This spell summons an outsider (extraplanar creature). It appears where the character designates and acts immediately, on the character’s turn. It attacks the character’s opponents to the best of its ability. If the character can communicate with the outsider, the character can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. Summoned creatures act normally on the last round of the spell and disappear at the end of their turn.

The spell conjures one of the creatures from the 1st-level list on the Summon Monster table below. The character chooses which creature to summon, and can change that choice each time the spell is cast.

1st Level
Celestial dog (animal)	LG
Celestial badger (animal)	CG
Fiendish dire rat	LE
Fiendish hawk (animal)	CE

When the character uses a summoning spell to summon an air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it is a spell of that type.
