Summon monster II

Summon monster II, or monster summoning II, (originally called Lucke's monster summoning II ) was one of the series of summon monster spells available to spellcasters.

Effects
This spell functions just as all summon monster spells. It could summon a giant bee, giant bombardier beetle, riding dog, or eagle from one of the celestial planes or a lemure, squid, wolf, large monstrous centipede, medium-sized monstrous scorpion, medium-sized shark, medium-sized monstrous spider, or medium-sized viper from one of the fiendish planes. A kaorti from the Far Realm could also be summoned.

Alternatively, it could summon one to three dogs, owls, giant fire beetles, porpoises, badgers, or monkeys from the celestial planes or the same number of dire rats, ravens, medium-sized monstrous centipedes, small monstrous scorpions, hawks, small monstrous spiders, octopuses, or small vipers from one of the fiendish planes&mdash;provided they were within 30 feet of each other.

History
Like most of the other summon monster spells, this one was by the Netherese arcanist Lucke. He completed it in &minus;1984 DR, ten years after the creation of summon monster I.
