Summons a powerful exotic creature to the caster's aid: a manticore, a lindwurm, or, at high power, even a sphinx. Casting the spell at higher power also increases the strength of the beasts themselves.

Monstrous Menagerie is a level 7 Summoning spell which summons an exotic creature or a pack of Harpies.

Effect

One beast or up to three harpies are summoned. Higher spell power gives a chance of a Sphinx, boosts the strength of the creature(s) and increases the number of Harpies summoned.

When spell power is higher than 60 there is a chance for a Sphinx. If Sphinx wasn't summoned there is an equal chance of Harpies, a Manticore or a Lindwurm. For Dithmenos worshippers Lindwurm is replaced by Manticore.

There are two chances for an additional Harpy. One is <power> in 80, and the other is <power> - 75 in 100.[1]

Summoned monsters gain 0 to 6 additional HD based on spell power. The formula is (<power> - 50) / 25, randomly rounded to an integer.[2]

Duration of the summons is around 36 turns, it does not depend on the spell power.

Monster Version

The monster version functions like the player version, except no HD bonus is given to the summoned creatures.
