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

There are two chances for an additional Harpy. One is <power> in 80, and the other is <power> - 75 in 100.[2]

Summoned monsters gain from 0 to 6 additional hit dice based on spell power. The formula is (<power> - 50) / 25, randomly rounded to an integer.[3]

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