Creature Summon Codes
You can use the console cheats to fill your summoned creature slot with any creature in the game as long as you know its internal "tag" name. First, turn debug mode on as described in the previous "Cheat Codes" section, then use the dm_spawncreature command to summon up whatever creature you want. For example, to summon an ancient red dragon, press ~ and type:
dm_spawncreature nw_drgred003
A huge red dragon will appear next to you, and will automatically attack any nearby hostiles. The only trouble with these cheat-summoned creatures is that they don't follow you around after battle (except when you do area transitions). You'll have to re-summon them when you reach the next spot where you want them to fight for you.
Below, I list codes for some of my favorite summoned creatures. To find out other creature codes, use the Aurora Toolset to edit an encounter in any game module.
