I've converted the DS1 spider boss to DS2 for a map.
That's a big spider!

Ahh!

Aye, he might make a good pet and/or summon too. Great model for DS1! I also converted drakes over. They were one of my favorite monsters. I made a DS1 mod way back that made them translucent for a Ghost Drake, lol. Another favorite of mine are DS1 rats. I have them in a DS2 minimap I made about 6 years ago (I meant to upload the minimap in STD's abandoned mod section). Darkelf said, "It was fun," so I'm polishing it up.

Don't forget that there's a massive repository of DS1 monsters in the DS1 mappack http://siegetheday.org/?q=node/1607#comment-36265 that's free to be used in any project. There's templates and resources there that enables probably over 300 monsters from DS1, LOA and some from the brittania project.

There's some interesting possibilities with regards to summons as well. For instance in Dungeon Siege Adepts (a mod I made for DS1) there were Final Fantasy style summons that summons a monster next to a target, ie. an enemy monster. The summons would only last for about 6-10 seconds but do a lot more damage than regular summons as they were meant to act more like spells. With this you could summon such exotic beasts as Googores, Mine Worms, Tretchs and Unguis.
