Dark_Elf's Custom Pets Reloaded v6.0 for DungeonSiege II and Broken World requires Succubus
This mod combines Custom Pets Alpha 1.2, Vampiric Trasak, and my stfpackpetsds2.ds2res to make them compatible and no longer needed so they should be removed prior to installing this.
Also users of v1 of this mod, may want to unload those pets and start new, especially the pixie since i had to split it into 2 thus eliminating its original code from the petshop.
This mod makes a Haku Shaman, Battle Gorilla, (original gold values), Vampiric Trasak, Fellspine Mage, Pixie, Shadowy Naldrun, Skath Cat, Hyena, Birath, Vampire Carver Bat, Black Scorpion King,
2 Rust Guards, Happy Frog, Grizzly and Polar Bears, Garganturax, Haku Elder, plus male and female Druid Mercs, lertisk, ralatar, tharva, klask, ketril, taugrim, ganth, grimreaper, ghost, maguar, thrine, maltratar, mystic protector,
pack rat, pack wabbit, and dog available at the act 1, 2 and 3 pet shops for 666 gold.
The pets have the potential for 3 inventory pages but have to be fed to get them. the Shaman and Gorilla should do 6 pages if the original code is correct.
The pets should be available in act 1 provided no mods interfer, the petseller will be a Darkelf if the mod loads correctly.
The power the trasak uses is soul harvest and the aura is 10% leach life.
The powers on the other pets are pretty much original DSII powers as its too time consuming to code new powers.
The Haku Shaman now has new spell graphics.
Added 4 summons: Gargantuax, PolarBear, Grizzly Bear and Spirit Wolf, which the 2 Druids at the petshop have for example.
The Druids have Diablo 2 LOD spells (well not quite but similar to) - Fissure, spirit_of_barbs, inferno, tornado, druid_spirit_embrace, molten_boulder, surge_of_healing, oak_sage, heart of wolverine
and unlike the pets they are true mercs that come with armor.
The Elder Haku (red) used Jolt and Blind as its spells.
The Pixie is a combat mage Naldrun that gives mana instead of life, the Mana Rain spell works but casts every 30 seconds for some reason.
The Pixie has a new spell called Rip Mana which is like leach life except it steals mana instead.
Shadowy Naldrun is a combat mage that uses Fork Lightning and Static Bolt like its evil counterparts.
Birath is melee and has a powerful Infect spell.
Fellspine Mage is ranged and has a new spell called Acid Bolt to go with its Jolt spell.
Happy Frog is ranged and uses a spit spell.
Scorpion King is ranged and is similar to Scorpion Queen except black.
2 Rust Guards, lertisk, ralatar, tharva, klask, ketril, taugrim, ganth, pack rat, pack wabbit, and dog are melee.
grimreaper, ghost and Vampire Carver Bat are melee but have a leech life spell.
ghost is combat mage with leechlife-gravebeam combo spell
thrine and maguar are ranged
maltratar and mystic protector are nature mage
Skath Cat, Hyena Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear and Garganturax are pretty much like Direwolf and melee.
A pink pack rabbit as a summoned animal and as pet.
Bare Elf’s wolf, Dog himself as a summon and as a pet.
A pack rat summon and as pet
6 new merc hirelings - Elenda - melee axe
Fenella - Combat mage with nature secondary
Explorer Taiesse - melee mace
Ithirrenne the Fletcher - ranged crossbow
Lady Femme - ranged thrower
Drevin - back from the dead, melee shield

Comments
Where is the dark elf merchant NPC specifically located at? Can't seem to find him/her.
the dark elf merchant if working replaces the normal pet sellers in the towns, if the merchant is not a vai'kesh lookin seller then the mod is not working as intended.
Awesome mod! Is there any way to get the pet salesman to spawn on other maps, though? I've looked on the Legendary mod port of the DS1 map and he doesn't appear.
The way I remember it, the Legendary mod turned all the DS1 Kingdom of Ehb's mule sellers into pet salesmen. The first one is at Stonebridge, the next between Wesrin Cross and Glitterdelve, third at Glacern and last one at Fortress Kroth.
What I don't remember is whether the Utraean Peninsula map has been given any, since the original was a multi-player only map which in DS1 meant no mules allowed.
Yes, there are Pet Salesmen in the UP in the Legendary Mod. In Elldim, you have to complete a quest first
it would be possible to make... if one ones to take the time and add a few lines of code to the legendary mod pet seller.
