Ok, do you want these creatures to act as both summonables, and as spawnable oponents? The reason why I ask is because you'll need to attach factions to the summonable version so that guards don't attack it, and so it doesn't go on a rampage slaughtering everything in sight (including you). You should attach the prey fastion, the adventurer faction. You should also set the personality of the creature to 30, and the aggression to 10. With this done, you need to script the spell to add the creature, then remove the creature. You need to do something like:

scn customsummonscript

ref pet
short doneonce

begin scripteffectstart

if doneonce != 1
set pet to player.placeatme *ID of creature spawned*, 1, 256, 1
set doneonce to 1
else
pet.kill
set doneonce to 0
end

begin scripteffectfinish
pet.kill
set doneonce to 0
end

Place this script within a spell that works on the player, with a duration.

 

Then on the creature to be summoned, place a script like:

scn Removesummonscript

begin ondeath
removeme
end

 

If I havn't made any mistakes, when cast, the spell places the creature behind the player. When cast again, or the duration ends, it kills the creature, and instantly removes the body.

 

Now this won't make your creature follow the player or do anything else other than stand there. In order to change this, you will need to add AI packages.

I started a reply to this earlier then thought "Vagrant0 will find this and do a much better job then me". I was apparently proven right. For the AI package Vagrant mentions I would suggest looking to see what is done for the normal summons as a refrence.
