Editing Norrathians: Additional Information Concerning Pets (section)

=Animations=

An animation may only attempt to break out of a grapple, and attack opponents threatening its master.  Animations may be given secondary weapons to replace the shield, and they may be given different shields to wield, but the sword may never be replaced as it is intrinsic to the essence of the creature.  Animations can never take direction, and can never release a weapon or shield that it holds – replacing a held item or unsummoning an animation results in the items held by the animation to simply wink out of existence.
