Added Sample Wolf[]
First sample is posted! Enjoy:) Generic Fighter

Whew! After some decent number crunching probablility predicting, I filled in all the possible animal companions (including higher-level Alternative companions) and figured out at which level does the effective Druid level of their master equal 18th, the top tier of adancement for companions. For example, a Huge Shark is a "level -9" alternate, so doesn't show up until the level 12-14 bracket, since when its master turns level 12 is the first time it advances to the 3rd-5th advancement tier for animal companions, and it reaches its maximum advancement in the level 27-29 bracket when it hits the 18th-20th advancement tier for animal companions. Turns out there's 354 varieties of the standard animal companions to contemplate (not even counting the fact that this repository is looking for a Combat, Tracking, and/or Mount variety of each of those)! I've also completed the StatShort template, which may make it easier to create these, and I created a few Dire Bears, which I'm using in my campaign.

Thanks and Update coming[]
Thanks for the help, Midnight:) I wasn't sure on how to do that file = different name thing and didn't want to accidently mess up the Dragon Project to figure out how exactly to do it. Also, thanks for the help and for adding this to the site Projects list. I will be updating this Project with a couple Dire Bats and maybe a Wolf or two later today.

- No problem, that's what I'm here for as both a D&D supporter and a Wiki admin. And thanks for not messing with my Sample Dragons and making more for me to clean up :). But in seriousness, remember that there is the Preview option when editing pages in this wiki; you can edit any page, make some changes, or experiment with the code, preview it and then hit the "Cancel" link and not permanently affect the page (and no other users will see your experiments, since they're all cached only for your session). So some careful experimentation is available to you.

First Dire Bat Posted[]
As it says. Also, I updated the main post to help clairify some things. To sum it up, I don't really expect multiple examples of most of these Sample Animal Companions. For Example: There are about three creatures in all the Monster books I have (which is just about all of them) that could concievably "Ride" a medium Viper as a "Mount" so I wouldn't expect a "Mount" entry for it. I just threw that idea in for those few Animal Companions that could serve diferent, more specialized roles easily, like the Wolf/Dire Wolf.

Dire Rat[]
I posted a few dire rats of single type. I've updated rats a few levels until clearly rediculous.
