They are separate things. With a druid you'll get your animal companion,
then you can summon one other creature using a spell. The spell level
determines the creature, for example, dire badger for summon I, with
elementals as about 7 or 8.
When you level, your animal companion gets unsummoned, but when you rest
it stays. Spell summoned animals stay when you level (until you rest) but
disappear after resting.
Dire wolves are pretty tough, yet if you want something sneaky, a panther
is your best bet.
To email me, visit the site.
I have found the dire wolves best at low levels and the panther to be best
at
higher levels. (but never discount the badger at higher levels, his ferocity
is fabulous)
