summon minor monster - varisian hagfish

[melferburque]

I had a player last night use "summon minor monster" and augmented summoning to summon celestial varisian hagfish. these only appear in a skull & shackles AP, i cant find anything in additional resources that designates if they are legal for play or not. assuming he owns the AP, is this a legal summon?

it seemed a bit cheesy that he summoned them on land, but they do have a move speed. I allowed it last night because it didn't really impact anything but id want to follow up with him on the legality of his summon. can someone clarify please?

Summon Minor Monster has been ruled to only allow creatures explicitly listed in the spell.

Unless the ruling from this thread has been overturned, not legal.

The two most relevant posts from that thread:

No an official response, but in PFS when using spells that have that wording "such as..." you will encounter table variation for anything except the provided list.

I would say that you should stick to:
bats
lizards
monkeys
rats
ravens
toads
weasels

This is similar to the spell bestow curse where it says "you can also invent your own curse" but in PFS you have to pick from the three in the list or you are running into GM fiat.

As Carlos mentioned above, we are going to stick with the animals listed in the description of the spell.
