Wondering if there is a way to get a Dire Wolf with the Shadow or Dark or both templates as an animal companion or cohort. The character I'm playing is basically a rogue type that will eventually become a telflammar shadow lord. He has a slight obsession with the plane of shadow and being able to slip in and out of places un-noticed.
Anywho, I'm writing up a backstory for him and was wondering if there were any possible way to get the aforementioned wolf as a companion? If so, I have no idea at all what its stats would look like, or what abilities or attacks it would have, would it be able to communicate with me via speech? Do i need Handle Animal ranks?
I'm a total noob basically and need some help figuring this out, if it's even possible. I mean, anything is possible with a little coercing of the DM, but I would like to try and do it as "by the book" as possible before bringing it up to him.
I wanted to write it into the story as a companion that I may have come across when doing the ritual to have the Shadow walker template bestowed to me by the priests of Thesk. Something along those lines.
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
