Heyo,

Ya, sorry I didn't make myself clearer. I should have posted the wolf's base template as well as the spell itself.

You would have to change the base template name to something like "cm_summon_wolf_black_lili" and make sure you change the actual summoning spell to point to the new template. You can make a new spell icon( s ) by adjusting the existing ones to look more black than grey and just whip up a new summoning spell based on your new template.

Here is an example:

[t:template,n:cm_summon_wolf_black_lili]
{
	category_name = "1W_evil_d";
	doc = "[summon] drake_green";
	specializes = base_wolf;
	[actor]
	{
		[skills]
		{
			strength =  4, 0;
			intelligence =  1, 0;
			dexterity =  5, 0;
            			melee =  2,  0;
		}
	}
	[aspect]
	{
		life_recovery_unit   = 1;
		life_recovery_period = 7;
		experience_value = 0;
		life = 18;
        		max_life = 18;
       		mana = 2;
        		max_mana = 2;
        		textures:0 = b_c_edm_wf;// change to b_c_edm_wf_02   
        		scale_base = 0.65;//can be bigger or whatever you like  
	}
	[attack]
	{
		attack_range = 0.5;
		damage_max = 11;
		damage_min = 8;
	}
	[body]
	{
		min_move_velocity = 4.2;
		avg_move_velocity = 5.6;
	}
	[common] { screen_name="Gray Wolf"; }//"Black Wolf"
	[defend] { defense=19; }
	[inventory]
	{
		[pcontent]
		{
			[gold*]
			{
				chance = 0;
			}
		}
	}
	[mind]
	{
		sight_range 			= 14;
		melee_engage_range 		= 14;
		ranged_engage_range 		= 14;
		actor_weapon_preference		= WP_MELEE;
	}
}

This needs to be changed on the actual summoning spell template-at the bottom:

[spell_summon]
	{
		effect_script = "summon";
		end_script = "un_summon";
		script_params = "[scale(1.75)]";
		template_name = cm_summon_wolf; //cm_summon_wolf_black_lili
		description = "Summoned Creature";
		caster_description = "Controlling Summoned";
	}
}

You would only need a character portrait IF you were going to make him a permanent member of the party, like the summon npc. Something like this maybe:

It isn't great artwork. I just googled black wolf and cropped a picture down.

Then you would need a new template and new summoning spell ( I used the summon npc spell templates as a guide)

Here is my base template for Foofy (he is a tough little guy, too}:
