Summon

When an animal is summoned it is transported from its place of residence to the summoner's location. Once summoned, the animal can perform a task or help the user in battle. The animals can also be used as sensors either by using their own "normal" senses or by sensing chakra. If the Summons is large enough, it is also possible for a summoner to get into their mouth and release the summons so that they disapear with the animal.

The summon is not required to help the user, and may be more of a hindrance than an ally. In addition, summons are able to summon their summoner. They may also wear a forehead protector, suggesting a loyalty to only one village.

They are also capable of chakra control.
