Yes Cripp, that does work, if you have a matching Pet name in the Pets and NPC_Types tables. I think the problem is, the #makepet command shows 2 different syntaxes.
Typing just #makepet alone says to do it the way you suggest (and the way that works), #makepet [creature_type].

Typing #help makepet shows a much different syntax, and does not work any longer.

Following this second syntax, I believe the 1st parameter is trying to be compared to something in the Pets/npc_types tables, and failing the lookup. The rest of this old syntax is ignored, apparently.
PS: I actually had to create MonsterSum5 myself to get a level 70 pet to show up. I think they stopped at MonsterSum4 in PEQ, which is a level 60 pet.
