Eos is the permanent pet of Scholar. Eos performs Embrace, Whispering Dawn, Fey Illumination, Fey Blessing, and Fey Union.
Eos has several technical details that need to be considered when creating a replacement.
Eos is classified as a flying/floating creature.
Eos has 1 to 1 scaling. Any creature placed on them will be their true size.
Eos is not affected by /petsize commands.
An Eos replacement generally involves several basic parts
Model replacement
Skeleton replacement
Binder replacement
Idle Animation replacement
Movement Animation replacement
Spawn Animation, VFX, and SFX replacement
Despawn Animation, VFX, and SFX replacement
Embrace Animation, VFX, and SFX replacement
Whispering Dawn Animation, VFX, and SFX replacement
Fey Illumination Animation, VFX, and SFX replacement
Fey Blessing Animation, VFX, and SFX replacement
Fey Union Animation, VFX, and SFX replacement
In addition to the basic parts of the replacement, there are often other factors to consider that are more advanced edits
Scaling the model, skeleton, animations, and binders.
Shifting factors necessary for putting a terrestrial creature onto a flying/floating summon.
Eos does not have attachment settings. So when replacing it with a creature that is supposed to wield a particular weapon, the weapon has to be located and manually attached and weighted to the skeleton to be added to the model.
Some creatures, like Demi-humans, have multiple separate pieces that are combined by the game to give them variety. These parts have to be combined together to use as a replacement.
When thinking about what kind of creature you want to use for a replacement, think about some details about the creature.
If it's a terrestrial creatures, does it have a movement animation? Some terrestrial creatures, like Menphina with Dalamud, are stationary and thus do not have movement animations necessary for a terrestrial creature to appear to be walking or running. This is usually not an issue for floating/flying creatures that can get away with using their idle for movement.
Does it have any attack animations? Mounts do not usually have attack animation unless they are a variant or used in combat somewhere in the game. This can make creating a replacement far too difficult to execute well, which may result in me turning down the commission request.
Does the creature have particular attacks that you already know of that you can see replacing particular abilities that the summon has?
$35
If you're still interested in commissioning a creature replacement, and want an idea of price, I've thought of a base price to set for a basic replacement of the basic parts indicated above.
If the creature you want to use for the replacement requires more advanced editing and work, a higher price might need to be negotiated based on the complexity of the following.
Scaling
Shifting
Model combination
Weapon Attachment
