First, the rule in question:

Savage Dominion
The shaman sends his mind winging into the wilds and possesses the largest creature he can find and bend to his will. Savage Dominion has a casting value of 9. If successfully cast, you can summon one MONSTER and add it to your army. Set up the summoned model within 6" of the edge of the battlefield and more than 9" from any enemy models. This counts as its move for the upcoming movement phase.

So what can I summon with this spell? Can I summon a Cockatrice? Galrauch? Daemon Prince? Keeper of Secrets? Chaos Lord on Manticore?, Kroq-Gar on Carnosaur? Nagash? Each of these have the 'MONSTER' keyword on their Warscrolls. Am I missing something, or is this one of those

rules?

It says monster, so I'd assume anything with the monster keyword.

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

Yeup. So add Karl Franz to the list, Kairos Fateweaver, Stegadons, etc, to the list. The Monster doesn't even have to be something with a Summon rule or even CHAOS.

However, your friends may mind when a Chaos Beast summons their lord on a gryphon to face their cannons...

RAW - Anything with a monster keyword, regardless of having a hero on top of it or from another faction

You own the model, plop it on down. Same as the rest of AOS.

How I'd play it personally: Something that has the monster keyword, and no crew since it's in the wilds.

But its a pretty wide open spell.
