We've got vicious animal-type critters already in the game. We just need a mastermind to tame them and train them.
Tier 1 pets could be rikti monkeys, tier 2 pets could be snakes, and tier 3 pet could be a big bad werewolf... just change the way they look so they don't look exactly like the NPC versions. When training them up, throw on spiked collars and/or harnesses.
Then take the new whip animations from demon summoning and change the flaming look of the whip to just a standard looking lash, have it to lethal damage... maybe have one of the attacks be something like "Crack The Whip" and include a fear effect in addition to damage.
