Purpose of Lar: Was a bet between Lar and his programmers, if he could be included in the game without Lar noticing it - well, I guess, you can see who won.
My XP: I let Lar live, killed wolves and was later on attacked by all dogs, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> sniff.
But I was lucky with cats!! I even protected Kitty in Aleroth with Aura of Guarding and Spellshield, so the orcs would not kill her. The city there is empty now = save her, she still walks around with her both halos.
