I seem to remember certain animal npcs just didn't summon. I don't want to say this was the basis, but it'd be kind of strange for an animal to say "You will not evade me, Soandso."

You're right on about that. As silly as that sounds, it's true. The ice burrowers didn't summon because they were animals. Animals don't summon. Very important thing to know back then.
Aside from that, it was a hard and fast rule of everything over level 50 summons (at least in the Verant days). It didn't require that you did any damage, it only required that the mob not be at 100% health, and whoever had aggro not be in melee range. Mobs that summoned, summoned every 6 seconds. I had a druid friend who kited summoning mobs on that principle.
On my wizard, I would intentionally face the opposite direction of a tank that I didn't like in revamped CT, and cast the level 34 nuke with the knockback on the mobs at every cooldown just to make him get summoned backwards and backstabbed.
