Hmm... Interesting, we have a similar thread on our forum .

If you`ve changed them directly on the map - you`ve done it in vain.
if you want to edit NPC when he is in your party, you `ll have to change prototypes named like "Sulik (stage X)" for each of the NPC level.

I think you need to rebuild the map the cyber gecko is on, then make sure it's unvisited in your current game (you can delete the sav file from your save folder during the game if it's there). Also unless you change all the dog's protos it'll turn back into a dog when it levels up.
