Seen Animals / Seen Beasts

[edit]

Beasts Togar can use for Wild Shape (or related druid features). Druids must have seen a beast before they can assume its form. Each entry links to a creature page with stats summary and where Togar saw it.

Update when Togar clearly sees new beasts at the table — add the creature page under Creatures, then link it here.


At a glance

[edit]
Character Togar (Druid 5 — Circle of the Land, Mountain)
Wild Shape uses 2 per short or long rest
Wild Companion Expend 1 Wild Shape use to cast find familiar (fey spirit form)
Party level 5th (Session 06 start)

Rules reminder (5th-level druid)

[edit]
  • Must have seen the beast — every form above has a creature page.
  • Challenge rating 1/2 or lower for Wild Shape at 5th level (unchanged until 8th).
  • No flying Wild Shape until 8th level — blood hawk and hippogriff are on the list for later; owl uses Wild Companion instead.
  • Swimming beasts (crocodile; giant octopus when CR allows) OK from 4th level onward.
