Seen Animals / Seen Beasts

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.

Rules reminder (5th-level druid)

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.
