Lorewise, most druids have a specific animal group that they are attuned to. I.E. druids of the claw can be bears and cats, druids of the talon become ravons, etc… It’s entirely possible for a very eccentric druid of the talon to try and shapeshift into a painstrider.
Do you keep racial features in Wild shape?
Wild Shape lets you retain any of your racial traits that aren’t specific to your normal anatomy.
Can Druids Turn into other races?
Druids are able to transform into animals and other beasts because of their connection to nature and its inhabitants. However, this unfortunately does not mean that they can form unique bonds with other animals as a human.
How many times can a druid shapeshift?
A Druid can initially use Wild Shape once per day. For every 2 levels beyond 4th, the Druid can make one more change per day. The “Extra Wild Shape” feat gives 2 extra changes per day, and can be taken repeatedly and cumulatively.
Do you keep Darkvision when you wild shape?
Keep it. You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
Can Druids Wildshape into Owlbears?
No. Druids can only wildshape into animals, and owlbears are monstrosities.
Do Druids only get 2 Wildshapes?
This is a class defining feature, but it’s also not even a tiny bit under-powered. If you want something similar, go look at the warlock’s spell slots. They get 2. They recharge on short rests.

What can a druid turn into in wild shape?
The list of beast shapes below only include a cherry-picked selection of “excellent” options for use with Wild Shape. If you want a full and complete list of beast forms that your druid could (potentially) transform into, check out this list of Wild Shape options, organized by challenge rating.
Can a Beasthide shifter use its racial shifting?
Beasthide Shifters get temporary hit points and a bonus to AC – that’s easily explained for most Wild Shape forms by growing a tougher hide, feathers, scales etc. Soft-bodied creatures like an octopus or jellyfish would be harder to justify, but perhaps not – an octopus could grow an external shell like a nautilus, perhaps?
Can a Longtooth shifter use its racial shifting?
Longtooth Shifters get an additional unarmed strike with elongated fangs, which they can use as a bonus action. This could easily be applied to any animal with teeth, or if your DM is generous, any kind of mouth (imagine a raven sprouting fangs). This could upgrade the attack of a small animal or one without a specific bite attack.
Can a druid take a form with a fly speed?
Note: Remember that Druids (including Moon Druids) can’t take forms with a swim speed until level 4, and can’t take forms with a fly speed until level 8, so many forms which are fantastic for their CR will be rated poorly because by the time you get them they need to compete with considerably more powerful forms.
