Polymorph targets for tight spaces

[2097]

I've got a level 8 character attuned to a "wand of polymorph self" (a wand that can only cast polymorph on your self); what are some good beasts to use on your self in more claustrophobic areas where a t-rex might struggle?

[Mastikator]

Of the large size category the highest CR is 4, Giant Coral Snake from Ghosts of Saltmarch. Next is the Giant Scorpion from the monster manual which is CR 3.

Sorry, nothing large or smaller can compete with a t-rex.

Edit- If we limit ourselves to medium then it's the Deinonychus from MPMM. Which is CR 1.

But you can always polymorph enemies into bunnies.

Effective use of self-polymorph requires lots of space.

Not explicitly spelled out in the stat block but a giant octopus should work in small spaces.

[Samayu]

Its best use at that time, is probably in non-combat situations, or maybe to get you out of combat. What's the creature with the highest speed, and enough HP to last an extra round?

Giant Eagle only has 26 hit points, but it has a fly speed of 80.

Swarm of Cranium Rats comes up when I search Beasts; we were looking the other night for Polymorphs that might work with a Summoned Steed to effectively twin. It's CR5, but might be an 'ask your DM' thing.

Awesome! This campaign started as a GoS campaign ♥

Ah but this wand can only target oneself, not an ally or enemy.
