>I can't think of any particular animal forms.

...are you fucking serious?

Do you live in Kansas or Kazakhstan or some other place that's thousands of miles from the ocean, or something?

I mean ruleswise.
Yes there's a billion species in the ocean but what can I do within the rules? There's no point in me saying I want to be a giant squid if it has a CR of 6.

Urchins. Always urchins. Give yourself over to the wonderful Ur'Chin.

Does it have to be animals that live in the ocean or can it be animals that live by/rely on the ocean for their livelihood?

Because Pterodactyl.

Could probably look into ideas of desert druids for some inspiration.

>>53134078
The back index of the 5E Monster Manual has:
swarm of rats, raven, vulture, hawk (these three could be seagulls or albatross), octopus, giant octopus, sea horse, giant sea horse, reef shark, killer whale, hunter shark, giant eagle, giant vulture, giant crab, cat. (Sailors kept cats as pets to kill and eat rats for fear of disease.)

Do you not have a 5e MM?

>picking Circle of Dreams and not liking the selection of wild shapes because the challenge rating is too low
>not picking Circle of the Moon to up the CR max to 3

Seriously, even flavor wise, the moon manipulates the tides.

-Plesiosaurus CR 2
-Giant Octopus (yeah it's no giant squid but seriously, this is still great) CR 1
-Killer F'ing Whale???? CR3

Not to mention, you have a template of 'how to make x creature Giant' by comparing Giant Vulture to Vulture, and Giant Octopus to Octopus.

>>53134431
There's also Killer Whale (CR 3) and Hulking Crab (CR 5)

>>53134517
By the ocean is also good.
>>53134551
No sorry, though I realise that I should probably just grab a PDF of it and the other sources you mentioned. Just thought I'd ask /tg/ first.
>>53134567
It was more I don't know what animals have rules or not. Like if I wanted to be an anglerfish but there's no statblock for it. Stuff like that.

Thanks for the tips everyone else.

>>53133520
OP, What the fuck is going on in your pic?

>>53137170
It's a dead whale. The gasses released as bacteria breaks the body down will eventually cause the body to rupture.

>>53133520
Otters are god-tier for stealthy ocean druidry since you can do amphibious stuff and have functioning hands! Also you're cute and cuddly.

>>53133520
This looks like a job for Aqua Man.

HOW DOES THAT FUCKING TRIGGER YOU

Once I realized that a natural process could create such effects, it was easy to fluff necromancers turning undead whales (and zombies) into giant bombs of methane and tallow.

>>53134431
what the fuck, a saltwater croc is CR 1/2? Jesus christ... Those things get up to 1000kg...

>>53133520
So, you basically want to play Aquaman that turns into stuff?

>>53134078
Apply Dire templates, or templates in general. You ever seen a Dire Giant Squid? How about a Dire Half-Blue Dragon Giant Squid?
It entangles you in tentacles and then blasts the area with electricity because saltwater is a pretty good conductor.

>HOW DOES THAT FUCKING TRIGGER YOU
It doesn't. That anon doesn't actually play games. He's just posting on /tg/ because it's the closest he gets to genuine human interaction.

>into giant blimps of methane and tallow

I use floating giant bloated worms digesting carrion for that. They pretty much work as incendiary bombs.
