Tapping into the power of darkness and shade you give form to the shadows nearby, shaping them into a ferocious beast to slay your enemies. This living shadow appears in an unoccupied space you can see within 90 feet of you that is filled with dim or darker light and takes a form of a beast of your choice. Along with taking a normal form the beast may take the shape of a flying, aquatic, or burrowing creature at the DM's discretion, changing the stat block below accordingly. The beast acts on your initiative and is friendly to you and your allies, obeying all orders given to it by you. If it doesn't receive an order, the beast instead protects itself by taking the dodge or hide action on it's turn. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell’s level appears in the stat block.
