Create Monster

You summon a monster creature of challenge rating 6 or lower. It appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The monster creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The monster creature is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the creature, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to the monster creature, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

The monster exists and acts independently of you.

The monster also has reduced hit points in comparison to its real world counterpart - it is, afterall, only a facsimilie.
