Enchanted Servants

You transform up to five Beasts of Challenge Rating 1/4 or lower that you can see within range. The targets must have an Intelligence of 3 or less. A Hostile target can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, it resists the transformation. 

Each creature transforms into a Humanoid with an appearance of your choosing. The target is clothed in common clothes, but has no other equipment. It retains its creature type, Hit Points, alignment, personality, and gains an Intelligence score of 5 (-3). It can't speak, but it understands the languages you speak. At the DM's option, a creature repeatedly transformed this way could learn a few words and basic expressions.

Each affected creature gains 4 Temporary Hit Points. These Temporary Hit Points can’t be replaced by Temporary Hit Points from another source. A target reverts to its normal form when it has no more Temporary Hit Points or it dies. If the spell ends before then, the creature loses all its Temporary Hit Points and reverts to its normal form. Articles of clothing created with this spell turn to dust if removed from a target or when the spell ends. 

The knowledge and awareness of the targets is limited by their intelligence, but they can recognize friends and foes and follow simple instructions. Targets that were hostile when casting the spell remain hostile, and social interaction or magic might be required to change their attitude. Otherwise, a target's starting attitude is either Indifferent or Friendly. 

In combat, roll initiative for the creatures as a group, which has its own turns. Friendly targets obey your verbal commands (no action required). If you don’t issue any, a creature takes the Dodge action and uses its movement to avoid danger.
