You summon beasts that appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. The summon beasts must be of Small or smaller size. Choose one of the following options for what appears:
- One beast of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
- Two beasts of challenge rating 1/4 or lower
- Four beasts of challenge rating 1/8 or lower
- Eight beasts of challenge rating 0
Each beast disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
The GM has the creatures' statistics. Sample creatures can be found below.
At Higher Levels. At evey odd levels, you double the number of creatures summoned.
