The circle of Monsters is a relatively new druid circle, and their beliefs are not widely accepted by most other druids. Druids of the circle of monsters seek to preserve the natural order of everything and believe even the most alien of creatures are an important part of nature. these druids seek to immerse themselves in the habitats of monsters and other strange creatures, most commonly, the Underdark, and the planes of existence less commonly. the highest honor and goal of druids of this circle is to be able to reach the far realm and return alive with the knowledge. none have yet achieved this feat

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape to transform into monstrosities as well as beasts. you can also use your Wild Shape to transform into creatures in a type of your choice. choose a creature type: aberrations, celestials, dragons, fey, fiends, oozes, or plants. you can use wild shape to transform into creatures of this type. if the creature you wildshape into has weapons, you do not have them while as that creature. finally, your max wildshape CR is 1/2, and remains that way till 6th level. other wildshape restrictions on flying and swimming speed still apply.
