D&D 5E Elemental Wild Shape

The search function for the website seems to be broken so I will just have to start this thread. I apologize if this has already been talked about.

When a druid from the Circle of the Moon reaches level 10 they get Elemental Wild Shape, which means they can spend two uses of Wild Shape to turn into an elemental of air, fire, water or earth. But what kind of elemental can you chose from? By that I mean, what CR level are you restricted to?

It's the same as other forms, so your Druid level divided by 3, rounded down.
CR 3 at level 10, CR 4 at level 12, etc.

I am wrong.

This is incorrect. You are allowed to tur into one of the four specified creatures - which are all CR 5. It is not saying you ca turn into any elemental - just those 4 specified ones.

I would allow lower CR elementals also if the druid so chose.

Cool. I never thought to check the Monster Manual for just Fire Elemental, Water Elemental, Earth Elemental or Air Elemental. I thought a fire elemental would be a monster type, kind of like "Summon Minor Elemental" lets you chose an elemental under a certain CR rating.

This is so much easier. No hidden meaning or "It could be interpreted this way." It's just "Pick one of four."
