No creatures above CR 20 can be called into the arena.Polymorph - Monsters that can alter self, polymorph, or shapechange are limited to the following choices:1) Any monster of its type or subtype that also has the same alignment.2) Any monster that it knows about due to a knowledge skill. (Propose a candidate and I will tell you if the monster knows enough to polymorph into it.)3) Any monster it observes fighting in the arena.[/sblock]Well, if Ugulu is going to read your spoiler, Infiniti, he might as well read mine, as well. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /></blockquote>
