[QUOTE="drunkmoogle, post: 1668039, member: 18336"] Edit Note: This is for 7th level, since my Transmuter is currently 6th and I'm doing research into <8HD forms. Well, when it comes to somethuing truly mean and scary, go Treant. 29 STR, 21 CON, an AC of 20, and two slam attacks that do greatsword damage (2d6+9), you're going to be putting the hurting on something. The Double Damage Against Objects/Structures and 15' Reach is icing on the cake. And you could do this at 7th level (7 Hit Dice)! Watch out for Fire, though. At any level, you could turn into an X-headed hydra, where X=your HD. Combined with Share Spell and a Familiar, you'll be doing better than any single Dwarven Defender at defending a location (assuming you use a certain interpretation of the Hydra's Combat Reflexes feat). You could also gain the [Fire] or [Cold] subtype for free with Pyro/Cryohydra, granting you Fire/Cold immunity. Swim speed means that they could swim, if need be. Unfortunately, it suffers from a merely mediocre strength of 19, but a great CON of 20. Manticore gives you a decent ranged attack (6 Spikes at 1d8+2) if you don't have any other ranged firepower.
