There are at least 6 or 8 animals, though, for each CR. Elementals do not have that amount of flexibility. When Jeremy writes things like this, I just take it with a grain of salt.Just like when he wrote that "The DM will often choose creatures that are appropriate for the campaign and that will be fun to introduce in a scene". Not at our table. We created a list and it is random. This prevents DM bias (pro or con), just like it prevents player bias.</blockquote>
