Being the highest CR beast in the MM at CR 8 that is fairly top of the line for a beast.It also has an AC of 13.The spell as written already specifies some possible downsides."The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech.""The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment."I too see it as causing a loss of language ability, but I don't see it as inducing total disorientation. Total disorientation I would expect to be mechanically represented by being stunned or some such.</blockquote>
