What is summon beast 5e?

Summon Beast is a spell in the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons that allows the caster to summon a beast to assist them in combat or other tasks. The spell has a casting time of one action and requires the caster to have a small amount of material components, such as a tuft of fur or a feather from the creature they wish to summon.

The summoned beast is chosen by the caster from a list of creatures provided in the spell description, ranging from a wolf or panther to a giant eagle or rhinoceros. The creature has its own set of statistics and follows the commands of the caster, remaining under their control for the duration of the spell.

Summon Beast can be a useful tool for players who need extra combat support or help with scouting or exploration. However, it does have limitations, such as a limited duration and requirement for concentration, and can also be affected by certain spells or abilities that target summoned creatures.
