Legal Creatures

Official List of AL Legal Creatures for Spells/Abilities

Cross-Post from the WotC Forums

As per the recent FAQ update, the DM basic rules is only allowed if no legal targets are present in the Allowed Rules sources. In an effort to save time, this thread is intended as a repository for all legal creature options for use with spells/features. Alternatively, you can view this list (sorted by Spell/Ability) on the DndAL FAQ

The following Spell require use of the Monster Manual

• • Create Undead: ghast

The following Spells/Features require use of the DM Basic Rules

• Features: Elemental Wildshape

  • Spells: awaken (only if plant), conjure celestial, conjure elemental, conjure minor elementals, create undead (ghoul), and planar ally (only if celestial or elemental, as the Imp and Quazit are in the PHB)

All other Spells/Features are limited to the options in the PHB/MM. 

• • This includes (but is not limited to) polymorph, shapechange, find steed, true polymorph, conjure woodland beings (sprite only), conjure fey, gate, wildshape, etc.

  • Sadly, this means nobody will be shapechanging into a dragon as there are no dragons (other than pseudodragon) in the PHB/MM Appendix A.
