Each great beast spirit watches over animals that share certain characteristics, which is represented through the unique template and the special abilities listed for each great beast spirit.

Depending on the great beast option you select, you gain access to a creature template and special wild traits that you can apply to that template.

Some wild traits are stronger than others (such as the trait ‘large’). These wild traits count as more than one wild trait and are marked by a parenthesis explaining how many wild trait options you must use to gain that trait.

The actions granted by the template can be used in place of an attack. These attacks use the template’s strength modifier + your proficiency bonus to calculate its bonus to attack rolls unless otherwise stated. Further, any template or wild trait that calls for a saving throw uses your spell save DC (even when you apply that trait to another creature).
