I am making a level 30 druid and I would like to create an epic version of Shapechange. What I want to do is be able to shapechange into what ever I want while making my creature type remain animal regardless of the shape that I choose to make, I also would like to be able to turn into some creatures of higher hit dice value than what I currently have. I know this is a tall order, but I figured it was worth a shot if it is possible. Any ideas on how I would go about doing that?

If you wanted, you could use the normal shapechange spell, you could create an epic spell using the transform seed to change your effective creature type. Depending on why you want the HD, it might be just as easy to give yourself a spell that enhances your shapechange. Create a spell that gives you the animal creature type and boosts whatever ability scores you need it too. Hope this helps.
