This thread's been beat to death, but I wondering what everyone considered to be the best polymorph form to assume, and/or what is the best effigy for a master to build. I'm not neccessrily looking to recreate an old thread. If someone could direct me to a previous, similar thread it would be appreciated.

Depends on what you want.

Standard cheese, I'm afraid. Since effigies don't retain supernatural attacks/abilities of the base creature, I'm looking for something that derives its CR from hit points and raw melee ability. A few special abilities wouldn't hurt either. I was thinking of a bulette (tough sucker, can also dig), a behir (lose the lightning, but still tough), or a girallion. Maybe a hellcat (better than the dire lion for the same hit dice). Problem is, I only have MM I at this point. I'm planning on purchasing II and III, but I'm also trolling (hehe) for wiser gamers' advice.

For effigies you can't beat Dragons... Reds and Golds being the most powerful.
