Hummingbirds make for bad spys as they are an hour away from starvation for large parts of their lives.

But it's a magic shapeshifter hummingbird. Do they even need to eat?

Good question, how far do wild shape replicate biologic aspects?

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, obviously it doesn't mess with your brain otherwise if you turned into a cat you'd probably just spend the rest of the day sleeping and licking your butt.

Polymorph messes with your brain and doesn't make you do that tho

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Eh two different spells, one affects the brain the other doesn't. Maybe polymorph makes you poop little round pellets too.

Maybe you wouldn’t, but IMO that’s half the reason to be a cat.

You’re a fool if you don’t think Sirius Black spent most his time in Azkaban licking his balls.

There are stories of druids shifting to wild shape and living among nature for years, so I would assume they need to eat the same way their shifted shape would. It seems unlikely that they could be sustained from the magic of a single spell for that long.

I have always played and DM'd that wildshaped druids can take their normal meal times like the animal would. So if they're crossing a plain the druid could reduce the need for supplies by being a horse and eating grass

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not in D&D. They just need to eat every other day, like anything else that doesn't have enough CON to go longer. I'm not sure how much they need to eat. I'm told there's a table on page 111 of the DMG, but I don't own one.

Loud as hell too! Sounds like god's own hornet when they buzz you.
