Variation in Wildshape Forms

[Cataclysm of Iron]

Obviously we have totems, but as an idea for other druids (partly inspired by the oddness of their not getting the Polymorph Self spell) - have a series of options for each of the five animal shapes which druids can select via a -command or the rest menu.

To streamline it and prevent devs having to balance and do progression for more creatures, literally just reskin thematically - e.g bear alternatives could include rothe, horse, sewer beast; wolf could include spider, badger could include rat, panther could include tiger, etc.

Could also require encountering/empathying a certain animal or just hitting a certain level to unlock.

Also, related: give wildshaping druids the option to choose between the normal or dire forms of the default rather than simply making it always dire after they’re unlocked (unless this is already the case!)
