Are there size reducers that work on non-humanoids?


Advice


Are there spells, magic items, (least favored) class abilities, or other methods that allow non humanoid creatures to copy Reduce Person or similar effects? I'm always trying to find ways to creatively cram large monsters into smaller passageways without squeezing.


The spell squeeze doesn't reduce size but does let you squeeze without penalty. Similarly there's a few magic items which give the compression ability IIRC.

Pup shape and reduce animal work for animals.

A dwindling bullet might work if the target deliberately fails a save, while it references reduce person it doesn't explicitly say you can't use it on other types. Only 1d4 rounds duration though.


Seems like i would be easier to make bigger passageways. Unless you routinely have enormous monsters attack character in their inn, buildings and caves a monster lives in should be large enough to accommodate them.


You could just make up a Reduce Monster spell that your back guys have invented. Sorry, I don't have a good by-the-book solution to your problem.

You could use big snakes, they could reasonably fit through narrow passages. Earth elementals have Earth Glide, so they could be partly in an earth/stone wall while fighting in a narrow passage.
