Can druids turn into animals at level 1?

No, in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, druids do not get the Wild Shape ability at level 1; they gain it at level 2, allowing them to transform into beasts they have seen before, with specific Challenge Rating (CR) and movement restrictions that vary by subclass and level. At level 2, non-Moon druids can turn into CR 1/4 beasts without flying/swimming, while Moon Druids can turn into CR 1 beasts (still with restrictions).
