Doing this is a move action which lasts until the end of an encounter, receiving a bonus to all of their Defenses equal to their Wisdom attribute, and receiving natural attacks appropriate for the creature (either consisting of a Primary and two Secondary attacks such as a bite and two claws, or consisting of a single Primary attack which adds 1.5x Strength modifier to damage).
