[5e OGL] How do you set up an alternate form in the Roll20 DnD 5E character sheet, for example a Druid animal form?

How do you set up an alternate form in the Roll20 DnD 5E character sheet, for example a Druid animal form?  I can't seem to find any way to do it or any reference to it.  I know I can't be the only one to make a Druid that shifts.

It may not cover everything you want to do, but you might want to create NPC character sheets for the animals the druid commonly wildshapes into and give the druid the ability to control the character sheets. You then delete the PC token and drop the animal token in its place on the map. When the druid reverts, you delete the animal token and drop the PC token back onto the map.
Like Brian said, create separate sheets for the wild shapes. I use a roll table token to add all the shapes into one token and then choose which shape from the slider.

Jesse K. said: Like Brian said, create separate sheets for the wild shapes. I use a roll table token to add all the shapes into one token and then choose which shape from the slider. Although that means that the HP / AC / darkvision range for dynamic lighting / etc. is not tied to the token for each individual shape, correct? There is not really a good spot on the NPC sheet to store current hit points, and wildshape has its own hit points before dropping back to the druid who takes any carryover damage. The token is one of the few easy places to store the current HP that I can think of.
Thanks for the help.  I've never used multiple tokens before, and I'm not sure what a roll table token is, so I'm going to have to figure those out.  I thought I was going to have to use multiple sheets, but I wanted to check and see if someone else had a better method.

The nice thing is you can link stuff like hp and ac in the little circles on the token to the character sheet and then edit the character sheet to make it the default token. For the wild shapes, you do the same thing, but do not actually link the hp to the NPC sheet. Just type the actual values in to the token before saving it as the default token. That way, the hp is not remembered from one time you use it to the next. Then you can delete the token when they switch shapes and drag the character sheet back onto the map for the correct shape. The wild shapes start at full health, and the druid hp starts wherever it was before the wild shape.
