Two kinds of people in the world... Some talk about mind-controlling termites into an unstoppable slave army, some think how easy it'd be to trick a bunch of children into turning into elephant bombs.

Who said anything about children?
Though, that is a good idea, more children can fit into the spell radius.
Also, Animal Shape can't turn anyone into elephants. They are Huge, not Large.

What about small Italian elephants

Nobody said anything, but that's just the solution my head was coming up with when I read about the termite approach.

Ahh yeah, forgot the size requirement... That thing always messes me up because it also says "of CR 4 or lower", but there aren't any CR 4 beasts that are smaller than huge. Welp.

Plesiosaurs seem like they'd be pretty big for a Large critter. And being aquatic means it'll clean up the ones that survive the fall too, so no witnesses to rat you out for having tricked people!

You could have a bunch of halflings in a tiny carriage on a tiny elephant

A Giant Coral Snake from Ghosts Of Saltmarsh is apparently a large CR 4 beast, and the spell could also theoretically work for homebrew creatures as well.

The solution to the Conjure/Animal Shapes both requiring concentration is to have two druids.

I'm hoping to run a boss fight with an archdruid soon, and I'm planning on using him to cast Animal Shapes on his Awakened Tree minions while he's using his Wild Shape ability to be invisible and laugh in the corner.

[pikachu17]

Wait, Wild Shape can make you invisible?

[Kagus]

Bacteria is definitely classed as Beast.

[pikachu17]

But bacteria can't laugh, as far as I know.

[Superdorf]

And to wildshape into one, you'd have to have first seen one... not impossible, but rather difficult in most settings.

[Mephisto]

The smallest thing on a size chart I found with a second of Googling is Fine, which gets a +16 to hide. Since nothing can be smaller than Fine, it shouldn't be too hard to see a bacterium.

[IcyTea31]

Out in the open, maybe, but as a bacterium you can take total cover behind a dust particle and thus become impossible to spot.
