Ideas for a TF-based DnD game

Baleful Polymorph more or less instantaneously reduces the target to a harmless animal state, so I'm not sure it would fit the OP's purposes.

Seriously, there doesn't need to be any game rule mechanics for this. Just have the data of the animal or monster you want said person to turn into handy; from there, you can do this whole thing through roleplay. As the DM, tell the character what's happening to them, and have them roleplay it out. You don't need to go any further than that. Unless you have a more specific need for the rules?

Savage Species has the anthropomorphic animal "template."
Lycanthropy of various kinds has been covered in various Monster Manuals, both generic and campaign-specific, like the weresnake from Serpent Kingdoms (Forgotten Realms) or the wereraven and wereray from Ravenloft.
Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey is a Ravenloft-specific book that offers information on a type of fey that can make you think you're a horse. It also happens to have a pair of spells that can give the target a single trait of an animal, be it a donkey's head, a set of snakes fangs, a lion's tail, etc.
