Despite polymorph self not being a spell in 3.5, the update left that untouched talk to the DM and see if "minor adjustments" ( DMG 4) can be made to these requirements (like expanding them!) to bring them in line with the 3.5 revision. In addition to the requirements base attack bonus +3 and Concentration 10 ranks, a creature needs to meet the special requirement Alternate Form: "Must either know polymorph self or have a natural alternate form, alter self, polymorph self, or shapechange ability" ( OA 46).

In addition, the prestige class shapeshifter (originally Oriental Adventures 45-6 and updated to Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 by the Dragon #318 article "Oriental Adventures Update: Eastern Flavor" (35-6)) grants explicitly and progressively better wild shape starting at level 1. Good thing that doesn't matter as druid levels are off the table anyway.) KRyan's answer describes the feat Initiate of Horus-Re ( CV 31) with its limited wild shape and the template Mulhorandi divine minion with its variant fast wild shape. (Omitting, for example, the variant totem druid ( Dragon #335 87) is totally acceptable: the level 1 supernatural ability totem shape "uses all the same rules as wild shape" but isn't actually called wild shape. Surreal's Lists of Stuff mentions-and A_soo's answer describes-many of the classes granting wild shape and its alternatives.
