I was playing a moon druid and cast the polymorph spell on myself. Changing me into a T-Rex, causing my Int to become 2 and my Wis 12. I realized my targets had immunity to non-magical damage which is all a trex can do, so I wanted to stop concentration.
I made the check to determine my current form could not affect the creatures but when I stated I stop concentration the DM said that, as a trex, I had too low of Int to realize I had a spell I was concentrating on that was keeping me in this form. So, I was stuck as trex until the HP depleted or the spell ended.
Was my DM correct or can a polymorphed creature still choose to end concentration?

@DavidCoffron "Why" in this context is not speculative - it is about specific situation when player looses ability to decide for his character, and rules that govern that situation, if any. Lack of "why" in the rules (if that's the case) would be helpful answer, I believe. Am I right, Carl Bozeman? I agree it could be worded a bit better.

There is no intelligence limit on the rules for concentration.
Nothing in the rules dictate that a creature has to have a sufficiently high intelligence to maintain or drop concentration. In fact, there are examples of extremely low intelligence creatures fully utilizing concentration spells. See the Neothelid in Volo's Guide to Monsters:
INT
3 (-4)
[...]
Innate Spellcasting (Psionics).
[...]
At will: levitate
If the creature, who is not much smarter than a t-rex, is able to use a concentration spell like levitate, there is hardly a reason a t-rex wouldn't be able to use one to full effect as well.
Your DM may be using a houserule.
It is possible that your DM is implementing a houserule where intelligence has more of an impact than in the base game. If this is the case, he is the only one who can answer questions like why a t-rex could/would concentrate on a spell at all.

Additionally, the Polymorph spell states:

Your DM's argument is invalid
the rules for a druids polymorph state that
Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, But you retain your alignment, personality and Intelligence, wisdom and charisma scores
(emphasis mine)
this means that, even though a TRex has an Int of 2, you would have still had whatever it is in your base form, so it is more than enough to know that you should stop concentrating, and to know how to

We can definitely answer the "can a polymorphed creature end concentration on a spell", but the "why would the t-rex concentration" is only going to be speculation, and is probably not a good fit for the site.

@DavidCoffron "Why" in this context is not speculative - it is about specific situation when player looses ability to decide for his character, and rules that govern that situation, if any. Lack of "why" in the rules (if that's the case) would be helpful answer, I believe. Am I right, Carl Bozeman? I agree it could be worded a bit better.

@CarlBozeman glad to help. Now we just need someone who can edit this clarification into your question. My English skill is not enough to do it, I'm afraid.
