perculia
Everyone’s favorite shapeshifting item is a Druid, hands down. But what if you want something a little more uncommon? Perhaps you’re looking for a fun disguise to use on boss-kill screenshots, or you’re just not that interested in trolls and would rather farm something else. How’s turning into a fish sound? A huge bug? A neon rock? Maybe you just want to be surrounded in a purple swirly shield instead? Whatever you’re interested in turning into, it probably exists in-game and we have it all laid out for you.
This guide breaks it down into playable race, creature, and object disguises, as well as items that give your character special effects. We’ve further organized these items by means of acquisition and noted some items that work while mounted or shapeshifted. Not all of these items will work in every zone, but they’re all interesting.
Playable Races
Here you’ll find ways to turn into most every playable race. Some disguises even last through damage taken, making it perfect to confuse the enemy in PvP or if you really hate the available race options for your class. The majority of these disguises remain while mounted and in combat.
Buff/debuff
Проклятие ока
cast by
Капитан Халиндор
and his crew in Wetlands, temporarily turns you into an Undead. It also conveniently reveals the gender of your warlock minions.
Мучения воргенов
, acquired by looting books in
Каражан
, has a chance to briefly transform the player into a Worgen with
Злость воргена
.
Players that are not dwarves, gnomes, or humans will find themselves disguised as one upon entering
Старые предгорья Хилсбрада
and
Очищение Стратхольма
for historical purposes. The disguised facial features are based on the player's original attributes.
Нечистый ворген из стаи Ночной Погибели
has a chance to infect the player with
Клеймо воргенов
, a one-minute debuff that transforms the player into a Worgen.
Friendly NPCs
Худое варево
is left behind by
Пивовар из клана Черного Железа
in the bar in
Глубины Черной горы
. Start talking to him, and he excitedly talks about his new recipe. Eventually, he drinks too much of it and passes out, dropping the
Кружка худого варева
. This transforms you into a Dark Iron Dwarf for one hour, with unique armor based on your class. Unfortunately, it looks like a recent patch temporarily broke this dialogue, but GMs claim it will be fixed soon.
Hostile NPCs
Сфера син'дорай
drops from any of the bosses in Heroic
Терраса Магистров
. It transforms you into a blood elf, yet you retain your unique armor. Your disguised facial features are based on your own character’s—so head to the barbershop if you’re looking for a special blood-elf transformation.
Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat
is a 100% drop from
Углик Черносерд
, a rare-spawn flamboyant gnome pirate ghost in Vash’jir. He has a very high opinion of himself, saying "Feast ye eyes upon the dreadful, clever, all-powerfull, hate-filled, sword-swignin', face-punchin', insult-flingin', and all around handsome, BURGY BLACKHEART." He’s not difficult at all to kill at 85 and if you have low-levels summoned in your party, they can loot the hat for fun. This item has no cooldown and instantly turns you into a spectral pirate gnome when equipped.
Professions
Антиперенаправляющий излучатель
, made by engineers, turns the target into a Leper Gnome. It only lasts for 12 seconds and has five charges, but the materials required to make more aren’t too bad. Anyone, regardless of their professions, can use it too.
Загадочное острое лакомство
turns you into a human ninja wearing a unique armor set or a pirate. It requires
Загадочная рыба
which can be fished in Northern Barrens or Wailing Caverns. The recipe, which used to be an extremely rare world drop, has had its droprate buffed in Cataclysm.
Пространственный проходчик - Зона 52
and
Сверхбезопасный транспортер на станцию Тошли
have a chance to transform the engineer into one of the following for an hour: male dwarf, female draenei, female gnome, male night elf, female orc, male tauren, male troll, female blood elf. You keep your armor but receive unique facial details. This debuff lasts through death but does not override druid shapeshifts.
Quest
Гордость Гномрегана
and
Гордость Черного Копья
were quest rewards for completing the faction-specific pre-Cataclysm launch events. They turn you into a gnome/troll respectively but sadly, they’re not available in-game anymore. However, many players forgot about these items soon after acquiring them because they were so common. The disguises last for 30 minutes, on a 4 hour cooldown, and work while mounted.
Выцветшая шляпа волшебника
is the Horde-only reward for completing
Прощай, рыбка
, the final quest in Azshara. This buff persists through combat, lasts 30 minutes, and has a 30 minute cooldown—but you must keep the hat on to keep the disguise. Like the
Сфера обмана
, you receive a complete new look, armor set, and animations while disguised, but unlike the
Orb of Deception
, you have a huge variety of random disguises—16 possible options! Alliance, do not faction-change to complete this quest, as it will disappear when you race change back.
Благоволение Мурадина
, a BoE reward from the Shadowmourne quest
Плач Мурадина
, turns you into a frost dwarf for 10 minutes. Random chance to get one of three hair colors.
Vendor
Заколдованный медальон Калифы
is available for 5,000g from
Текс Завихток
, a goblin mage in Archmage Xylem’s tower in Azshara. The disguise lasts 30 mintes and through combat, on a 15 minute cooldown. It’s perfect for using in raids if you dislike how your character looks. Kalytha also has a bit of interesting lore behind her—Horde players learn that she, and her fellow mages, were heroes during the Sundering, using their magic to protect ley-lines and hold off the attacks of the Burning Legion.
Железная походная фляга
is sold by
Олут Пивобрюх
and
Рорк Остробород
in the Storm Peaks for the low price of 10
Реликвия Ульдуара
. It transforms you into a dark blue iron dwarf, yet you keep your own weapons. Disguise cannot be kept while mounted and you can only buy it after completing
Древние реликвии
. If you use it and then pop the
Orb of the Sin'dorei
, you will turn into a male blood elf. It’s needed for the Ulduar achievement
Я на твоей стороне (25 игроков)
. Since using this item will classify you as a male character, popping another disguise as an Iron Dwarf will turn you into that option's male character model even if you are a female.
Жаровня танцующего пламени
turns you into a flaming dancing female Draenei. It costs 350
Пылающий цвет
from festival vendors. As long as you stay near the Brazier, you can mount up.
World drop
The
Orb of Deception
is the classic shapeshifting trinket. It’s a world drop from vanilla mobs and is BoE, still fetching a hefty price on the AH. It turns you into a member of the opposing faction complete with low-level armor. Although the item has been in the game for ages, it’s been updated to allow transformations for newer races.
Non-playable Races/Creatures
There are many disguises that let you turn into unplayable races and creatures as well, such as wolves, naga, and snakes. Not many of these items work while mounted, but there’s something absurd here for everyone!
Buffs/debuffs
Изначальное Благословение
has a small chance to proc and turn the player into a tiger when using both
Когти Текала
and
Когти Арлокк
in combat. Unfortunately, these items are no longer obtainable but still work if you held onto them.
Иллюзия Драконьей Пасти
turns you into an Orc in Netherwing Ledge and
Сделка с Лок'лирой
into a War-Maiden by Brunnhildar Village, if you have completed their relevant questlines.
Upon obtaining 5 stacks of
Оскверненная кровь
from fighting various demons around Desolace, you will get
Вдохновение Скверны
and turn into a demon for one minute. Works on pets as well--come look like a demo warlock.
Dalaran
Волшебный пожиратель
is a magical food that can turn you into many things: basilisk, roach, locust, whelp, or wisp. You will be silenced with
Дикая магия
for 45 seconds upon transformation but will gain a speed boost. The food also has a chance of granting you a random stat buff. It can be fished up from the Sewers.
Эликсир Клоаки
, a clickable vial that spawns randomly around the Underbelly, can do one of three things: turn all NPCs into mages, transform the user into a Flying Wasp, or into a Hungry Tuskarr with +50 fishing skill. The Flying Wasp only lasts in the Underbelly and the Tuskarr in Dalaran. Drinking the potions has no cooldown.
Минигоб Манабонк
impishly turns players into sheep in Dalaran. Later, you’ll find a letter from him in the mail containing
Инструмент обмана
, a one-time only wand that polymorphs the target and only works in the city.
Friendly NPC
Бом'бей
, a witch doctor in
Дуротар
, casts
Вуду
on players who have completed his quests. He offers several options and transformations: a frog, snakes, ghost, chicken, turning drunk, character enlargement, and being thrown into the air.
During
Тыквовин
, players can trick-or-treat at all Innkeepers. They will either receive a
Сумка с лакомствами
with masks and
magical wands
inside, or will be transformed into a critter as a punishment.
Hostile NPCs
Статуэтка затерянного во времени
is a rare drop from
Терокк
, a boss that can be summoned every 15 minutes provided you have completed a lengthy quest chain in Skettis. The disguise lasts 5 minutes and is on a 30 minute CD. Players find themselves transformed into one of three possible arkoaa appearances and can do a special dance, but cannot mount up.
Ярость Кузни Гнева
drops from trash in Blackwing Descent. It's a decent trinket for some dps classes and the use effect transforms you into a dragon.
Воля Смертоносного
was one of the most coveted items in ICC but it also has a fun side-effect: the procs turned the wearer into a variety of Northrend races for 30 seconds, some of which even had dance animations. Players were turned into Vrykul, Iron Dwarves, and Taunka, each with distinct casting animations. You could even mount up in Taunka form too.
Professions
Фиал песков
is crafted by Alchemists who have learned the recipe from
Канопа
. This item transforms the player into a two-seater dragon. The materials required are quite expensive but there’s now a special achievement for obtaining one—it’s the
Механоцикл
of Cataclysm.
Книга ритуалов новолуния
is an offhand from
Начертание
that transforms the wearer into a wolf. The
Технология: книга ритуалов новолуния
drops from Silverbrook mobs in
Седые холмы
—fitting for a werewolf. Hunters using a wolf pet with this offhand equipped look awesome.
Гномский полюсный птицефикатор
is intended to turn your target into a chicken--however, there's a small chance it can malfunction and turn you into one instead! Requires
Гном-инженер
ing to equip.
The Azerothian teleporters,
Пространственный проходчик - Круговзор
and
Сверхбезопасный транспортер в Прибамбасск
, have a small chance to malfunction with
Неисправность транспортера
. This quickly transforms the player into a series of fun creatures, including troggs and murlocs. There is also a small chance you will get
Неисправность транспортера
and be turned into a chicken at Toshley's Station.
Кости перерождения
and
Амулет-огонек
are rare Night Elf archaeology projects that turn you into a naga and wisp respectively. They don’t last very long but look unique.
Благословение древнего бога
is a Nerbuian solve that turns you temporarily into a Qiraji bug.
Quest
Крючок мастера-рыболова
is a reward for winning the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Contest and turning in
Главный приз
. To win the contest, you need to be the first person to fish up and turn in 40
Крапчатая вкуснорыба
located all around the zone. This item turns you into a fish that is useful for speedy underwater transportation.
Гнев Дракона, вечный покой Таресгосы
transforms the caster into a blue dragon--it's an epic legendary quest chain, but the weapon is specifically from
Посох легенд
.
Броня огров Гордока
is the new way to acquire
Броня огров Гордока
from the Tribute Run in
Забытый город
. Turn into a dancing Gor’dok ogre. The one catch is that the item is unique, but can be mailed—so give some to all of your friends.
Vendor
Эликсир Гогельмогеля
is sold by
Синь Гогельмогель
and
Брызь Гогельмогель
in Tanaris. This is one of the oldest shapeshifting items in the game. It used to require a fun questline, but that’s been removed in Cataclysm. You have a chance to turn into a skeleton, shrink, or gain a slowfall buff.
Кувшин гадости
, sold by
Танак
for 3 gold at Revered reputation with the
Племя Бешеного Сердца
, transforms into
Кувшин перебродившей гадости
after a week. Inside is a chance to get
Варево Бешеного Сердца
, which transforms you into a Frenzyheart. 5 mintutes with a 30 minute cooldown. Cannot mount up but lasts through damage taken.
Сфера темного дракончика
is sold by
Интендант культа Змея
in
Острогорье
. It turns you into a dark whelp. While it only has three charges, you can keep returning to the vendor to buy more. To initially access the vendor, you will have to complete the quest chain starting from
Встреча в пещере Крыла Тьмы
.
Посох Меха и Когтя
is sold by
Мелиош
. This turns you into a Furbolg, in case you missed picking this up from the old Ashenvale quest chain in vanilla! Requires exalted with
Древобрюхи
.
Резной огрский идол
is redeemed from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game and works in combat.
Костюм мурлока
is obtained by redeeming the code from Blizzcon 2007 to either
Зас'Тиш
or
Рансин Доннер
.
World Drop
Сфера сверхобезьяны
is a Northrend world BoP drop. It turns you into a monkey rolling around in a neon purple ball—a tribute to the game Super Monkey Ball. The purple orb remains for shapeshifted druids in combat. If you use another disguise with this trinket activated, you will turn into that disguise and keep the purple ball.
Character Effects
These items preserve the basic appearance of your character, but with added twists—size changes, transparency, cool NPCs following you around. They’re great to use for screenshots when you want people to know who ‘you’ are but also to stand out. Don’t forget to use your own aresenal of spells for extra effects.
Drops
Огненная вода Зимней Спячки
is a zone-wide drop from Winterspring that enlarges your character. This was removed for several patches, but is now back in game in 4.3.
Огненная вода Новолуния
does the same thing; it's from
Запечатанный ящик
fished up by the Darkmoon Faire.
Перстень Повелителя Драконов
drops from
Властитель Змейталак
. It puts a swirly shield around the user—a purple cosmetic version of
Щит земли
, which lasts for 30 minutes or until 500 damage is taken.
Бегун-ядро
summons a cannon that fires at enemies. It drops from
Вилли Разбивающий Надежды
in Stratholme.
Сумка Шести Демонов
, a low-level world BoE, does a variety of crazy things—whirlwinds, explodes, summons a Felhunter, and much more.
Don Carlos' Famous Hat
is a 100% drop from
Дон Карлос
on heroic difficulty in
Old Hillsbrad Foothills
. It summons a coyote. He patrols the main road so it's possible just to zone in and kill him for the hat.
There are two trinkets that summon tentacles in game:
Безжизненное щупальце К'Туна
and
Ослабшая хватка Йогг-Сарона
. These drop from
К'Тун
and
Йогг-Сарон
respectively. They summon a tentacle that looks like one of the tentacle adds in the actual encounter. They do hardly any damage, but flop around with neat animations.
Драконий зов
, a drop from Sunken Temple, has a chance to summon an emerald whelpling on hit. There are some other old-world items that have a chance on hit to summon quirky things:
Черный клинок Шахрама
from
Генерал Драккисат
summons a demon and
Осколок Аззинота
from
Иллидан Ярость Бури
summons green fire elementals.
Illidan
also can drop
Череп Гул'дана
which trails green fire behind your character's feet. There's similar TCG items:

for fel-fire and
Путь Кенария
for flowers.
Сандалии лета
will also set your feet on fire.

Зелье иллюзии
is a Cata-level
Alchemy
recipe that transforms the user into someone in very close proximity to them, including enemy players.
Масло окаменения
is an
Alchemy
recipe that freezes you in place and gives you a golden hue. It works on flying mounts and mid-air actions, resulting in hilarious tableaux.
Карломасло
from
Alchemy
shrinks you, depending on how many you’ve had to drink. If you drink too many, you turn into a pygmy gnome.
Archaeology
has several items that result in cool character modifications:
Подвеска нашествия скарабеев
creates a flash of lightning and an army of bugs when used,
Свидетельство визита Наару
creates a dramatic scene in the background,
Чаша Горных королей
spawns a set of sword dancers that perform for you,
Статуэтки женщины-друида и мужчины-жреца
creates a bright green beam that follows you around,
Врайкульский рог для вина
enlarges your character and gives them an ugly Northrend-era hat, and
Зеркало души высокорожденных
creates a temporary mirror image of your character.
Детская приправа
, a reward from the Northrend cooking dailies, temporarily decreases the size of your target by 50%. Works on some bosses for extra hilarity.
Two Northrend-era feasts change the size of the player:
Пир для карликов
shrinks the player by 30% and
Пир на весь мир
increases the size of the player.
There are several engineering malfunctions from using the BC-era transporters that last for an hour: some shrink or enlarge your character, while
Расщепление души: Добро
gives a golden hue and
Расщепление души: Зло!
gives a shadowy effect. These last through death and work while mounted.
Quest
Клобук Пеплоуста
, a quest item for
Коварство Пеплоустов
is one of the rare disguises that works on shapeshifted druids, although it lasts for an hour and only works in Tempest Keep. It turns the wearer into a member of the Broken, a similar race to the Draenei.
Гербовая накидка Светоносного
is a BoE reward from the Shadowmourne quest
Искупление Утера Светоносного
. Using the tabard grants the wearer
Гербовая накидка Светоносного
, a shiny golden light that lasts for 5 minutes.
Тыквовинская конфета
is a reward from numerous
Hallow’s End
quests. They grant one of four buffs:
Тыквовинские сладости
which turns you large and orange,
Тыквовинские сладости
into a skeleton with underwater breathing,
Тыквовинские сладости
into a pirate, and
Тыквовинские сладости
into a levitated non-combat spectral ghost. These treats only last for 14 days, so be wise about using them!
Rainbow Generator
makes your character shoot rainbows; it’s a reward from
Открыть им глаза
in Felwood.
Санитарная сумка Гаса
makes a nurse appear and it’s a reward from
Колоссопид
.
Рог предателя
summons a spectral Tauren and comes from
Рог предателя
.
Игрушечная ветряная мельница
, a play on
Don Quixote
, summons a lance and comes from
Баллада о Максимилиане

Молодое деревце Дуайера
which throws a large tree, and

Четки Света
, from
Архиепископ Бенедикт
in Hour of Twilight, has an on use effect that makes you kneel in place for 60 seconds channeling
Четки Света
, as you glow golden. Great for paladins.
Нечестивый дар повелителя демонов
, from Mannoroth in Well of Eternity, has an on use effect that turns your character shadowy purple with glowing fel green fire--reminiscent of Illidan's transformation at the end of the encounter.
Брошь Варо'тена
, from Mannoroth in Well of Eternity, has an on use effect that shoots out fiery tendrils from the user's weapon, and can chain between targets.
Zoning into Well of Eternity will buff all non-Night Elves with
Временная иллюзия
--turning them into Night Elves for the duration of this historical dungeon.
Rogues that have completed all steps of the legendary chain will acquire
Клыки отца
--that has an on use effect of unfurling wings and falling slowly to the ground.
Objects
You can even turn into inanimate objects. There are numerous quest-related items that temporarily turn you into objects as well, but the problem is that they only work when you’re in a very specific sub-zone and you lose the item once the quest is turned in.
Древний янтарь
, a Fossil archaeology rare added in 4.1, shrinks the player and entraps them in a block of neon orange glass. This block lasts through combat and damage.
Дарующее жизнь семя
are looted by Herbalists as they pick flowers. When consumed, it transforms the player into a common flower, renames them, and provides a quick supply of health and mana. People have used these in PvP to look hidden in the background.
The
Набор для переодевания Зимнего Покрова
, a holiday present for completing
Stolen Winter Veil Treats
, turns the user into a snowman with the aid of a
Снежок
.
