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
Maledizione dell'Occhio
cast by
Capitano Halyndor
and his crew in Wetlands, temporarily turns you into an Undead. It also conveniently reveals the gender of your warlock minions.
Tormento del Worgen
, acquired by looting books in
Karazhan
, has a chance to briefly transform the player into a Worgen with
Perfidia del Worgen
.
Players that are not dwarves, gnomes, or humans will find themselves disguised as one upon entering
Passato di Colletorto
and
Epurazione di Stratholme
for historical purposes. The disguised facial features are based on the player's original attributes.
Corrotto Cuparovina
has a chance to infect the player with
Corruzione dei Worgen
, a one-minute debuff that transforms the player into a Worgen.
Friendly NPCs
Birra Nera
is left behind by
Birraio Ferroscuro
in the bar in
Sotterranei di Roccianera
. Start talking to him, and he excitedly talks about his new recipe. Eventually, he drinks too much of it and passes out, dropping the
Boccale di Birra Nera
. 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
Globo dei Sin'dorei
drops from any of the bosses in Heroic
Terrazza dei Magisteri
. 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
Burgy Cuornero
, 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
Raggio Ricombinante
, 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.
Pesce Mutante all'Acquapazza
turns you into a human ninja wearing a unique armor set or a pirate. It requires
Pesce Mutante
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.
Squarciatore Dimensionale: Area 52
and
Teletrasporto Ultrasicuro: Stazione di Toshley
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
Orgoglio di Gnomeregan
and
Orgoglio dei Lanciascura
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.
Cappello Magico Sbiadito
is the Horde-only reward for completing
Addio, piccola creatura
, 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
Globo dell'Inganno
, 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.
Dono di Muradin
, a BoE reward from the Shadowmourne quest
Il lamento di Muradin
, turns you into a frost dwarf for 10 minutes. Random chance to get one of three hair colors.
Vendor
Medaglione Infestato di Kalytha
is available for 5,000g from
Tex Vortaspira
, 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.
Tonico dello Stivale di Ferro
is sold by
Olut Birramara
and
Rork Mentoaguzzo
in the Storm Peaks for the low price of 10
Reliquia di Ulduar
. 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
Antiche reliquie
. 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
Sono dalla tua parte! (25)
. 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.
Braciere delle Fiamme Danzanti
turns you into a flaming dancing female Draenei. It costs 350
Fiore Bruciante
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
Benedizione Primordiale
has a small chance to proc and turn the player into a tiger when using both
Morsa di Thekal
and
Morsa di Arlokk
in combat. Unfortunately, these items are no longer obtainable but still work if you held onto them.
Illusione delle Fauci di Drago
turns you into an Orc in Netherwing Ledge and
Accordo di Lok'lira
into a War-Maiden by Brunnhildar Village, if you have completed their relevant questlines.
Upon obtaining 5 stacks of
Vilsangue
from fighting various demons around Desolace, you will get
Vilinfusione
and turn into a demon for one minute. Works on pets as well--come look like a demo warlock.
Dalaran
Pesce Magico
is a magical food that can turn you into many things: basilisk, roach, locust, whelp, or wisp. You will be silenced with
Magia Selvaggia
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.
Elisir dei Sotterranei
, 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.
Minigob Manabotta
impishly turns players into sheep in Dalaran. Later, you’ll find a letter from him in the mail containing
Combina Pasticci
, a one-time only wand that polymorphs the target and only works in the city.
Friendly NPC
Bom'bay
, a witch doctor in
Durotar
, casts
Vudù
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
Veglia delle Ombre
, players can trick-or-treat at all Innkeepers. They will either receive a
Borsa di Dolcetti
with masks and
magical wands
inside, or will be transformed into a critter as a punishment.
Hostile NPCs
Statuetta Preistorica
is a rare drop from
Terokk
, 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.
Furia di Forgiarabbia
drops from trash in Blackwing Descent. It's a decent trinket for some dps classes and the use effect transforms you into a dragon.
Volontà dell'Araldo della Morte
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
Fiala delle Sabbie
is crafted by Alchemists who have learned the recipe from
Vaso Canopo
. 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
Meccanomoto
of Cataclysm.
Rituali della Luna Nuova
is an offhand from
Runografia
that transforms the wearer into a wolf. The
Tecnica: Rituali della Luna Nuova
drops from Silverbrook mobs in
Colli Bradi
—fitting for a werewolf. Hunters using a wolf pet with this offhand equipped look awesome.
Pollizzatore Gnomesco
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
Ingegneria degli Gnomi
ing to equip.
The Azerothian teleporters,
Squarciatore Dimensionale: Lungavista
and
Teletrasporto Ultrasicuro: Meccania
, have a small chance to malfunction with
Trasportatore Malfunzionante
. This quickly transforms the player into a series of fun creatures, including troggs and murlocs. There is also a small chance you will get
Trasportatore Malfunzionante
and be turned into a chicken at Toshley's Station.
Ossa della Trasformazione
and
Amuleto del Fuoco Fatuo
are rare Night Elf archaeology projects that turn you into a naga and wisp respectively. They don’t last very long but look unique.
Benedizione del Dio Antico
is a Nerbuian solve that turns you temporarily into a Qiraji bug.
Quest
Amo del Maestro Pescatore
is a reward for winning the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Contest and turning in
Gran premio
. To win the contest, you need to be the first person to fish up and turn in 40
Spigola Screziata
located all around the zone. This item turns you into a fish that is useful for speedy underwater transportation.
Drachira, Requie di Tarecgosa
transforms the caster into a blue dragon--it's an epic legendary quest chain, but the weapon is specifically from
Roba da leggende
.
Il completo da Ogre Gordok
is the new way to acquire
Completo da Ogre Gordok
from the Tribute Run in
Maglio Infausto
. 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
Elisir di Granstrippo
is sold by
Marin Granstrippo
and
Sprizzy Granstrippo
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.
Vaso Disgustoso
, sold by
Tanak
for 3 gold at Revered reputation with the
Tribù dei Cuorferoce
, transforms into
Vaso Disgustoso Stagionato
after a week. Inside is a chance to get
Birra dei Cuorferoce
, which transforms you into a Frenzyheart. 5 mintutes with a 30 minute cooldown. Cannot mount up but lasts through damage taken.
Globo del Draghetto Nero
is sold by
Fornitore del Culto dei Dragoni
in
Montagne Spinaguzza
. 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
Incontro alla Congrega dell'Ala Nera
.
Bastone con Pelliccia e Artigli
is sold by
Meilosh
. This turns you into a Furbolg, in case you missed picking this up from the old Ashenvale quest chain in vanilla! Requires exalted with
Rifugio dei Mordilegno
.
Idolo di Ogre Scolpito
is redeemed from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game and works in combat.
Travestimento da Murloc
is obtained by redeeming the code from Blizzcon 2007 to either
Zas'tysh
or
Ransin Donner
.
World Drop
Sfera della Super Scimmia
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
Corroborante dei Freddinverno
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.
Corroborante di Lunacupa
does the same thing; it's from
Cassa Sigillata
fished up by the Darkmoon Faire.
Marchio del Signore dei Draghi
drops from
Supremo Dragthalak
. It puts a swirly shield around the user—a purple cosmetic version of
Scudo di Terra
, which lasts for 30 minutes or until 500 damage is taken.
Cannone Tascabile
summons a cannon that fires at enemies. It drops from
Willey Frangifede
in Stratholme.
Sacca dei Sei Demoni
, 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
Don Carlos
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:
Tentacolo Dominato di C'thun
and
Chele Dominate di Yogg-Saron
. These drop from
C'thun
and
Yogg-Saron
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.
Spada della Chiamata del Draghetto
, 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:
Lama Nera di Shahram
from
Generale Drakkisath
summons a demon and
Frammento di Azzinoth
from
Illidan Grantempesta
summons green fire elementals.
Illidan
also can drop
Teschio di Gul'dan
which trails green fire behind your character's feet. There's similar TCG items:
Sentiero di Illidan
for fel-fire and
Sentiero di Cenarius
for flowers.
Grancalzari dell'Estate
will also set your feet on fire.
Profession
Olio Etereo
is an
Alchimia
recipe requiring 375 skill to learn. It turns the user translucent for 5 minutes.
Pozione dell'Illusione
is a Cata-level
Alchemy
recipe that transforms the user into someone in very close proximity to them, including enemy players.
Olio Pietrificante
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.
Olio di Lampreda Pigmea
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:
Pendente dello Sciame di Scarabei
creates a flash of lightning and an army of bugs when used,
Arrivo dei Naaru
creates a dramatic scene in the background,
Calice dei Re della Montagna
spawns a set of sword dancers that perform for you,
Coppia di Statue di Druida e Sacerdote
creates a bright green beam that follows you around,
Corno per Libagioni dei Vrykul
enlarges your character and gives them an ugly Northrend-era hat, and
Specchio dell'Anima degli Alti Nobili
creates a temporary mirror image of your character.
Minispezia
, 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:
Piccola Grigliata Mari e Monti
shrinks the player by 30% and
Grigliata Mista
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
Scissione dell'Anima: Bontà
gives a golden hue and
Scissione dell'Anima: Malvagità!
gives a shadowy effect. These last through death and work while mounted.
Quest
Cappuccio dei Linguamorta
, a quest item for
Lo stratagemma dei Linguamorta
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.
Insegna dell'Araldo della Luce
is a BoE reward from the Shadowmourne quest
La redenzione dell'Araldo della Luce
. Using the tabard grants the wearer
Insegna dell'Araldo della Luce
, a shiny golden light that lasts for 5 minutes.
Dolcetto alla Zucca della Veglia delle Ombre
is a reward from numerous
Hallow’s End
quests. They grant one of four buffs:
Caramella della Veglia delle Ombre
which turns you large and orange,
Caramella della Veglia delle Ombre
into a skeleton with underwater breathing,
Caramella della Veglia delle Ombre
into a pirate, and
Caramella della Veglia delle Ombre
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
Imp-auriti
in Felwood.
Kit di Primo Soccorso di Gus
makes a nurse appear and it’s a reward from
Scorpiodonte
.
Corno del Traditore
summons a spectral Tauren and comes from
Corno del traditore
.
Giostra Portatile
, a play on
Don Quixote
, summons a lance and comes from
La ballata di Maximillian
.
Riduttore di Chiavetorta
a reward from the hilarious quest
Il giorno in cui arrivò Alamorte: ciò che accadde davvero

Patch 4.2

Riempire il Pozzo Lunare
, sells
Calice di Pozzo Lunare
which summons a moonwell, and
Fiala di Pozzo Lunare
, which summons splashing water.
Varlan Altobosco
, accessible after completing
Richiamo degli Antichi
, sells
Tronco di Dwyre
which throws a large tree, and
Richiamo di Mylune
, which summons flowers and butterflies at your feet.
Damek Selvabarba
, accessible after completing
Armamenti aggiuntivi
, sells
Palla di Fuoco Magnetica di Ricket
which makes your character glow orange.
Rosario della Luce
, from
Arcivescovo Benedictus
in Hour of Twilight, has an on use effect that makes you kneel in place for 60 seconds channeling
Rosario della Luce
, as you glow golden. Great for paladins.
Dono Infetto del Signore dei Demoni
, 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.
Spilla di Varo'then
, 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
Illusione Temporale
--turning them into Night Elves for the duration of this historical dungeon.
Rogues that have completed all steps of the legendary chain will acquire
Zanne del Progenitore
--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.
Ambra Antica
, 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.
Seme Vitale
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
Travestimento di Grande Inverno
, a holiday present for completing
Stolen Winter Veil Treats
, turns the user into a snowman with the aid of a
Palla di Neve
.
