→General Tips for Beast Forms
* Spirit Fox can use [[Illusive Guise]] to disguise themselves in a humanoid projection for a short time. This allows them to interact with Animal Hating NPCs.
; Druid Forms
* [[Druid]]s can magically project themselves as [[Deer]], as well as a variety of birds including [[Raven Form|Raven]] and [[Mallard Form|Mallard]]. However, these are NOT [[Beast Forms]].

=== Familiar's Recall ===
=== General Tips for Beast Forms ===
* It is advised that new characters wait to become a [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]], especially a [[Lycanthropy|Lycanthrope]], until they have explored [[Serbule]], [[Serbule Hills]], and [[Eltibule]]. For characters with low-level Combat Skills, transforming into a [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] and loosing losing access to many shopkeepers and other services can be a surprise. Until ''{{[[favor}}'' ]] is built up with NPC Shopkeepers that speak to animals, income and progress will likely temporarily plummet.
* If a [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] sounds fun to try, it may be wise to obtain a method of removing the form before transformation. If an unprepared character drinks a {{Item|Spider Juice}}, they will need to fight their way through the entire [[Serbule Crypt]] to reach the NPC selling the {{Item|Un-Spider Juice}}... or rely on a helpful adventurer.
* Newly transformed [[Beast Forms]] may have a surplus of armor after exploring a dungeon, as they no longer have access to [[Joeh]] as a shopkeeper. The Orc merchant [[Roshun the Traitor]], living in a building near the [[Eltibule]] portal, speaks with animals and buys equipment.
* Although most storage-offering NPCs in [[Serbule ]] shun animals, storage spaces unlocked on them while in humanoid form can be accessed from the bookshelf in the building between [[Marna]] and [[Hulon]]'s shops. (Note: This may change in the future). * Using the associated Combat Skill for a [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] is not required. A [[Cow]]-form character could have [[Psychology]] and [[Mentalism]] as its active skills.
== Trivia ==
* [[Beast Forms]] (and specifically Cow at first), were at first 'a fluke' by the Developers.
