=== Disadvantages ===Individuals who have recently transformed into one of the [[Beast Forms]] will find themselves unable to speak with most NPCs in [[Animal Town]] until 180 real-world minutes have been played.

=== General tips regarding playing in an Animal Form ===
For general advice, avoid playing as an animal unless absolutely certain, and after you have explored zones such as Serbule and Etilbule as a human, and gotten at least some storage space, NPC favors done, and gotten used to the general feel of the game. Because starting off as an Animal can be hard or trying for a new player.
Be aware that the Animal Forms stack. If you are a cow, and drink a [[Deer Juice]] potion, you will appear to be a Deer. However you are also still cursed as a Cow. So after drinking an Un-Deer Juice, you will not be in human form, but will be a Cow again.
When just starting animal say something in Nearby chat every 5 min or so. That way you will get exp in your [[Beast Speech]], and won't bother people in Global. You can also set up a new chat-channel with a unique name and use that as a private channel to randomly type in, to level up Beast Speech.
To (some) animals Joeh will not talk. Thus causing a problem for those players when trying to sell gear loot-drops. Please know that [[Roshun the Traitor]] talks to animals and also buys gear.
Storage unlocked in Serbule (from Joeh, Ivyn or Marna) will seem to be unavailable to animals since those NPC's wont talk to them. That storage can be accessed (at least as of the moment this is written) through the Bookshelf (between Marna's and Hulon's house).
3-sylabe word of powers include ones that will grant you illusion, making you look like elf for 2 min. can be helpfull when talking to NPCs. Note that Spiders can learn a spell Illusion (that consumes a moonstone) to take human form for some minutes.
You definately should start working on favor in [[Animal Town]] asap, especialy if you are full time animal (eg - not wolf)
[[Jumper]], [[Raul]] and [[Norbert]] in [[Sun Vale]]'s [[Animal Town]] offers [[Storage]] only for players in animal form.

=== Beast Skills ===
==== Beast Speech ====
One of the disadvantages of becoming a [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] is [[Beast Speech]]. When the skill is low, random words spoken in chat will be replaced by an animal sound of the same length. For example, a cow sending "''I need help, can you meet me at the Serbule Well''" might be sent as "''I moooo moooo, can moo meet me at the moooooooo moooo?''", which is rather inconvenient! The words replaced are random, and as Beast Speech is leveled, the frequency of swapped words is reduced dramatically.
* [[Spirit Fox]] are not afflicted with [[Beast Speech]], as their transformation results is something not-quite a physical form.

As an animal, you no longer have the ability to use skills that require handheld weapons, such as [[Sword]], [[Fire Magic]], or [[Shield]].

==== Animal-Specific Equipment ====
Most [[Beast Forms]] have armor or equipment that can only be worn by that form. Usually, this includes [[Racial Jewelry]], however some forms have armor that changes them visually. Check individual pages of the [[Beast Forms]] for complete lists of their special equipment.
* [[Cow]]s have access to crafted Champron (headwear) & Barding(chest armor), which gives them the appearance of an armored cow.
* [[Deer]] can equip Alicorns such as {{Item|Greenberg's Horn}}, which add a centered horn to their forehead.
* [[Spider]]s can wear crafted Spider Casings, which can change their carapace color if Decent quality or better.
* [[Pig]]s can wear Porkpie Hats created through [[Tailoring]].
* [[Rabbit]] - No visual equipment.
* [[Giant Bat]]s can equip Witch Hats crafted through [[Tailoring]].
* [[Lycanthropy]] afflicted characters can wear a complete set of five armor pieces while in wolf form. This armor is crafted through [[Blacksmithing]].
* [[Spirit Fox]] - No visual equipment.
=== Animal Town ===
[[Animal Town]] is a hidden refuge in [[Sun Vale]] populated by various species of talking animals. Some of the residents are [[Awakened]], while others are were-creatures, or were granted intelligence by unknown methods. Humans, Rakshasa, Orcs, Fairies, and Elves are forbidden from entering the town, and will be forcibly removed by the deadly [[Summoned Guardian]]s.
