World of Warcraft: Forever has a lot of clever little surprises in it that players are digging up during the beta, including this one: A hidden druid shapeshift form that activates if you're wearing the five-piece Embrace of the Viper from the Wailing Caverns dungeon.

Turns out if you're a druid and get the full "of the Fang" set from Wailing Caverns, you turn into a serpent in Forever https://t.co/EJANXlsVX8September 19, 2026

This is, in my estimation, sick as hell, and I'm glad that Blizzard's continuing to sneak hidden mechanics and rule-breaking items into its reimagined Azeroth.

Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia. He made his start as a freelancer, writing for websites like Techradar, The Escapist, Dicebreaker, The Gamer, Into the Spine—and of course, PC Gamer. He'll sink his teeth into anything that looks interesting, though he has a soft spot for RPGs, soulslikes, roguelikes, deckbuilders, MMOs, and weird indie titles. He also plays a shelf load of TTRPGs in his offline time. Don't ask him what his favourite system is, he has too many.
