'''Soulshape''' is an [[ability]] unlocked for members of the [[Night Fae Covenant]]. It changes the player's form into that of an animal, blinks them a distance forward, and temporarily increases their movement speed. Taking action other than blinking forward again while in Soulshape removes the buff and the transformation. Players can speak with [[Lady Muunn]] in [[Heart of the Forest]] to change the available soulshape look.

Crittershapes are smaller Soulshape forms that are activated when it is used in a rest area. [[Choofa]] by the Heart of the Forest handles the Crittershapes, having options to swap forms or even deactivate the Crittershape effect.

Since the arrival of the first mortal [[soul]] to [[Ardenweald]], the [[Winter Queen]] has granted the boon of soulshaping to the souls who join her realm so that they may help tend to the forest even without a mortal body.<ref>[[The Boon of Shapes]]</ref><ref>[[Te'zan#Gossip text]]</ref> The soulshape a mortal takes mirrors the true bond they have with the wilds.<ref>''[[World of Warcraft: Grimoire of the Shadowlands and Beyond]]'', pg. 51</ref> Soulshapes are capable of returning to their original forms, as seen with [[Huln Highmountain]], who will transform in and out of his eagle soulshape as he sees fit. According to [[Ta'lora]], [[night elf]] [[wisp]]s are a type of soulshape.<ref>{{Ref WoWGrimoire|13}}</ref>
