Metamorphosis (warlock ability)

Metamorphosis is a Demonology warlock ability, available at level 10.

• Demonic Leap (level 12)
• Touch of Chaos (level 25)
• Chaos Wave (level 79)

• Considered shapeshifting, like Shadowform, and can't be dispelled.
• Demon-form is susceptible to Turn Evil and grants an auto-crit on Exorcism but is immune to Enslave Demon and banish.
• Metamorphosis also causes the warlock to speak Demonic instead of their normal language.
• Metamorphosis can be used for AoE grinding due to Immolation Aura (warlock ability).
• Metamorphosis is considered [form:2] in macros.
• In an earlier version of the ability, warlocks in demon form could be enslaved.
• Metamorphosis used to have a ranged white damage attack, commonly referred to as a "melee attack." It was removed in patch 5.1 due to a bug involving wands and accidental triggering of Shoot.
• Metamorphosis is adapted from the iconic Warcraft III Demon Hunter ability of the same name and is visually based on Illidan Stormrage's demon form, using a model extremely similar to Illidan's. It was later removed from warlocks with the introduction of the demon hunter class.
• Even though the ability was removed from player warlocks, many mobs such as Kanrethad Ebonlocke, Loramus the Defiled and the Gorebound Felcasters still possess it. Warlock followers like Lamontague Ford can also possess it.
