/agree

Yea it was on that Wyrm. As to why I said it was unrelated. ^_^

Was still cool walking around with a ratmen lol.

Dragons and wyrms used to polymorph during T2A.

It occured most often when they were stuck behind something and couldn't directly attack their victim.

The skin of the polymorphed creatures was colourless (white) and indeed they used to have "mystic llamaherder" after their polymorph name.

From my recollection they were naked.

I say all of this from my autistic-savant-like memory of T2A.

I had been assuming that the pure white skin tone was from the Wyrm hue. Dragons also had that hue?

Dragons were white like that too, its not from the hue, I believe it was from the polymorph. I remember there ws a polymorph bug where you could get skint hat color, but I dont remember which era it was in.

I can only speak from what I've seen, in which case the one I seen was clothed like a wandering healer. It was named Mystic llama herder though.

On the issue of appearance: I just remembered where I used to see polymorphed dragons most regularly- in Wind. I would trap them behind the walls of buildings in order to kill them, and they would polymorph into evil mages. They would appear as other evil mages, wearing an evil mage robe. I might have SSs of this so I'll have a look around. I have a feeling they were a similar colour to the colour of a blade spirit's paperdoll when you cast BS and double click on it.

On the issue of polymorp & skin colour: You used to be able to change your skin colour permanently by casting incognito until you get the skincolour you like, and then casting polymorph into a human.

Cast blade spirit drag its health bar off then double click the health bar and you got a lama herding blade spirit

the white hue from polymorphing happened to players as well
cast incognito, cast polymorph, when you turn back to human your skin is white liek tribal paint, then you kill yourself, server restart, perma white skin human
dont think it was related to white wyrm at all

was way cooler before tribal paint existed

does the ingonito and poly morph still work?

It should work, but does not..... Someone should get the details and make a bug report.

You're on a freakin roll!!

Here he is, in all his pasty glory.

Derrick please get on this White Skin Bug ASAP.

I recall white wyrms polymorphing into white skin humans as posted above. Unfortunate it wasn't recorded.
