The druid's most notable ability is shapeshifting into different forms. All the forms are obtained from the trainer (or from spending talent points) and are no longer obtained with quests.

General info about shapeshifting:

Feral Form appearance

Jasmia, Nature's Chosen, a worgen druid.

Each race has a distinct model for its Bear and Cat forms, and there are five different textures for each model. Beginning in Shadowlands, druids can change their design at any time by visiting a barbershop and customizing their forms individually. Previously, beginning in Wrath of the Lich King (patch 3.2.0), the skin used was based upon the hair color of the druid (skin color in the case of tauren), as illustrated in charts below. Before Wrath, form appearance was determined solely by race, with a single appearance each for night elves and tauren.
