Night Fae Soulshapes Guide

Soulshape is the signature ability of the Night Fae Covenant in Shadowlands. It transforms you into an animal, increases your movement speed and lets you blink forward a short distance when activated again. While in a rested area, you can stay in your Soulshape indefinitely.

In this guide we cover how to collect Soulshapes and Crittershapes, which unlock a range of forms for your Soulshape ability in the Shadowlands and the Seed of Renewed Souls toy in other zones. Once you've unlocked new forms, you can speak with Lady Muunn and Choofa in the Heart of the Forest to change your Soulshape appearance.

Recommended Addons

We recommend the following addons to help with collecting Soulshapes and Crittershapes. Please note that the forms are not account-wide, so collecting them should be done only on your main characters.

HandyNotes - baseline addon that is required for any HandyNotes plugin
HandyNotes: Shadowlands - adds locations and lists rewards for rare mobs and treasures
Manuscripts Journal - add a collection tab for Soulshape appearances
