== Trivia ==

WhenyoulearnthistalentalldemonicspellsarelearnedautomaticallyandaddedtotheDemonologytreeof the [[spellbook]]. It's shapeshifting, like [[shadowform]], and can't bedispelled.
While shapeshifted, the demon-form warlock can be [[banish]]ed. Demon-form is also susceptible to [[Turn Evil]] and grants an auto-crit on [[Exorcism]] but is immune to [[enslave demon]].

−
== Utilization ==
−
Metamorphosis can be used for [[Area of Effect|AoE]] [[Farming]] by picking up a bunch of [[Mob]]s and then using Immolation Aura, Shadowflame and Hellfire
−
−
In PvP, it's only advisable when fighting in a one-on-one situation (primarily against [[Rogues]]), as in a brawl, a big, black and horned demon is the favorite target for everyone.
−
−
Of course, Metamorphosis can also be used as a flat damage boost for 30 seconds.
−
−
An interesting fact you should notice about this is it reduces your chance to be critically hit by 6%, which is just above what you need to be uncritable by a raid boss. Coupled with the 600% armor increase and taunt it makes this an option for lock tanking bosses that primarily use spells. The lack of avoidance enhancements in addition to the fact that demon form only lasts for 30 seconds makes it somewhat dangerous to tank very hard and fast-hitting melee bosses. This can be useful against the [[Blood Prince Council]] as a range tank.

−
== Inspiration ==
−
Metamorphosis is adapted from the iconic [[demon hunter]] ability of the same name, and is visually based on [[Illidan Stormrage]]'s demon form.
−
−
The demon form does use a model extremely similar to Illidan's from the Black Temple.
