The True Doubleagent: Player Stuck as Pandaren After Race Changing to Tauren

We have a case of mistaken… race? A player managed to get stuck in their Pandaren body after the race change to Tauren fully went through!

The Tale of a Pandaren With War Stomp

Whitechapel_Charlie came upon a very curious bug. After race changing their Pandaren over to a Tauren, the change went through… partially. What they ended up with is an amalgam of the two races. In the character gear screen, it’s a Tauren. In-game it’s a Pandadren. But the clincher is the spell book, as the racial abilities are all Tauren!

That’s right, we have War Stomp iconWar Stomp, Cultivation iconCultivation, Endurance iconEndurance and the rest all avaiable to the very clearly Pandaren character. The Warlock was a Tauren on the login screen as well, so it was just the in-game model that was wrong. Many commenters tried to find a reason for this but none were right.

In the end, the half-transfer lasted for half a week, and the solution was found in a simple transmog change! The Pandaren was gone, along with the armor set that was changed. and another full Tauren entered the world!

Have you had something weird like this happen to you?
