"Polymocks are creatures that change into another creature and are involved in a chess-like minigame" - I really don't see where someone got that idea. As far as I know, Polymock is the name of the game, and a recent report stated it involves the player transforming into creatures and using their skills to battle. Changing this for now because all evidence shows Polymock being the name. (Also will add the new information.) Capcom 12:35, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Don't remember where exactly, but in one of the interviews it was stated as being-chesslike, maybe one of the developer diaries.
 * polymorph Polymorph which sounds a lot like Polymock was a skill from Warcraft II, and it continued into Warcraft III and WoW. judging by the name, you're going to be mocking some sort of reference, if you turn into sheep or pigs, you're mocking Warcraft, no doubt about that(since Gw was made by defected Blizzard employees) if you turn into a small yellow mouse, then it's mocking pokemon, we'll have to wait and see though. I think Polymorph should be added to trivia for this.--Darksyde Never Again 01:03, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
 * The term 'Polymorph' is older than Warcraft, and the videos shown have you choose three pieces, each giving you a set of skills, and you fight one on one to the death. The first piece supposedly chooses your form. --Kale Ironfist 01:34, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
 * For those of you old enough to remember, the term Polymorph is in fact the name of an episode from an old old series called Red Dwarf, season 1 I believe it was. The polymorph was an alien life form that transformed into anything including inanimate objects, such as shrinking underwear. --BeeD 23:24, 12 August 2007 (CDT)
 * OH ma goodness! I remember that show xD--Gigathrash 23:41, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

I think Polymorph means "to change" in latin or sumthing... =) Majnore 14:32, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Poly = many, morph = shape. Many shapes. Easy one. 75.42.151.26 00:43, 17 August 2007 (CDT)

From the information i gathered....i looked into it cus i'm realy looking forward to this...you basically break the laws of the game as we know it. You have no regeneration, and have up to 3 professions worth of skills(as of the photo i saw, might be more). I am also assuming that with 3+ professions, the game also breaks the 200 attribute point limit(if it even uses that system) or all the skills are redone to not need them at all. In this photo(http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1048832924&size=l), "Watch Yourself!" is an enchantment, and seems to not need adrenalin. Of the other 2 or so skills we know already, they too have been altered from there actual form, so i think this game follows no limitations to current game play, and could basically create it's own skills instead of using real ones(like dwarven boxing), but i think the creators wanted to make it feel similar to a strategic form of normal play. ....I'm done Serpent615 17:28, 22 August 2007

 * I got one in Darkrime Delves. Strangely, it was a Naga Shaman too. --Macros 10:43, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

I also got a naga shaman polymock piece from darkrime delves.

Ditto --Roland of Gilead (talk) 19:26, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

I met a guy in game who said there's a different piece for each dungeon. I found the Naga in Darmrime, but I bought a Wind Rider and have no clue where it came from. That means theres still 2 more to find. --Macros 22:53, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

well it keeps on saying to get your starter pieces at 'rata sum'

anyone been there yet?


 * yup, here's a pick i've marked on where it is (zoomed out) if you can't see then well frankly your blind. []PheNaxKian 17:42, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
