Minipost: Archmage Vargoth's SECRET IDENTITY!
![](http://pureawesome.net/wow/110808_vargoth1.jpg)
Our Resto Shaman Muckbug has the amusing habit of chugging Potions of Illusion during our raid nights, which can lead to some very funny situations. If you've never seen a bear furiously healing your raid with bite and claw animations, you haven't truly lived.
Now, I've written about my good buddy Image of Archmage Vargoth before, and I always carry the staff around so I can pop him out to visit, to pose for kill shots, etc. Well this weekend we were doing a Blackwing Descent run to get people their remaining Tier 11 tokens, and suddenly I had a brainstorm. If the Potion of Illusion just requires a nearby target to imitate, maybe Muckbug could imitate Vargoth and heal as the Archmage!
So I summoned Vargoth and we all backed away in anticipation...only to see Muckbug transform not into the familiar Kirin Tor magus, but...a tuxedo-wearing, monacle-sporting Goblin.

Naturally, the first thing he did was break into dance. Because when transformed unexpectedly into a styling Goblin in the cavernous lair of a ferocious blind dragon, what other option is there?
Unfortunately, we were all so shocked and astounded that this was the best screenshot I took. I had wanted to see Vargoth tossing Chain Heals around, but learning his true identity was certainly good enough! I mean, knowing he's a Goblin raises all sorts of questions. Maybe he's hiding out in his tower to protect a stash of hidden riches. Or maybe he can't come out because the Goblins in the Dalaran sewers will break his kneecaps over unresolved loans! :O
In any case, Archmage Vargoth, I can't believe you've hidden this from me all these years. It's like I don't even KNOW you anymore!

What the heck? Haha.
I love Vargoth so much. Doesn't everyone have a folder full of screenshots of them with Vargoth in various places? That would make a fun gallery to look at.
