Wailing Caverns' Embrace of the Viper — a hidden 5-piece bonus turns druids into a serpent

The Wailing Caverns set Embrace of the Viper has a 5-piece bonus that is not on the tooltip: a druid wearing all five pieces turns into a serpent in Cat Form. Blizzard's Zirene added that the serpent is a different color for each druid race, and slinks down to slither along the ground while prowling.

Where the pieces drop

The four Fang lords are also what unlocks Mutanus at the end, so one full clear gives you a shot at four pieces. See the Wailing Caverns guide for the route and the druid talent calculator for a Cat Form build.
