I came across some posts on wayback machine mentioning how Priest of Discord was in weird gear and started doing some digging:

Ive seen the PoD wearing many different things. Im not 100 percent sure if its from people though. I once saw him in FULL purple armor.. quite interesting. I was told he once dropped two ragebringers (no lie) though Im not sure he was telling me the truth or not =)
(NOTE: Obviously 'dropping' ragebringers is a clear lie since they are no drop)

Ok heres some true info on the pod for you: 1.The POD does not change his clothes, it is done by people, he used to drop the stuff you gave him but that effect was nerfed and no npcs do that anymore. 2. The POD always drops two items no matter what: The robe of discord and the sash of discord, not fbr and staff of writhing they both nice items sell for about 2k each more because of rarity then stats would be worth about 400 if they werent so rare. 3. POD does not kos anyone he is of no factions so those of you that said you were "kosd" by the pod are lying 4. POD is around lvl 50 but is not nearly as good as many other npcs of his level enabaling 3 kelethin guards to kill him. 5. Finally, he can never be soloed, he has too high of a spell resistance, only way for anyone ever to be able to solo is for a rogue to use his assasinate disipline and work, and anyone who says they have charmed the pod or anything like that is giving bs because the Pod cant be charmed snared rooted mezzed feard or anything along those lines - Hopefully this will clear things up for you all - Aranis - 59th Paladin of Brell

Im on Terris Thule and It is Rivervale that always has the PoD dressed up. Occasionally G-Fay, but always Rivervale. I wonder if its the Backround music that puts poeple in the state of mind that they just have to fool around. I feel the urge to go dressup the Freeport PoD as I speak, I still have that shovel I got from Flippy Miller!!,

I know I know he isnt a monk and its just what he is wearing but....I saw him with fighting baton Essance of dol the monk newbie shirt looking shirt and white pants.RiverVale is the most used place for dressing the PoD on Karana at least i my self have never seen the REAL PoD look in Rivervale..... Karana's Rivervale anyway.Also he isnt a human always...... the Barbarian PoD is a Barbarian.....
(Interesting about PoD in Halas being a barbarian, is this the case on P99? But I digress...)
So from this we can conclude that just handing an item (charm not required as POD cannot be charmed) will force the Priest of Discord to equip it (visual texture only, items will be 'eaten').
I scoured the web for some evidence of him being equipped with items and lo and behold it is TRUE!

So perhaps this is just the PoD that had some buggy code that let you equip these items onto him, I don't recall seeing this on a lot of mobs in era on live to be honest (not like people liked destroyed gear though instead of selling it).
I would think that all humanoids would be able to equip, except for special humanoids with custom armors / graphics such as guards and vendors.
I urge you to PLEASE institute this change and let the FashionQuesters change the face of Norrath... we'll make it look FABULOUS!!
