I believe this occurs as a visual discrepancy for clients that were out of zone when a druid casts treeform. To those people, the druid will appear as a human with his head sticking out of the ground. The caster's client will appear as a normal tree (usually*... halflings sometimes just get large). I haven't taken a screenshot of it myself, but multiple people have come by and asked me what I'm doing in the ground.

I'll try to secure a screenshot from a second client.... This will occur pretty frequently as druid seems to be a popular class, and everyone with a manastone is gonna be sitting around with treeform on.

Quick test: treeformed, then the ogre in picture zoned in and took screenshots of me.
My client: https://i.imgur.com/7nG84jG.png (big halfling effect, this happens when there are no trees in the area I think?)
Their client: https://i.imgur.com/bUSXhlj.png Barely visible but my I'm a human sitting below the ground on his client.

When I stand you can see I'm a human fully rendered in my current gear on the second player's client. FYI my race is halfling.

If I treeform right in front of him, our clients are synced (we see the same thing). If I, treeformed, stay put, and he zones out and in, he sees a half-sunk human again.

I tested this same procedure with wolf form. I become a very small wolf on his screen after he zones in and wolf form is already active (on a halfling). I don't have a guise so I can't test that.

I can test with a guise. All i need is one dropped into my inventory. I'll be waiting around West Karana. If a GM just wants to add that to my inventory so i can test.
