The ring of protection from shape changers, has a number of effects:
- Chameleons, mimics, doppelgangers, sandestins and vampires appear in their normal form.
- Polymorphing them will be permanent. You need the ring to improve your pet shapeshifter at a polymorph trap.
- Werecreatures appear in human form and thus cannot infect you with lycanthropy. They are also prevented from summoning help. However, if you have lycanthropy, wearing this ring will not prevent you from transforming.
- Monsters with a digestion attack will not polymorph when swallowing a shapechanger whole. As a result, this ring is very useful to anyone who wants pet purple worms but cannot (or doesn't want to) genocide chameleons or doppelgangers. It will not, however, protect pets that eat the corpses of these monsters from polymorphing.
Wooden or metal rings of protection from shape changers can be eaten to acquire protection from shape changers intrinsically.
Identification

Dropping a ring of protection from shape changers into a sink produces the message "The sink looks nothing like a fountain."
