Pygmified!
Pygmy Suckerfish can now be caught from inland water in Northrend. Alchemists can use these to make Pygmy Oil. Each fish makes 1-2 oils. Drinking Pygmy Oil makes you a little smaller for 10 minutes. After drinking 6-10 oils in a row, you gain a buff described as "Pygmified!", which turns you into - you guessed it - a Pygmy for 10 minutes!
The buff currently changes appearance, voice and emotes: You become just like a gnome. There are no obvious combat benefits yet, such as immunity to polymorph. So it is still too early to declare this the new Noggenfogger Elixir or Deviate Delight. But it is an amusing addition to fishing, and re-introduces the link between Alchemy and Fishing professions.
Thanks to Jessikha and Ashaya on Coldarra for helping me test Pygmy Oils. Update: New common Northrend fish and skill requirements are on the Fish Finder. More details "soon".
