The Diablo 4 Season 1 update has introduced a number of less-than-ideal changes that the community quickly complained about as soon as the patch was released. However, another surprising and highly entertaining change has now apparently made its way into the game after one user shared an image of their Druid Werebear equipped with a significantly different – and much brighter – color scheme.
Based on mysterious_quartz‘s Reddit post, it seems that their Diablo 4 Season 1 Druid build equipped with the dangerous and imposing Werebear has somehow turned into a cute and cuddly Care Bear that looks like it was dipped in a big bag of Cheetos. Naturally, the creature’s orange color makes it markedly less threatening as neither Lilith nor her demon hordes surely won’t take the threat of a rampaging cheese puff all too seriously.
Of course, many of the users commenting under mysterious_quartz’s thread couldn’t help but poke fun at the major cosmetic change as notgoodohoh said: “They made us ginger. Why would anyone choose to be ginger?” Another user named squidley1 then chimed in with their own experience, saying: “I knew I wasn’t going crazy, I was playing the other night and my Werebear went from forest green to looking like the dude that holds up stop signs in construction zones.”
Fortunately, KeybladeCoaster finally offered a sane explanation for this strange Diablo 4 Season 1 phenomenon after they noted that the color of your Werebear “is based on [your] character’s hair color.” This means that if you want to change the color of your sharp-clawed alter-ego back to normal, you will need to turn your player character’s hair color to brown. But if your avatar has a shiny bald hairdo à la Donan, then it may just start “looking like a fat naked mole rat” that would be even less threatening than a furry orange Dorito creature.
