[Hallowed Wand] - Hallowed Wands are given out during the Hallow's End festival in Azeroth. They are sometimes found in a [Treat Bag] which are given out by innkeepers in various inns throughout the land.

These wands typically have 5 charges and allow you to take the form of another creature or humanoid of Azeroth for an hour.

[Treat Bag] - Once per hour, you can talk to an innkeeper and select the dialog option, Trick or Treat!. The innkeeper will either give you a Treat Bag or a Trick, temporarily polymorphing your character. The Treat Bag should be opened and looted once you get it, as it will disappear if you log out of the game.

After you speak to an innkeeper for a Treat Bag, you will receive a 60 minute debuff which will prevent you from getting more Treat Bags until the debuff expires. You must make sure you have an empty bag slot for a treat bag since you will still get the debuff from the innkeeper regardless of whether the treat bag is able to fit into your bags or not.

[Flimsy Mask] - Flimsy Masks are temporary head items which can be worn by any player at any level. Flimsy masks are sometimes received inside a [Treat Bag] by an innkeeper in various towns while trick or treating. They are available during the Hallow's End seasonal event, and have a duration of 7 days once received.
[Sinister Squashling] - This is a rare drop from the Headless Horseman. The Horseman is found in the Graveyard wing of Scarlet Monastery during the Hallow's End seasonal event.
