This article is about the avatar or physical manifestation of a divine or powerful being. For the dervish form skills, see Form.

An Avatar is a physical manifestation of a God or other powerful beings on the world on Tyria into a visible form, shape, or essence.

Aside from the Gods of Tyria each possessing a specific avatar form, the only other known being that can project themselves elsewhere is Glint.

Avatars can usually be summoned by kneeling (the /kneel emote) at the appropriate location, typically at shrines dedicated to that being.
