An inventive Destiny 2 player has turned their Warlock into the Wicked Witch of the West, one of the characters from The Wizard of Oz. The Destiny 2 community often surprises with setups that turn Guardians into characters from games, anime, and movies.

There’s no shortage of good examples, such as this incredible recreation of Kill Bill‘s Bride in Destiny 2, giving its spin to one of Quentin Tarantino’s most beloved characters. Inspired by Deadpool and Wolverine, a second player made their Warlock look like Gambit. Other community members created setups inspired by Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars and Frodo from Lord of the Rings. Now, in a display of great creativity, another player has turned their Guardian into a very popular character not only in the movies but also in literature.

A clever Destiny 2 player turns their Guardian into a popular Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure character, and shares the result online.

Traveling to the Land of Oz, the Redditor SgtHondo has dressed their Warlock as the Wicked Witch of the West. One of the most iconic movie witches, the player brings the character to life in an all-black outfit, something possible thanks to the Superblack shader. Meanwhile, the Seraphim shader gives the Guardian the green tone of her skin, with Venomous and Tangled Rust highlighting the details. To compose the look, recreating her black dress, they use the Replicate Exploit, Hexwrought Robes, Blood Lineage Boots, and the Ancestral Bond. The most impressive ornament is the Cursed Arcane Hood, which has the exact shape of the witch’s pointed hat.

In the comments section, other players praised the OP’s build, especially the hat. The Cursed Arcane Hood is one of the ornaments that players can obtain during the Festival of the Lost, the Halloween celebration in Destiny 2. This year the event began on October 29 and will end on November 19, and during these weeks players can add a variety of masks and complete sets to their inventory.

As one of the characters originating in the children’s novel The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, the Wicked Witch of the West has been adapted into different media. Rebecca Mader played the witch in Once Upon a Time, while Wicked adapted Braum’s work and became one of the biggest musicals in history. Several actresses have played the witch on stage, with Idina Menzel being one of the most remembered. The character also got several movie versions, such as the one played by Margaret Hamilton in The Wizard of Oz. For those curious to see a more current version of her, Wicked, the film starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, hits theaters in November.
