Metamorph league was a challenge league. It launched on December 13, 2019 as part of Path of Exile: Conquerors of the Atlas in version 3.9.0.

In this league, the player meets Tane Octavius. He tasks the player with gathering parts from various monsters, which he uses to create a Metamorph. Metamorphs are enemies that constantly change forms, using the moves of enemies it acquired the parts of, even unique bosses. Metamorphs drop loot based on the parts used, which can include Catalysts that give a quality stat to jewelry, increasing the magnitude of specified modifier types and the likeliness of rolling those mods.

All characters and stashes were be moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the league ended. Characters that die in the Hardcore Metamorph league were immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.
