The triggering attack targets a different creature adjacent to Tananzinaen.

Quicksilver Form (move; encounter) ✦ Polymorph

Tananzinaen becomes a liquid wave of quicksilver and shifts 8 squares. He remains in quicksilver form until the end of his next turn. While in quicksilver form, Tananzinaen can't attack or fly, but gains a climb speed of 6, ignores difficult terrain, and doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. He can squeeze through any aperture a Tiny creature could fit through. Tananzinaen can return to his normal form as a free action on his turn. When he returns to normal, each creature within 2 squares grants combat advantage to him until the end of his next turn. Sustain Minor: The quicksilver form persists.

Change Shape (minor; at-will) ✦ Polymorph

Tananzinaen can alter his physical form to appear as any Medium or Large humanoid, including a unique individual (see “Change Shape,” MM2 216).
