Line 55:
* ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]] 4: The Return of Michael Myers'' had this at the end with the little girl holding Michael's butcher knife, implying that she has become the new killer.
* The [[Re Cut|Producer's Cut]] of ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]]: The Curse of Michael Myers'' ended with Dr. Loomis being marked with the [[The Corruption|Curse of Thorn]] to imply that he would carry on Michael's taint. This was one of many things dropped in the theatrical version, although this one happened because [[Donald Pleasence]] died.
* At the end of the ''
* In the ''[[Doom]]'' movie, Reaper is dying and his sister subjects him to the chromosome which had turned everyone else into monsters. [[Deus Ex Machina|Luckily]] (and perhaps subverting this trope) he is among the small percent of humans who ''don't'' turn into monsters when exposed to it and instead become 'angels'.
** Arguably played straight by the "[[Decoy Protagonist|protagonist]]" Sarge turning into a demon.
Line 78:
* Near the end of ''[[Undead or Alive]]'' Elmer makes the mistake of punching an infectious zombie in the mouth, and almost immediately realizes that he is beginning to turn. While he uses the last few moments before the hunger overwhelms him to attempt to make a Heroic Sacrifice, he succumbs in the end, infecting one companion and convincing him to help devour another.
* ''[[Skyline]]'' has {{spoiler|Jarrod's brain installed into an alien, only for his [[Heroic Willpower]] to grant him control over that alien instead of just becoming its CPU}}.
*
* {{spoiler|Needy}} becomes part-demon after surviving Jennifer's attack in ''[[Jennifer's Body]]''.
* In the final scene of the movie ''[[Deadgirl]]'' we find out that the main character has become a {{spoiler|[[Double Standard Rape (Sci Fi)|zombie]] [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|rapist]]}} despite spending the entire movie trying to dissuade his friends from doing the exact same thing.
Line 126:
* This is a quite common fate for any investigator in [[Call of Cthulhu]], ranking perhaps just below "killed by horrible monster existing in fourteen dimensions at once," "lab rat or soul-in-a-jar for horrible monster," "spends remainder of his or her life eating cockroaches in a padded cell," and "gets brain stolen by horrible monster."
* Subverted in [[The Whispering Vault]]: People who investigate the [[Eldritch Abomination|Unbidden]] and survive tend to be turned into [[Humanoid Abomination|Stalkers]]...but given how a Stalker's entire purpose is to [[Dark Is Not Evil|protect reality from Unbidden and retain most of their human personality]], this comes off more as a transhumanist reward.
* In ''[[Birthright]]'' killing one of the Blooded, especially those who didn't proclaim a heir, [[You Kill It, You Bought It|spills their power to be "inherited" by anyone in the vicinity]]. A bloodline acquired in any way may dominate equal or weaker one, and bloodline of Azrai that tend to twist people into Awnsheghlien ("blood abominations") is more "sticky" than the rest. An Awnsheghlien usually collects reputation as a serious threat pretty quickly, but - three guesses as to why they are so hard to eradicate.
Line 151 ⟶ 152:
* In ''[[La Pucelle]]'', if you defeat certain powerful enemies in the Dark World/Netherworld (which requires a lot of [[Level Grinding]]), a band of demons will appear and declare Prier their new ruler... which Prier [[Subverted Trope|rejects out of annoyance]] after being teased by her teammates, and [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|the game continues anyway, ignoring this interruption]]. However, if she continues on past that, becoming even stronger, she triggers a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] as the demons make her their new ruler for good and her friends abandon her. Prier being a demon queen is ''the [[Canon]] ending'', as she puts in several appearances in the [[Disgaea]] series as "Demon Overlord Prier," a powerful optional character, as a half-demon with wings and a horn.
** Curiously, the plot [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|still ignores this.]] Until the [[Updated Rerelease]] for the PSP, that is.
* Possible example: In ''[[Quake 4|Quake IV]]'', at a particular point that marks roughly the midpoint of the game, the protagonist is converted into a Strogg in all but allegiance. Were it not for a very well timed raid by the good guys, our hero would have crossed the point of no return, as he was almost the entire way through the [[Painful Transformation|conversion process]] by that point. He then became a [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3clVvh5gbGE
* The Bydo ''love'' pulling this on humanity's heroes in the ''[[R-Type]]'' series.
** It first happens in ''R-Type Delta'', if the player is piloting the R-13 Cerebrus--that particular fighter proves incapable of escaping the final level, and the Bydo exact revenge by converting the ship and its pilot into a tree-like Bydo.
