* ''[[Gnoph]]'' has a ''lot'' of this. When it begins, Abbey is being slowly eaten alive from the inside by her [[Bond Creatures|Bond Creature]], Scut. Things get progressively ''worse'' from there.

* In the ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' prequel volume ''Start Of Darkness'', {{spoiler|Xykon rips away his own flesh as he is transformed into a lich}}.

* [[The Virus|The Crax]] from ''[[The Dragon Doctors]]'' is basically magical cancer. With tentacles.

* ''[[MSF High]]'': The Legion, at least to unwilling targets (read: genocidal [[Knight Templar|Knight Templars]]).

* ''[[8-Bit Theater|8-bit Theater]]'' has Red Mage getting raped by and transforming into what can only be described as a "hideous eye thing" and later having partial transformations as he tries to bend the laws of magic in order to hide the fact that he was still a monster.

** [[It Got Worse|It got worse.]] {{spoiler|Jade's Kernel ended up being prototyped with Bec through a series of unfortunate events. We get to watch Jack transform into an almighty godlike being with unfathomable cosmic power.}}

** There's also the fate of Sollux's ancestor The Ψiioniic, who was [[Fate Worse Than Death|forced to become]] [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|a living battery]] for [[God Save Us From the Queen|Her Imperious Condescension's]] starship.

* In the comic ''[[Wurr (Webcomic)|Wurr]]'', the hellhounds have been exposed to mutating Black Touch for generations, resulting in strange mutations such as extra limbs, eyes, too many teeth, strange skeletal structures, and countless other strange features. Some hellhounds, called Whispering Ones don't even have proper genetalia.

* In ''[[Demon Eater]]'', every time a demon eats another demon, the eater's body changes to take in some characteristics of the eaten demon. Demons can also shapeshift at will, but that has happened less often.

** Body horror is a possible random side effect triggered by the Shield of Wonder. Notable cases are the guard who was [[Baleful Polymorph|balefully polymorphed]] into an ogre and cut down by his sergeant, and one who was painfully transformed into a swarm of snakes.

** The finger horror spreads a disease called 'liquid rot' to any living thing it touches. The limbs of creatures affected by this disease will transform painfully, before falling off the body and turning into a liquid goop which the horror can feed upon.

*** And it won't even try to kill you quickly, either. It'll drag to its lair, infect you with the rot, and leave you to die a slow, agonizing death before feeding on the remains. As deaths by liquid rot go, [http://www.goblinscomic.com/06072011/ this] (spoilers) was relatively quick and clean. [[Crapsack World|Says something about the setting]], no?

* After [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=177 this strip] of ''[[VG Cats]]'', you will never look at ''[[Bubble Bobble]]'' the same way ever again.
