* In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', Goku was subject to transforming into a giant ape-like creature with [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser breath]] when gazing at a full moon. In ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', Goku's son, Gohan had the same "issues". Cutting off their Saiyan tails reversed the transformation. Vegeta, having had the proper training, was in full control of his Oozaru form. |

* In ''[[Breath of Fire]] IV'', Ryu first transforms into his [[Game Breaker|Kaiser form]] after he witnesses [[Complete Monster|Captain Rosso]] kill some innocent children and send an [[Hopeless Boss Fight|invincible monster]] after him and his friends.

Afterward, he can transform into Kaiser at will, but it cannot be controlled until you finish a certain sidequest. |
