Line 171:
* Similarly to ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', ''[[ADOM]]'' features various "corruptions" that you eventually gain after enough exposure to the forces of Chaos (from traps and Chaos beings, but also simply being deep in a dungeon). These most commonly take the form of Lovecraftian superpowers - although as "superpowers", they're mostly examples of [[Blessed with Suck]]. Also similarly to the ''Warhammer'' games, taking enough corruption will turn you into a "writhing mass of primal Chaos".
* ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'' has the main character capable of significantly altering his own body, allowing him to grow everything from claws to [[Combat Tentacles]] to better destroy absolutely everything around him... or he can ''eat someone'' to steal their appearance and blend into a crowd. Combine this with [[Super Strength]], [[Super Speed]], and [[Nigh Invulnerability]], and you've got one very scary [[Villain Protagonist]] on your hands.

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3'' has The Pain, who is technically covered in hornets. He attacks by spitting hornets that burrow into Snake's flesh unless removed.
* Yuri and other Harmonixers (except Shania) in ''[[Shadow Hearts]]'' fuse with various demons, including [[Cosmic Horror]]s, in ways that cause their bodies visible pain and take a toll on their minds. The villains tend to be even more so.
