== Anime & Manga ==
* There was an episode of ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' with a Ditto owned by Duplica who had this problem -- it could turn into anything, but it always kept its own face, which usually looked downright RIDICULOUS. It is eventually stolen by Team Rocket, who flat out threatened the poor thing, eventually teaching it to make a perfect transformation. Duplica returned in Johto with a second Ditto with yet another transformation issue -- it could transform perfectly...just [[
** The Ditto in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' also have a problem with their faces not changing. In fact, it's the only way to tell them from normal Bulbasaur (which they will register as) until you hit them with a Pester Ball to make them change back.
** At least in early generations, any Ditto who used Transform would become a perfect copy of the enemy sprite, but would retain its purple palette.
Line 32:
** Having black hair in his human form actually makes a lot of sense -- it makes his skin and eyes stand out a lot, so it's not too much of a stretch that the guy with light eyes and pale skin is really a white wolf.
*** Not to mention that it stops Kiba from being a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]], which he was dangerously close to becoming.
* In ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', Chichiri does an impeccable impersonation of cold, calculating [[Big Bad|Nakago]]...except he brings his own propensity for going [[Super
* Graf Herrmann from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' keeps his horns when he's pretending to be a human. To be more accurate, his horns turn into a strange, curving hairstyle that look like his horns.
* In ''[[The Slayers]]'', Filia's human and dragon forms share a similar hairdo and a pink bow.
Line 56:
** His power is actually being semi-fluid and he is therefore able to stretch/contort into the shape of anything. He does not actually turn into the thing.
** This troper once read a JLA comic where Plastic Man turned into an aeroplane that could actually fly. And, with tremendous effort, he once turned the tip of his nose blue.
* The [
** This is, in fact, how he lost a [[Shapeshifter Showdown]] once. After trying to impress each other with a wide variety of assumed shapes for the entire issue, his opponent [[New Mutants|Warlock]] (with a little help from his teammates, who felt the whole thing was getting out of hand) hit upon the idea of ''changing color'', which he could do and Impy couldn't.
* Changeling (a.k.a. Beast Boy) from the ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' is always green in his various animal forms.
Line 140:
* When Maya or Pearl channels someone in the ''[[Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney]]'' games, they change their size and faces to the channeled, but they retain their hair style, color, and their clothes.
** This is arguably because hair and clothes are "dead" and can't be affected by living tissue. Their full bodies change completely into the channeled person.
** A strange, non-supernatural example: when {{spoiler|de Killer}} testifies in court in the second game, the transceiver he's using to communicate with the court has a button resembling his [[High
* During the Shannon boss fight in ''[[God Hand]]'', Shannon can turn Gene into a chihuahua with one attack. His fur keeps the skull pattern from his jacket.
* The status effect Ovum from ''[[Breath of Fire]] 3'' turns the affected into an egg. Your party members keep their primary color scheme as eggs (and, in weretiger Rei's case, his ''tail'').
Line 168:
* ''[[Last Resort]]'' has this enforced on Alice, sort of; she can't change the color of her eyes. This would be more of an issue if her eyes hadn't already changed into the same red-pupils-in-black "Dead Eyes" that every Djinn seems to have, but among the limited cast, it's trouble enough.
* An unusual variation in ''[[The Wotch]]'': there's a [[Running Gag]] that every time Jason is [[Gender Bender|turned into a girl]], he [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2006-12-25 gets red hair] (unless the spellcaster specifically wishes otherwise), even though his normal form has blond hair. For him, even [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2003-09-10 transformations unrelated] [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2005-03-25 to gender-swapping] tend to produce forms based on that redheaded female form rather than his normal form.
* Also seen in ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'', where shapeshifters keep their overall color scheme, like with [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0353.html Leeky Windstaff] or Vaarsuvius, whether (s)he [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0638.html shapechanges voluntarily] or is victim of a [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0176.html baleful polymorph]. As for Sabine the succubus, if she can take [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0057.html various] [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0356.html human] forms, she tends to retain her black hair and dusky skin tone (as well as showing [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]] from time to time).
* The Aces (animals turned human) in ''[[Pandect]]'' have morphic resonance with their animal forms and frequently increase the effect with their clothing and hairstyle.
* Danny, the titular character in ''Shifter'', has eyes and a mouth that appear on whatever form he takes, identical to the eyes and mouth on his human face.
