A [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]] is never without a weapon, because they ''are'' a weapon. When nothing else is within reach, they can form their body or [[Artificial Limbs]] into [[Wolverine Claws|claws]], [[Blade Below the Shoulder|blades]], [[Cool Guns|guns]], [[Drop the Hammer|hammers]]... their arsenal is limited only by their [[Green Lantern Ring|imagination]]! (And possibly the story's [[Magic A Is Magic A|internal logic]].) Others who are "limited" to only one alternate shape will use a [[Partial Transformation]] to unsheathe their claws (or [[Combat Tentacles|tentacles!]]) while still in human form.

** ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' has Malaugrim—extraplanar villains trying to return to their old world, whose weapons of choice are spiky tentacles and suchlike. They also use these for surprise attacks after infiltrating in more innocent forms and growing a weapon when no one looks.

** The Keepers, creepy [[The Men in Black|Men in Black]] with malleable bodies, such that they can reshape their hands into clubs or knives.

* ''[[GURPS]]: Magic'' has a whole set of spells called Partial Shapeshifting that allow the caster to transform body parts into enhanced versions of animal ones.
