Line 129:
* The changes in Jules from ''[[The Key to Her Heart]]'' are controlled by his/her emotional state, over which he's learned [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|meticulous control]]; except, of course, [[Rule of Funny|when it's funny]].
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', there are multiple examples. Elliot, for example, has shapeshifting [[Gender Bender]] powers, but he's at a stage where his body doesn't know its limits, so basically, he needs to transform every day to burn off excess magical energy, or else it'll overload at some inopportune moment, causing him to involuntarily transform with barely any warning.
* ''[[8-Bit Theater|]]'': Red Mage]] has this happen to him late in the series. He randomly shifts between himself and a [[Buffy-Speak|flowery...tentacled...thing...]] that resembled a monster the team had previously encountered.
 
== Web Original ==
* ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'': Both Fenris and The Beast are villainous werewolves who have a hate on for the world that cursed them into being monsters. They are both villains [[For the Evulz]] rather than for money or power.
* For whatever reason, Sonic shapeshifts into several [[Platform Game]] protagonists during ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Special Edition]]'''s Metropolis Zone.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* In the ''[[Evolution]]'' animated series, as a result of him volunteering as a human guinea pig for finding a cure against the Genus, Wayne Grey undergoes random mutations (including growing extra limbs, splitting into more copies of himself, or becoming animal-like in appearance) every time there is a high concentration of alien cells in the surroundings.
** In one particular episode where the aliens grow out of control and briefly take over the whole world, he kicks into overdrive and explodes into a pink goo.
** In the final episode, the whole team gets sent on the Moon. Makes you wonder what the hell a ''two-headed spacesuit'' was doing in a space shuttle.
Line 163 ⟶ 162:
* An episode of ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' had Cosmo shapeshifting against his will due to his "Fegiggly Gland" working wrong.
* Chuck Jones' bizarre late-entry ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' "I was a Teenage Thumb" had a wizard with the hiccups who would transform into different random things with each 'hic' - a lamppost, a touring car, a hot-air balloon...
* ''[[Kaeloo]]''{{'}}s Mr. Cat is one of these, his transformations into random objects usually brought upon by Kaeloo beating the stuffing out of him.
