Shapeshifter Guilt Trip: Difference between revisions

* In Juliet Marillier's ''[[The Sevenwaters Trilogy|Child of the Prophecy]]'', the [[Evil Matriarch]] Oonagh does this during the middle of the climactic showdown: {{spoiler|while facing off her son and granddaughter, she takes on the appearance of the son's dead wife. Made worse by the fact that she killed the wife in the first place. This throws her son off-balance long enough that she would have killed him, had his half-brother not intervened.}}

* ''[[Harry Potter]]''

** A Boggart does this to Mrs. Weasley in ''Order of the Phoenix'', tormenting her by transforming into an image of her children, dead. {{spoiler|Comes true in ''Deathly Hallows.''}}

* In ''[[The Space Trilogy|Perelandra]]'', Ransom is fighting the Un-man (the demon-possessed undead corpse of Weston, the previous book's villain) when it suddenly reverts to Weston's actual personality and begs for mercy. Ransom ignores it, and the narration points out that Weston's actual soul had most likely been completely subsumed long before.
