* ''[[Shadow Hearts]]'', sort of - Yuri can turn into different demons but there are other party members as well.

* The sloth demon's Fade level in ''[[Dragon Age]]''.

* ''[[Mystic Ark]]'' contains a slight variant: while the hero(ine) never changes form, (s)he is joined by two spirits who can each be made to inhabit one of several wooden figurines, bringing them to life as various allies ([[Fighter Mage Thief|fighter, mage, cleric, ninja, etc.]]). You can move those spirits around pretty much anytime outside of battle.

* Deoxys from the ''[[Pokémon]]'' games has 4 different forms that can be changed depending on the game in the Advance generation, or using some meteorites in the DS games. The forms are a normal one that acts as [[Jack of All Stats]], a [[Glass Cannon]] attack form, a [[Stone Wall]] Defense form and a [[Fragile Speedster]] form. Another Pokemon that can change forms is Rotom, each of these forms gives him increased stats compared to his base form (the five forms have the same stats), a different Elemental power, and as of Gen V, its Ghost typing is swapped out for one matching that of the appliance it's possessed.

* The protagonists of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep]]'' can get spells that let them transform into different [[The Heartless|Unversed]] in the [[Updated Rerelease|Final Mix]] version of the game.

Line 70:

* Tony Tony Chopper from ''[[One Piece]]'' has, like all [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Zoan-type users]], three basic forms; however, by using his Rumble Ball (a medication he developed), he expands that number to seven: his reindeer form (fast), his human form (strong), his hybrid form (brainy: he can do an [[Enemy Scan]]; this is also his usual form, unlike most Zoan users) as well as a form optimized for jumping, defense, striking, and using his antlers. There is yet another form he takes on if he OD's on the Rumble Balls, a [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|terrifying, giant monster]]. Finally, he claims to have developed more during the [[Time Skip]], but they have yet to be seen.

* One of the ''[[Zoids]]'' series featured the main character's Giant Robot Liger getting three different sets of armor named [[Gratuitous German|Jäger, Schneider, and Panzer]], which greatly enhanced speed, maneuverability, and firepower, respectively.

* Negi Springfield of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' can go between forms of his [[Black Magic|Magia Erebia]] [[Super Mode|Armationem]], his Agilitas Fulminis oriented more towards [[Fragile Speedster|speed and mobility with less offense and defense]] while being more alike to his use of [[Blow You Away|wind]] and [[Shock and Awe|lightning]], the other - his Sim Fabricatus - with [[Mighty Glacier|greater strength and defense over a loss of speed]]. Of note is that [[Ken Akamatsu|The author]] likes to reference games and RPGs throughout the series (this being one of many), so this can be argued to count as a [[Shout Out]] to the game form of this trope.
