Line 177:
** The transformations into a bull or cat were done OFF SCREEN though. Also a dolphin.
*** And when he transformed back into his human form, he was always inexplicably fully clothed.
* The Changelings, including main ensemble member Odo, from ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' have a very flexible and almost undetectable transformation power. Their natural state is a fluid. Odo usually takes a form similar to a Bajoran (the race that found him when he was a baby and raised him) but he can change shape into almost anything he can envision, like disguise himself as a dog to flee an enemy, into a table to hide from one, or harden his fist into steel to ''punch'' one. He also has the very useful ability to turn into living liquid (his true form), letting him ooze through the tiniest hole in a wall or slither under a door.
** Also Daledians, featured in ''Next Generation'' episode "[[Star Trek: The Next Generation/Recap/S2/E10 The Dauphin|The Dauphin]]".
* It can be argued that the ''Game Face'' presented by [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffyverse]] vampires is their real appearance (after all, they're demons!) and they "shape-shift" to appear as normal humans as necessary.
Line 305:
* In ''[[Beyond the Canopy]]'', Jojo is a semi-solid being who can alter his shape and proportions at will.
* In [[The Kingfisher]] some vampires can turn into animals, animalistic monster forms, mist, and/or some kind of shadowy form. These abilities are all at will and seem limited by the vampire's lineage.
* The students in ''[[Wizard School]]'' play a magical sport called Transmogritus - a version of capture the flag in which the students [https://web.archive.org/web/20130122160715/http://www.meetmyminion.com/?p=1418 "transform into something useful"] and get the flag.

Line 359:
* Every member of Oberon's Children from ''[[Gargoyles]]'' is a Shapeshifter. Heck, "changeling" was another name for them used by the title characters.
* Klone from ''[[Blackstar]]'' is a rare example of a good-aligned shapeshifter, using his powers to combat the forces of evil and once to even sneak into the [[Big Bad]]'s hideout.
* Widget from the ''[[Widget, the World Watcher]]'' series can shapeshift to pretty much anything as long as he isn't upside down.
* Two episodes of ''[[Exo Squad]]'' featured a Neosapien who was transformed into a [[Blob Monster|blobish creature]] that could shapeshift by Automutation Syndrome and medical experiments.
* Beast Boy from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', of course, can change himself into [[Animorphism|any animal that has ever lived]], earth-based or alien—he just seems to need to know what it looks like. Madame Rouge, one of the main villains from the fifth season, however, puts him to shame, being able to transform into ''anything'', period, in addition to the ability to reform herself if killed. She's generally considered to be ''the'' deadliest one-on-one opponent in the show, barring the [[The Legions of Hell|demon characters]].
