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 195:
* In Volume Four of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', [[You Will Be Assimilated|Sylar]] tracks down and kills a man who can change his form to look like any other human being, and thus claims the power for himself.
* [[Roger Rabbit Effect|Ttark]] from ''[[Kratts' Creatures]]''.
* Odo from ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' is a nonhumanoid alien of living, malleable protoplasm. He 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.
