** Nanny Ogg's pet cat Greebo, in ''[[Discworld/Witches Abroad|Witches Abroad]]'', picked up a new skill: he can turn into his human male equivalent, and invokes [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]. He retained the skill, and uses it again in ''[[Discworld/Maskerade|Maskerade]]''.

* Any one person that's in love with a werewolf in the [[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]] universe. Sure, they originally were human so it may be a subversion in that regards, but they're still large wolf like things that don't really look like wolves in the movies.
