Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* In ''[[Warhammer]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', warriors of Chaos can be blessed or cursed with "gifts" from their patron Gods, turning them steadily more inhuman. Eventually, at a certain point, the weak-willed become mindless Chaos Spawn, while those with [[Heroic Willpower|Villainous Willpower]] ascend into Daemon Princes who retain their sentience and control over their vast powers. In either case the warrior now becomes a full Daemon extra vulnerable to anti-Daemon abilities and armament.▼
* Dhohanoids from ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'' are [[Half Human Hybrid|Half Human Hybrids]] that can change between a human form and a mostrous one.▼

** Nyarlathotep tends to do this in mythos [[RPG|RPGs]]. Destroying his human form often causes him to manifest as some kinds of sanity-blasting monstrosity.▼

** While we're at it, Tagers, also from [[Cthulhu Tech]] are able to do this too... but in keeping with the fact that they're ''[[Dark Is Not Evil|good guys]]'', their [[One Winged Angel]] is a bit more streamlined [[Transformation Trauma|than that of Dhohanoids]].▼

* [[GURPS]] alows a player to build their own version with the alternate form advantage.▼

* Ragnorra, the obligatory [[Body Horror]] entry from ''Elder Evils'', transforms from a bloated blob of wormlike flesh into a curiously human face made out of strands - her True Mother form. While spawning utterly abhorrent monstrosities that simply should not be.
* Erwin Stahler from ''[[Mutant Chronicles]]'' starts out as a human-sized model on the battlefield, but once he's down, he goes [[One
* In ''[[Exalted]]'', there is a powerful necromantic spell named the Birth of Sanity's Sorrow. It is cast at the moment of the necromancer's death, which transforms their dying corpse into a titanic monstrosity of grotesque design, inspired by the necromancer's delusions and nightmares of dead principles. Fortunately, [[Fun
** The errata document for the game includes an upgrade to the stats of the Unconquered Sun as he appears in the "Glories of the Most High" supplement that gives him an enhanced form called "Magnanimous Unbound Sun" that gives him an extra couple hundred health levels, an extra 28 arms, some healing powers, and the inability to be killed unless this enhanced form can be dealt with.
** The Sorcery spell ''Incomparable Body Arsenal'' turns the caster into a [[Humungous Mecha]].
** Other powers that can cover this include certain Lunar Knacks and Infernal Shintai Charms.
*** The Infernal Shintai Charms are augmented by the Charm Driven Beyond Death. When an Infernal hits the Incapacitated Health Level, they make like they're downed (like, say, going down on one knee). Then their [[Power Glows|anima banner]] erupts, and they have one turn where they're completely untouchable but can only activate a Shintai Charm. At that point, they reenter battle with their [[Mana|Essence]] pool somewhat refreshed... and at the end of the battle, they have to roll not to keel over regardless.
*** The Shintai charms, explained in further detail: The most minor ones for physical changes turn you into a version of you crafted from red mist (Scarlet Rapture) or sand (Soul-Sand Devil), can split off a mortal clone of you (Splintered Gale), or allow you to copy someone else (Black Mirror). More extreme ones give you a constellation of crystalline orbs (Heuristic Logos). The most one-winged of them are Tenebrous Apotheosis (which ramps you up to become the Ebon Dragon), All-Devouring Depths (which turns you into a shoggoth), [[No Indoor Voice|DEMON EMPEROR]] (which turns you into [[Fantastic Nuke|a walking Ground Zero]]), Greater Shintai of the Endless Desert (which turns you into a [[Genius Loci|living geographical feature]]) and Devil-Tyrant Avatar (which allows you to string together mutations to build your own form). Of these, only Soul-Sand Devil and Splintered Gale can't be used as a rude surprise in combat, and that's only because one is permanently in effect and the other is used to create ''mortals'', although one odd Splintered Gale build theoretically allows you to mass-produce cloned suicide bombers.

** Presumably because, against a being to whom the word "god" would be an ''insult'', your party wouldn't stand a chance.

** In addition, the Old World of Darkness has [[Werewolf: The Apocalypse
* The [[Neopets]]' web-based RPG parody/thingy ''Neo Quest II'' has the final boss "defeated", then returning with a few additional immunities, double the HP, and a double-sized graphic. And additional limbs, wings, spikes, and menace.
