One-Winged Angel/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney]] '''loves''' this Trope:

** In ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' Maleficent turns into a dragon to fight Prince Philip, respectively.

* ''[[Drawn Together]]'': When the King of Mexico drinks the worm . . .

* In the ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo]]'' [[OAV]], the human bad guy leaps into a tank of magical ink, turning into a giant inky monster with metal tentacles, constantly spawning four-color minions.

* Kevin 11 from ''[[Ben 10]]'' is an odd spin on this: His '''true''' form is his first form, {{spoiler|an orphaned eleven-year-old boy with the power to absorb energy. Attempting to absorb the Omnitrix's energy, however, resulted in him losing the only thing he had left... His humanity.}}

** Then again, there's more than one way to look at the phrase "true form":

'''Ben''': You always were a freak, Kev. It's just that now the ugly's also on the outside. }}

** Fortunately for Kevin, {{spoiler|''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' ends with the Omnitrix destroyed (which Ben replaces with the Ultimatrix) and Kevin regaining his humanity as a result}}.

** [[The Joker]] loved disguising himself and then revealing his true [[Monster Clown]] face (he's better known for doing this in [[The Movie]]);

** Clayface... it's easier to say he ''really'' liked to turn into horrifying things during combat;

** One of the more way-out examples is the episode "Home and Garden", where Poison Ivy created a race of plant people who start out as normal-looking babies (save for the fact that they've emerged from giant seed pods) but may suddenly mutate into huge, green, ogrish thugs;

** Eventually it got to the point where the Preserver assumed a monstrous form to fight Lobo in the ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'' episode "The Main Man".

* In all versions of ''[[Spawn]]'', Violator eventually changes from his [[Monster Clown]] appearance into a huge horned monster whenever he wanted to smack some stupid out of Spawn.

* Spoofed in ''[[Igor]]'' where Jackyln runs out of pills and turns into her true form- a cute little Igorrette.

* ''[[Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys|Captain Simian and The Space Monkeys]]'' has "Gormungus", an alter-ego of [[Gentle Giant]] Gor. For roughly the first third of the series, pushing Gor's [[Berserk Button]] sends him into an [[Unstoppable Rage]]. After the malevolent alien Apax captures Gor and decides that the temper and strength make him the perfect gladiator, but that gentle side just has to go, he zaps Gor with a home-made mutagenic raygun. As a result, whenever Gor gets angry, he grows into a massive, more feral-looking gorilla creature, sort of a cross between [[The Incredible Hulk]] and [[King Kong]], until he gets calmed down.

* This happened to Valtor in ''[[Winx Club]]''.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4GaPcLgOs Unicron does it with style in the '86 movie.]

** {{spoiler|A human example with Silas}} in ''[[Transformers Prime]]''. {{spoiler|After being mortally injured when Nemesis Prime falls on top of him, his mind is transferred into the body of the recently killed Breakdown.}}

* In the ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' [[The Movie|Movie]] ''Destination Imagination'', Mr. Herriman makes the mistake of verbally threatening an emotionally unstable [[Reality Warper]] named World with the thing he fears most, to be sealed away alone again. World replies by destorying his imaginary world and transforming into a massive chimera creature to try and reclaim Frankie, the only person in years who has treated him with kindness. It actually works out pretty well for him as no one can really stop him until Frankie calms the poor kid down.

* There is also ''[[Atomic Betty]]'' villain Maximus IQ becoming a giant demonic cat when he wore the Amulet of Shangra-La-Di-Dah in its titled episode.

* In the season 2 finale of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', {{spoiler|the Princess Cadence Impostor, once revealed, sheds her disguise in a massive pillar of green fire, revealing her true monstrous form of Queen Chrysalis, the Queen of the Changelings.}}

* [[Thundercats]] "Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form into MUMM-RA, THE EVER-LIVING!!" Snarf proves that anyone can channel the 'ancient spirits of evil' if they're allowed into the transformation chamber. This might seem disloyal of them, but hey, the spirits ''are'' evil...
