The Polar Bear Prince (Bear and Dog Transformations)

Welcome to the (end of) Summer update! It's been a while since our Spring one, but good transformations are harder and harder to find. This time we're back with 35 posts for you, spread over three pages. Many thanks to everyone who found material and sent in their suggestions. 

The Polar Bear Prince (Kvitebjørn) is a 2D-animated family adventure film made in Norway and released in 2024. It doesn't seem to have played in the US and the only video I could find was the Russian dub. As you can guess, the plot involves a prince cursed by a witch to transform into a polar bear. In the first clip we see him temporarily in human form but then transforming again, followed by a scene, from the end, of his reversion (don't worry, he's not dead!):

You can also see a version of the scene with its original audio on the Instagram of the character animator who handled it. 

The second clip involves two servants of the witch: She turns into dogs after they go behind her back to help the hero. Their later reversion is also included. Also, at the start the clip you can see the prince's hand transform into a paw:

President Curtis (Werewolf Transformations)

Thanks to the several people who recommended this clip, from episode three of the Rick and Morty spin-off. The clip has been cued to the first werewolf transformation, but be aware that a second one is at 02:40:

Marriage Toxin (Monster Transformation)

Our thanks to T-Ace Juice on our Discord server for recommending this scene from episode 12. There's a partial TF at the start, and a full one at 2:30:

Superboy & My Adventures with Superman (Gorilla, Frankenstein's Monster, and Werewolf Transformations)

Thanks to Tfmaster27 on our Discord for recommending the episode, "All's Fair in Love and W.O.R.M.S." Jimmy goes on a date with a woman who's been known to change the men she dates: 

If you were disappointed Jimmy didn't transform further, you might enjoy these pages from Superboy #178, published back in 1971. Our hero gets exposed to red Kryptonite and turns into various monsters, including Frankenstein's:

...and King Kong:

For the sake of completism, here's a much briefer lizard transformation:

Superboy is also briefly seen as a wolfman, but there's no on-panel TF, alas:

Twice as Shy (Werewolf Transformation)

Thanks to Classymike for letting us know that this charming independent short is now on Youtube.

The transformation starts around 7:08, though the whole film is worth watching for those who enjoy human-werewolf romance (who doesn't?). 

Werewolf Animation by Geier (Werewolf Transformation)

NSFW Warning!

If you have a Bluesky account you can view the original link to this excellent NSFW werewolf transformation animation created by @Geier and posted by @antarianova. Since the video isn't accessible elsewhere online (Geier's FurAffinity account hasn't been updated in a while) and embedding doesn't work for NSFW material, we've placed a local copy here: 

Our thanks to Renviurry for bringing the video to our attention on Discord.

Blade (Werewolf Transformation)

Some werewolfery from Blade #9 (2024):

For a lycanthropic bonus, here's the cover of Psycho #15 (1973). Alas, no TFs in the interior:

An American Wereraptor in America (Velociraptor/Dinosaur Transformation)

This seven-minute Velociraptor transformation animation by 641989 is definitely NSFW! This video is embedded from the animator's E621 page. 

641989 writes, "This is by far the most ambitious project I've done...this is pretty intense, so consider yourself warned...hope you enjoy because I put a lot of work into this." Speaking on behalf of TF fanatics, we appreciate your hard work, and your ambition has paid off!

 

Man-Thing (Plant Monster Transformation and Pig Reversion)

Our thanks to the anonymous commenter who recommend the 2017 Man-Thing comic miniseries, written by R.L. Stine. From issue #1:

The cover of issue #2:

From issue #3, a trippy sequence involving a pig-to-human reversion: 

Wulf and Batsy: Magnum Orgus Part 01 (Werewolf Transformations)

Thanks again to Andréssaurio Rex for this recommendation. This the second post in this update devoted to Wulf and Batsy and its werewolf protagonist. If you like the art, here's the artist's shop.

In issue 1 our hero confronts a rude motorcycle gang:

More transformations from issue 2:

A reversion from issue 3:

X-Men '97 (Alien and Monster Transformations)

Thanks to Andréssaurio Rex for finding these scenes. In episode five of season two ("Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs") the X-Men fight the Brood, aliens who can infect and transform humans.

In this scene, a scientist is possessed and transforms:

 

Later on the X-Men watch a DVD showing another brood metamorphosis:

 

Also, in the previous episode ("Rise of Apocalypse" Part 2) there's a short scene of a mutant turning into the monster villain Apocalypse:

 

Batman: Caped Crusader (Monster Transformation and Muscle Growth)

The first season of episode two ("Brute Force") shows mobster Mark Desmond being injected with a serum, created by Dr. Hugo Strange, which turns him into a hulking monster. The episode and the design of the monster reference the 1940 story "The Giants of Hugo Strange," from Batman #1, while the name Mark Desmond references the 1960s villain the Blockbuster, who also turned into a super-strong giant.

This clip includes a reversion at 01:20.  

Wulf and Batsy: Magnum Orgus Part 02 (Werewolf Transformations)

Here's our final post from this update covering Wulf and Batsy. Thanks again to Andréssaurio Rex for recommending the series. If you like the art, here's the artist's shop.

Some steamy vampire-werewolf romance in Magnum Orgus issue 4:

A more threatening transformation, from issue 7:

And issue 8 our hero transforms to tackle an especially nasty demon:

Wolfbane Studio (Werewolf Transformation)

Thanks to Noodles for finding this video and posting it to our Discord server. Apparently it's "a werewolf model and transformation system" created for an independent video game developer. 

Blood Reign: Curse Of the Yoma (Spider and Monster Transformations)

Thanks again to Andréssaurio Rex for suggesting this OVA from 1998, which has two transformation scenes. The video is cued to the first, involving a spider-monster. For the second, of a demon combining with his horse to create a blob that turns a wolf-centaur (!), go to 01:14:48.

 

Wulf and Batsy: Lustmord Nightmares & Scarifying Tales (Werewolf Transformations)

Thanks to Andréssaurio Rex for recommending this comic. Its protagonists, a vampire and a werewolf, have appeared in several series. This is the first of three posts in this update covering Wulf & Batsy. If you like the art, visit the artist's shop.

We'll start with Lustmord Nightmares #5. Here's a partial transformation:

Followed by a  full one:

And a one-page TF from Scarifying Tales:

Saros (Alien/Monster Transformation)

Thanks to Mr.TF on our Discord channel for recommending these cut-scene endings to the video game Saros. The "bad ending" is a gnarly monster/alien/demon metamorphosis:

 

 

 

The "good" ending is a partial curtailed TF (but how is that good?!)

 

Ben 10: Classics (Alien/Monster Transformations)

When the very first Ben 10 cartoon came out it was accompanied by a spin-off comic that ran in Cartoon Action Pack. Those comics were eventually collected in trade-paperback as the Ben 10 Classics series. In volume one, Ben Here Before, the artists render sequences of Ben's transformations into:

Grey Matter:

Four Arms:

Ripjaws:

and Upgrade:

Volume 02, It's Ben a Pleasure, has yet more alien transformations, this time into...

Cannonbolt:

Stinkfly:

Four Arms (plus a reversion):

Benwolf (reversion):

Grey Matter:

Wildvine:

Benwolf once more:

Heatblast:

Stinkfly again (with a reversion):

and Wildvine again (and a reversion):
