Welcome to the update! My apologies for the delay, but life's been busy, and fall and winter so far have been a lean time for transformations, but I hope you'll enjoy the 10 items below. Happy Holidays to all to all our readers!

Stan Against Evil (Horse Transformation)

From "Curse of the Werepony" (Season 2, episode 3). It made me giggle.






Jughead: The Hunger #2 (Werewolf Transformation)

We covered the one-shot a while ago, but I'm pleased to report that the ongoing series also has some transformation scenes. First we see Reggie's metamorphosis:







Next is the reversion of Jughead's cousin Bingo:



Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters (Monster Transformations)

My thanks to Daymon for recommending the following scenes from this Netflix cartoon.
In episode 12 a man turns into a sort of aquatic blob monster:





An even better transformation occurs in the next episode, when the heroes' benefactor is revealed to be the "Stretch Monster," who looks like The Creature From the Black Lagoon on steroids.

American Born Chinese (Race Transformation)

This must be the first time the blog has featured a racial transformation. The graphic novel American Born Chinese has an asian-to-white change, followed by a white-to-asian reversion (induced by the Monkey King).






Teen Titans Go! (Monster/Turtle Transformations)

From season 2, episode 36...
Suffering from a bad case of Ninja Turtle envy, the Titans drink toxic ooze, but their mutations don't go as planned...



Werewolf Round-Up! (Various Werewolf Transformations from TV, comics, etc.)

And now a grab-bag of short lycanthropic metamorphoses...

As predicted, the werewolf episode of The Skinner Boys was disappointing (I've rarely seen a great transformation in flash animation), but since I put some effort into finding it, here you go:



***

More werewolfery from the French comic Le Collège Invisible (Vol. 13; for coverage of the earlier volumes, go here).


***

A brief metamorphosis from episode 4 of UQ Holder!: Mahou Sensei Negima! 2.

***

A neat gif from twitter:





***

A student animation find from Vimeo:


***

From issue 1 of Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow of the Vampire:



***

From Vampirella (Vol.3) #15:




And from issue 18:



***

The final item is from The Omen #1, and was recommended by Mr. Allen. The transformation was originally dispersed over several pages, so I had to edit most of the panels together into one spread--sorry if it looks strange. 



"Checkers in Tan Tan Tanuki" (Raccoon Dog Transformation)

This Japanese film from 1984 features a rather goofy raccoon dog (aka Tanuki) metamorphosis:



Later on there's some muzzle growth and a glimpse of the fully transformed Tanukis. I didn't see any parachute-sized scrotums.

Belladonna (Demon and Werewolf Transformations)

Thanks to Samuel G. for recommending this comic series.
Belladonna: Origins #7 features a man gradually transforming into a demon:









Belladonna #2 has a werewolf TF (NSFW!)






Lastly, a quick werewolf scene from the side story in issue 4:



TF Comic Round-Up (Dog, Demon, Bat, and Monster Transformations)

And now a grab-bag of various transformations found in various media...

Some Doberman action from volume 8 of the French comic Klaw (for TFs from earlier volumes click here):






***

Next, some demon transformations from the comic Kore, recommended by Mr. Allen.
From issue #1, the initial demon TF:





From Kore #5, the demon gets even more demonic, and then transfers himself to a new host:






***

And for more demonic fun, some morphing in The Omen #3, also recommended by Mr. Allen:




***

And to conclude this post, some vintage Man-Bat madness from Detective Comics 416, drawn by the great Frank Robbins (Man-Bat's co-creator):





Ratpocalypse (Rat Transformation)

This film clip is from the youtube account of Weremaster1989, a fellow TF enthusiast:

EDIT: The update will occur on or before Monday, Dec. 18!

I've been busy with a big non-TF project and will be traveling during Thanksgiving, so the next update probably won't be until early December. Fortunately I will have plenty of leisure time next month to hunt for and post transformation material. So my apologies for the hiatus, and see you in December. Oh, and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Update Time (and commentary on Teen Wolf's ending)

Welcome to the October update! I was away for much of the month, so Daymon once again rescued the blog, and is responsible for a majority of the posts. And many of them were suggested by our readers, whose contributions were of the highest value. Thank you all! Many of items this month are werewolf related, but hey, it's October, so why not? Feel free to scroll down to them now, instead of reading the long-winded commentary that begins in the next paragraph...

Teen Wolf has finally ended its long run, which began in 2011. Unlike many naysayers I was confident the show would be a success, since MTV was bringing in outside talent. Not only was I right, but the show's first three seasons were genuinely good TV (its quality began faltering afterward, thanks to continual cast changes, sloppy writing, and indiscriminate use of mythology). But I disappointed in one crucial area: Teen Wolf never gave us a good transformation scene, despite casting so many gorgeous actors as werewolves.

Nor did it give us a good series finale. The final episode was choppy, predictable, and unsatisfying, stuffed with forced fanservice and visual cliches like the final shot. Old cast members were brought back but not given memorable things to do, while the loose ends of the plot were shrugged aside. And of course the damn thing ended with Scott repeating his most stupid line of dialogue, "You're not a monster, you're a werewolf."

That was the fundamental flaw of Teen Wolf--it perpetually denied the monsterhood of its werewolves. That's why Scott, despite being the Alpha, never transformed into anything that looked much like a wolf. That's why Jeff Davis, despite promising that the werewolves would have three forms, dropped the most interesting--and most monstrous--form after the first season.

The dramatic interest in a werewolf is that it's a monster AND human at the same time: a human who can change into a monster and a monster whose true form is human. Remove the danger from a werewolf--the danger of losing control and giving in to bestial desires--and it becomes boring;  lycanthropy becomes just another superpower. The British Being Human, which couldn't afford CGI, proved you could fill a TV show with excellent transformation scenes created by practical effects. I had hoped Teen Wolf would take advantage of this breakthrough, given its subject matter. It never did, and I'm starting to fear no other shows will either.


The Monster Project (Werewolf Transformation)

My thanks to the anonymous reader who suggested this.

The Monster Project is a found-footage horror film, so there's lots of jerky camera work and night-vision. But these otherwise annoying elements keep the film's werewolf mysterious and undoubtedly make the special effects (already higher-quality than expected) look better.

For reasons too silly to explain, the film rarely shows the werewolf in human form (he's a Native American policeman), so the first two shots in this edited clip are from earlier on. The video artifacts and few seconds of blackness are from the original. 
As for the transformation, watch for some muzzle growth after the shirt-ripping scene.


Tu mourras moins bête (Age Progression)

Daymon here with a suggestion from an anonymous commenter for an online french Edutainment series called Tu mourras moins bête, which has an age progression scene in the episode "Pourquoi les ados sont-ils si mous?". The video doesn't allow embedding, so watch it here.

Marvel's Spider-Man (Werewolf transformation and Reversion, Muscle Growth and Reversion)

The co-editor here with some transformations from Marvel's Spider-Man, found in the episode "Halloween Moon." The premise has the gamma-powered Man-Wolf infecting several students. After he's defeated his lycanthropy is transferred to the Hulk, whose werewolf transformation reminds me of an old comic I read. This new series has already gifted us with two transformation episodes, so maybe we'll get a few more down the line...

A Goofy Movie (Age Progression/Monster Transformation)

My thanks to Kivuli for recommending this clip and to Daymon for locating the video.

I suspect that many children's minds were scarred from watching this notorious scene from A Goofy Movie (1995), where Max transforms into his father Goofy. From our point of view it's age progression. From Max's it's a monster transformation.



Amazing World of Gumball (Human Reversion)

By Daymon 

Our thanks to The Ultimate Crusader for suggesting this unique transformation scene from the Amazing World of Gumball episode, "The Line," where the family horrifically transforms into a WASP-ish nuclear family while wholesome songs are played:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2017 (Werewolf Transformation and Reversion)

Daymon here with a werewolf transformation and reversion suggested from Anon, from the most recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, in the episode "Crypt of Dracula":

Tara Duncan (Werewolf Transformation, Post 2)

Daymon here, with a small transformation from the French cartoon Tara Duncan (which was featured in an earlier blog post), found in the episode, "The Cup of Invincibility." Voila:

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes (Cat Transformation)

 Update time! Fewer items than usual, but it's been a lean time--and would have been even leaner without the suggestions sent in by our loyal readers. On other note: I'm going on vacation from now until Oct. 12, so my co-editor Daymon will be in charge while I'm away.

On with the update! We lead with a surprise were-cat TF, from the episode "We've Got Fleas":

Werewolf Comic Round-Up (Werewolf Transformations)

My thanks to Samuel G., who recommended all of the comics featured below, and in most cases also supplied the scans.
We'll start with Crimson Society. Issue 1 has the following reversion scene:




In issue 2 our hero transforms after a night with his lady:







In issue 3 our hero tries getting his transformations under control and we see a limited reversion:










Next, a scene from Bad Moon Rising #1:




Momentarily switching to online-only comics, here is a transformation sequence found on Deviantart, called "Hunter of Hellspawn": Part One, Part Two, and Part Three.

And from the webcomic Some Kind of Blue Moon, a TF starting here.


The last scans are from Haunted City #2:





A last note from Samuel which concerns transformations in general--the Japanese artist Nojo removed his TF artwork from Furaffinity but is now posting sketches and drawings on twitter.
