Doraemon (Demon, Horse, Wolf, Werewolf, Rat, Bull Transformations)

This cartoon is massively popular in Asia--so popular that thousands of episodes have been made. Some storylines from the original manga have been adapted multiple times--one example is "The Wolf Family." There are three versions--the last is the best, but let's start with the first one (episode 12, which aired in 1979). Doraemon (the superpowered robot cat) points a flashlight at Nobita (the boy who owns him), which turns Nobita into a wolf:

Make sure to watch the a reversion scene afterward!


The second version of "The Wolf Family" is episode 809 (date unknown). I edited this video, which includes the reversion:



The last and best version is episode 158 from the 2005 reboot. This video includes a werewolf transformation Nobita sees on TV:



Going back to the 1979 series, here's a werewolf from episode 97:

This story was re-adapted in episode 1373, and the werewolf was retained:

Ditto for the episode 53 of the 2005 show:



As for other creatures, here's a demon transformation from the Doraemon movie Journey to the West (ドラえもん 映画 1988 のび太のパラレル西遊記). Scroll to 39:32 for the start.

In episode 189 of the newer series, Nobita turns into a horse:



In episode 191 of the 2005 series (ドラえもん その日、すべてがネズミに! ジャイアン) every human in Japan turns into a rat (or mouse?). Start watching here for ear and tail growth, here for brief fur growth, and here for further facial TF.


Lastly, in episode 1476 (キャンディでしつけよう) one of Nobita's friends undergoes a quick bull TF.

Note:
I'm still trying to track down two episodes that might have transformations in them:
# 435 "I want to be a dog"「いぬになりたい」and # 1415 "Dog Nobita Nobi" 「のび犬のび太」
Any assistance finding these will be greatly appreciated.
