Love, Death, + Robots (Monster and Werewolf Transformations)

This is Daymon, bringing you some metamorphoses of from the new Netflix animated anthology series Love, Death, + Robots. Be aware that these clips are NSFW because of frontal nudity and violence.
The first transformation comes from the episode "Sucker of Souls," where an ancient vampire is awakened and, after taking some blood, transforms into a giant monster:



The next clip comes from the episode "Shape-Shifter." One werewolf confronts another to avenge his friend's death; they meet naked on a moonlit night and transform to fight it out in the desert. The transformation is the skin-ripping type and is slickly animated:

"The Flash" and "Hellboy" and Hyundai (Shark, Jaguar, and Horse Transformations)

Thanks to commenter Arerenson, who wrote that the lastest episode of The Flash (season 5, ep. 15) features a human turning into the villain King Shark. This might be the first good live action shark transformation I've seen:




We also received several requests to post the trailer for the upcoming Hellboy film, which features a rather sexy Were-Jaguar. The TF community was understandably excited:




And here is a Hyundai commercial, suggested by Werefan, which includes a partial horse transformation. Let's hope more advertising agencies get these sort of ideas!

The Magicians, The Order, and Shadowhunters (Werewolf Transformations)

I've grouped these scenes together since they're all live-action transformations from TV programs with obviously limited budgets.

We'll start with a dream sequence from The Magicians (season 4, episode 4):




Next, The Order, a new Netflix series. This was a disappointment, since werewolves play a large part in the series (the central character is one), but there are no complete onscreen transformations. Instead there are partial TFs of the hero in episode 3 and a glimpse of his fully transforming shoulder in episode 4, as you'll see below. My thanks to Paraeidolon for the video.




Lastly we come to Shadowhunters (episode 46) for another very short, partially glimpsed transformation--primarily a bit back shifting, which leaves us wanting to see more. My thanks to weremaster1989 for the video:

The Immortal Hulk (Saquatch, Hulk, and Muscle Growth Transformations)

Issue 4 of the most recent Hulk series features the Sasquatch, the college roommate of Bruce Banner, imitated the Hulk by bombarding himself with gamma rays. He gets stabbed in a fight and transforms on the operating table:






Issue 5 has two separate scenes of Saquatch reverting to humanity:




In issue 8, the disembodied body parts of the temporarily dead Hulk recombine for his resurrection (remember, in this series Hulk is immortal!). Unfortunately a scientist gets in the way and is absorbed in the process:





Later on there's a scene of the Hulk reverting:



Lastly, we see some Red Hulk action in issue 11. The Red Hulk is the green Hulk's resentful father-in-law:




"Genjui Toteku" and "Sengoku Vamp" (Werewolf Transformations)

It's manga werewolf time! We begin with the one-shot Genjui Toteku (幻獣医トテク) about a special doctor who treats supernatural creatures. The first patient finds himself slowly turning into a lycanthrope:







The good doctor tracks him down and administers an antidote:



But the patient undergoes a remission:







Now for the second selection, taken from chapter 8 of Sengoku Vamp (戦国ヴァンプ). One of the characters has been transformed into a rather puppyish werewolf (offscreen) and is magically changed back, but with lingering effects...





And of course his mental control isn't too strong...



"Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King," "Jack," and "Dragon" (Monster and Dragon Transformations)

Here's a trio of animated beast transformations. First, a sort of demon-semi-werewolf-monster transformation from the anime Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King, episode 6.

EDIT: This video was later taken down by Dailymotion. Fortunately, Dutchbull has added this series to his website. You can view the clip here, along with an earlier partial TF.

(There's also a partial TF at
The next selection is from Daymon, who presents "Jack," wherein a rabbit bitten by a strange antlered beast transforms into one himself (starting at 1:54 and continuing to 2:50):

Second is "Dragon TF," involving a man turning into a chubby reptile:

"Hulkverines" and "Everafter" (Muscle Growth, Monster, Hulk, & Chupacabra Transformations)

In Hulkverines #1 the Hulkverine hunts the Hulk. They transform into their monster forms to have a tussle:





Let's move on to a somewhat different comic, Everafter: From the Pages of Fables. One of the main characters, Conner Wolf, is a shapeshifter, and in issue 12 he takes on three forms.
First, he reverts from a different (and less attractive) male human form to his own:



Next he turns into a chupacabra:


Lastly, there's an image of him as a wolfman on the final page:


Werewolf Video Round-Up (Werewolf Transformation)

We received multiple requests to post the following video, which also appeared on twitter. As you can see, it's the work of a very skilled artist:




Now we move on to some discoveries from Daymon, starting with "Hipster Werewolf" from Adult Swim, followed by its animatic:

Here is another animatic, in a much different style:




The next two videos are on the stupid side...First, a werewolf truck from the kids "comedy" show Right Now Kapow:




Followed by a "blueblood moon werewolf" from Corner Gas Animated:



Getting back to more serious content, here's a transformation from Elder Scrolls Online, found by Vanzilen on our Discord server:



Lastly, an anonymous commenter wrote "I went through your werewolf archives and found a disturbing lack of the shortfilm Overtime (2016, but posted 8 months ago on vimeo), which features a werewolf trying to get home before he fully changes." Here it is:

Urban Animal (Rat, Lizard, Sabertooth, Snake, Wolf, Werewolf, Monster, Pterodactyl, and Baboon Transformations)

Daymon here, with news of the transformation-themed webtoon Urban Animal. It's about a teenage boy finding out he is a shapeshifting creature known as a Chimera. He soon encounters creatures similar to himself. Here is the list of chapters with transformations:

Pilot (Rats Transformation)
Born as Ghosts (Rats to Human Reversion)
Biting Down (Partial Reptilian and Sabertooth Transformation)
Faint (Partial Gorilla, Rabbit, and Sabertooth Transformations)
Shadow Moses (Snake, Wolf, and Werewolf Transformations)
The Messenger (Monster to Human Reversion)
Daedalus (Pterodactyl Transformation)
Matter of Time (Baboon Transformation)
No Tourists (Continued Baboon Transformation)

Phoenix (Werewolf Transformation)

Daymon here, with some lycanthropy from the manga series Phoenix, by the great Osamu Tezuka. We first see a young man's face being skinned and replaced with a wolf's:






Now, here's where it gets a bit confusing--the character's future incarnation is hit by some form of radiation and becomes hairier:




Meanwhile, his past incarnation get his muzzle cut, and after trying to heal the wound his wolf head starts to rot and melt away into a human face:








His future self on the other hand fully transforms into a wolfman after surviving an explosion:

A comic by BananaPunch called Ape-tite ... you can guess what transformation is in this one.

Tuesday, March 5, 2019

We've been on a two-month winter break, mainly because there haven't been very many good transformations. But we now have enough material, so expect an update around March 13 March 17 (sorry, I got sick over the weekend). Update will happen by 12:00pm PST.
