The Mighty Nein (Monster and Crow Transformations)

Welcome to the Christmas update! Apologies for the long wait, but now you can celebrate the holidays with 39 new posts. Thanks as always to everyone who sent in recommendations, and we hope you have a Happy New Year. May we enjoy for plenty more transformations in 2026! Now on with the update...

Thanks to the many people who recommended episode 3 from The Mighty Nein. During a circus show the Devil Toad goes berserk and shoots out mutagenic needles that transform anyone hit into his monstrous thralls. 

Three men are shown transforming onscreen--a member of the audience, an acrobat, and the ringmaster: 

But there's more! Andréssaurio Rex informed us of a crow transformation in the most recent episode (eight), and here it is! 

Magic Animals (Bear Transformation)

In this illustrated Spanish-language book, one of the characters gains the ability to turn into an anthropoid bear. Thanks to Andréssaurio Rex for locating and suggesting the material. 

 

 

Thamma (Werewolf Transformation)

One of the highlights of 2022 was the Indian werewolf film Bhediya (its transformation scenes can be viewed here and here). This year the werewolf reappeared in the Indian vampire film Thamma, and we were treated to another good transformation scene, along with some vampire-versus-werewolf combat. Interestingly, the werewolf design has changed, going from feral to bipedal.

 This video, which has been edited together from various scenes, includes a humorous reversion.

 

And here's a less-dark, slow-motion version of the transformation, contributed by our friend Noodles to our Discord server:

Dungeons & Dragons: Mindbreaker (Monster Transformation)

Thanks to Ggwell from our Discord server for recommending issue three, with its parasite-monster transformation:

 

The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (Werebear Transformation)

Thanks to ClassyMike and Thel-caedra-cadavain on our Discord server for recommending this Halloween special episode.

In the first part of the clip, the gang tries to ensnare a werebear that's been attacking travelers, but they end up trapped with him during the full moon instead. In the second part the werebear is cornered by a hunter and transforms again: 

Zatannic Panic! (Werewolf Transformation)

One of the stories in DC Comics' 2025 Halloween Special shows Swamp Thing and John Constantine tracking a werewolf. Things get hairy after Constantine is scratched:

 

Luckily Swamp Thing finds a plant-based cure for lycanthropy:

 

 

 

This was not the first time Constantine turned into a werewolf, as you'll see in this old post.

Sanda (Muscle Growth and Age Progression)

Thanks to BeastWolf for recommending this video on our Discord server. 

A student transforms into...a studly version of Santa Claus. Merry Christmas!

 

 

Chaos (Werewolf Transformations)

Thanks to Dinonator for recommending this six-issue limited series, which features a werewolf in the main cast. From issue one:

From issue five (spoilers ahead):

And the reversion in issue six: 

Solar Opposites (Monster, Muscle Growth, and Transgender Transformations)

Thanks to Andréssaurio Rex for finding these!

From episode four of season six: Korvo (one of the main characters) is having an argument with his daughter Jesse, who wants to be a dad (after playacting as one and enjoying the perks). She gets accidentally doused with a chemical that turns her into a literal Dad:

 

From episode 10 of season six: a monster who feeds on negativity gets an overload, causing him to grow too much. Shortly afterward, "The Pupa" turns from a grub into a snake-like monster:

"Wes turns into a werewolf" (Werewolf Transformation)

Thanks to Tokidesu on our Discord server for recommending this excellent animation by "art by alex" @grabsart: https://twitter.com/grabsart/status/1973093958503793121

The Ancient Magus' Bride: Jack Flash and the Faerie Case Files (Werewolf Transformation)

 Volume one of this manga introduces Larry, the werewolf sidekick to the titular heroine.

Sometimes Larry absentmindedly shifts between his two forms: 

 

A little bit of muzzle growth:

 

And here's a spread from the start of the book showing him in mid-form:

 

Spongebob Squarepants (Werecreature Transformation)

This one is a bit difficult to classify...SpongeBob gets bitten by DoodleBob (a crudely drawn caricature of SpongeBob) and turns into a "weredoodle." Thanks to the tireless Andréssaurio Rex for finding this episode (#321a, "Curse of the WereDoodle"). 

There's a second transformation at 3:52, by the way.  

Monster Raban (Kaiju/Lizard Monster Transformation)

Thanks to Dinonator for recommending this manga from 1958. A scientist comes across his rival, who has been reduced to skin and bones by poison, and injects him with a vial of Godzilla's blood, hoping it will be lethal. Instead it turns his rival into a giant lizard.  

 

Today in Marvel History (Lizard Transformation)

Our thanks to Robyn on our Discord server for recommending this video, which shows that on Earth-65 the Lizard has a different alter-ego:

Les Contes du Korrigan (Fish Transformation)

This French comic, based on legends from Brittany, includes a story about a young man who gets deposited in a strange realm by a Dragon:

There he is seduced by the sorceress in charge, and after they make love she turns him into a fish!

Luckily his girlfriend comes to the rescue and turns him back into a human, so he can fight the fish-men serving the sorceress. Afterward he and his girlfriend flee the accursed realm and the dragon deposits them back in their own: 

I probably didn't need to include that page, but a bit of nudity never hurts...

"Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe" & Jextorz's "Godzilla" (Hulk Transformation/Muscle Growth)

Thanks again to Andréssaurio Rex for recommending issue 4 of this mini-series, where Bruce Banner transforms into a giant-size Hulk to clobber Godzilla.

 

Staying on the Godzilla theme, here is a Gozilla transformation motion-comic by Jextorz:

 

Project Nemesis (Monster Transformation)

Thanks to Andréssaurio Rex for recommending this six-issue limited series, which shows the bad guy gradually transforming into a Doomsday-like monster. The first images are from issue three:

 

Continuing into issue five:

And issue six:

 

From what I can tell, the villain survives and transforms into his final form, pictured below, but off-panel.
