This is, quite literally, the power to manipulate biology and biological lifeforms (mostly animals, usually not plants), also referred to as biomancy, biokinesis, fleshwarping, fleshcrafting and more. Depending on the setting and the power level, it may vary in range (long-range vs. strictly hands-on), comprehensiveness (e.g., can only affect humans), or scope (e.g., limited to the user's own biology). This is potentially a very broad power, with its capabilities including, but not limited to:note Note that all of these abilities may stand on their own Healing Hands and/or Healing Factor, Psychic Surgery, Shapeshifting, Shapeshifter Weapon, Bio-Augmentation and/or Body Horror. Usually a Lovecraftian Superpower when wielded by bad guys. Super-Trope of Master of Your Domain, which is when you manipulate your own biology. Compare with Organic Technology and Artistic License – Biology. Compare also Creating Life, where you can outright create biological lifeforms instead of just manipulating them. |

Worm: Panacea pretends to be just a healer, but it becomes clear that, excluding her own body, she make organic matter do anything with just a touch and a few seconds of thought. Notably, she refuses to treat brain injuries, because The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body and she doesn't trust herself with the power to change people's personalities or thoughts. The moment she actually learns how to do so, she "accidentally" places a family member under More than Mind Control. | |

X-Men: Minor Morlock member Masque has the ability to physically reshape other living creatures with a touch, although he can't use his powers on himself — to his dismay, as he's a mutant with a disfigured face. In a Cerebus Retcon, it was established that most of the Morlocks actually weren't originally hideously deformed, but Masque reshaped all mutants who joined the group in order to make it harder for them to be able to leave the Morlocks and thus betray them, as he was something of a sadist. He was responsible for the brief period of time in which Callisto, the Morlock leader, traded her once-human arms for clusters of boneless green tentacles. | |

A Bad Place to Be a Hero: This world's version of "necromancy" includes any supernatural modification of the human body, including healing. Werewolves and vampires are the result of illegal and unscrupulous necromantic experiments, and it's said that most of them either don't survive their first transformation, or end up horribly disfigured. | |

The Kingmaker Histories: One of the four schools of magic is the art of Fleshcraft, which covers any type of magic that controls living things. This includes healing, shapeshifting, necromancy, and control over plants. Ariadne, the main villain, is the master of this type of magic and the spells she casts can get downright Cronenbergian. | |

Alpha Flight: The villain Scramble the Mixed-Up Man (a.k.a. Dr. Lionel Jeffries) can heal most non-lethal wounds with his touch, but he can also turn people into misshapen lumps of flesh if he so desires. Having gone insane after attempting to put dismembered dead soldiers back together and failing to revive them, he decidedly skews toward the latter, until his brother Madison forces Lionel to use his powers on his own brain, apparently curing him. However, when Lionel's attempt to give double-amputee Roger Bochs new legs failed (due to him using a cadaver's legs, which subsequently decayed), he absorbs Roger into his own body and became the monstrous Omega, before he's ultimately killed by Madison using Roger's Box robot. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-040 ("Evolution's Child") has the anomalous ability of manipulating living matter. She uses it to modify existing life forms to create new ones. Her creations include SCP-040-1a (a Voluntary Shapeshifter she wears like a sweater, formerly a cat), SCP-040-1c (a Living Gasbag that can play music), and SCP-040-1j (a four-legged, eyeless creature that can Wall Crawl). This ability extends to reanimating dead bodies, although the resuscitated person had no memories of their former life and the intelligence of a toddler. This is the hat of the Sarkic cults, a Religion of Evil that venerates material power, especially over flesh. They stole it from the Daevites, an equally evil Predecessor Villain whom the Sarkicist slave uprising overthrew. Sarkic articles and stories usually revolve around monsters (or even buildings) that used to be people, and their Karcist high priests often transform themselves into full-on Humanoid Abominations. |

New X-Men: Academy X: Elixir can manipulate another person's cells with a touch. He primarily uses it to heal his teammates, but sometimes he can also use it offensively such as by giving his enemies tumors. He's classified as "Omega level", which implies this is the bare minimum of his potential, and he would have stayed that way if the Stepford Cuckoos never telepathically transcribed all of Hank McCoy's knowledge of biology into him. In an alternate future shown in Venom: The End, Venom, who has access to his and every other mutant's powers, uses his ability to genetically engineer mutant clone armies whose powers are far stronger or specific than their originals, making "meat gardens" out of entire planets. | |

Pathfinder: Fleshwarping is a process through which the appearance and biology of a living creature are altered, sometimes drastically, through magical and alchemical means. It's a very common practice among the drow, who learned of it from Haagenti, the demon lord of alchemy and change, and comes in two distinct types: Fleshcrafting is the less extreme variant, where only a relatively minor part of a being is altered. It's often done at the request of a willing patient, who will use it to grow some new appendage — scorpion claws, spider fangs, a chitinous shell, an eyestalk, and so on — to suit their current purposes. These can be temporary changes that will wither and fall off after a while or can be permanent additions. True fleshwarping involves the submersion of the subject into a brew of mutagens, alchemical reagents, and flesh-eating bacteria, which will reshape, warp, and replace the victim's tissues until they either die or emerge into a new and usually grotesque shape. There's a strong pattern regarding the fleshwarp created by a specific "input" — fleshwarped drow always become driders, for instance, while elves become horrific, barely mobile and pain-wracked horrors of twisted flesh and broken bone, humans turn into mindless slug-like beings, gnomes into fleshy, immobile, mushroom-like things, orcs into centaurine centipede people, and so on. Alghollthus naturally secrete a slime that can be used to cause physiological changes in both the alghollthus themselves and other creatures, or to serve as a substrate for more fine-tuned genetic engineering. They have historically made prolific use of this, shaping themselves into a variety of specialized forms and transforming other creatures into a variety of servants, soldiers, and guardian monsters. |

Dungeons & Dragons: The concept of powerful wizards being able to shape and manipulate flesh with magic often features in the background lore for various monsters throughout D&D's editions and settings, but the ability is rarely placed directly into player's hands, due to the ease with which it could be abused. The Sarrukh Creator Race had the ability to shape and alter non-Sarrukh reptilian creatures. This serves as an explanation for the sheer variety of reptilian creatures in the Forgotten Realms, often with only minor differences to other types — the standard Sarrukh solution to a new problem was making a new creature to solve it. The Daelkyr of Eberron are particularly renowned for their skill at twisting life to suit their own purposes, be they practical (creating Slave Races) or just out of their own warped senses of aesthetics. Second edition had a wizard kit called a merlane, who specialised in altering animal biology, ranging from unnatural fur colour to creating things like owlbears. |

In Steven Universe, Rose Quartz is known for her healing tears and control of plant life. However, she was actually Pink Diamond in disguise, and the plant specialization was merely a strategy to disguise her real power over life in general. The ability that brings the plants to sentience, sapience, and mobility is actually the same one that heals the injured, raises the dead, and gives the same sentience, sapience, and mobility to inanimate objects: the liquid secreted from her Gem form bestows life and the replenishing of that life to all that comes in contact with it. | |

Jujutsu Kaisen: The scope of Mahito's ability to reshape human flesh, including his own, runs the full course between Healing Hands, Shapeshifting and Bio-Augmentation as long as he can get his hands on someone. Too bad his view on turning people into Junji Ito monstrosities and sprouting weaponized limbs mid-battle is just about the same as on the other things he enjoys like playing board games or football. When Mahito doesn't have time to "play" with his victim, he'll simply aim to make their body explode. | |

The Blood Ladders: Female magic is based around the body while male magic affects the external world. Female magic is usually used for healing or transformation but it's discovered that it can be used for destructive purposes as well, and since the magic doesn't care whether the "body" in question is alive or not it proves to be one of the more effective weapons against the undead. | |

Fallen London: Shapeling Arts, a power that allows for the manipulation of biomatter alive and dead with the right tools and energies, is one of the game's Advanced Skills. You use it for a variety of things from changing yourself on the fly (shifting your organs around to avoid a stab, passing yourself through small holes and non-Euclidean barriers) to merging skeletons together into ever more interesting forms in order to sell them later. Rubbery Men are the original experts and mentors in the area, and their Amber pieces are essentially the "batteries" where they keep the necessary energies. | |

Perdido Street Station: Biotaumaturgy is magic through which flesh can be altered and reshaped. It's most notably used to turn criminals, political dissidents, and other undesirables into the Remade, whose bodies have been twisted into grotesque shapes to serve the roles they have been enslaved to fulfill. | |

In Star Wars Legends (the former Expanded Universe), Jedi can use this power to heal themselves or others of wounds, rather than unethical genetic engineering experiments like the Sith like to do. | |

Empowered: Fleshmaster is one of these, capable of some rather versatile tricks including healing, LEGO Genetics, and shapeshifting. He started out as a superhero but found little success and was known mostly for being a Casanova Wannabe (the common joke was saying he was the master of his own flesh and nobody else's), until he ended up on the receiving end of a Carrie esque humiliation. This resulted in him disappearing, training up his abilities, and reinventing himself as Pintsized Powerhouse hero dWARf!, before ultimately becoming a supervillain out of revenge. Towards the end of his career, he'd become particularly horrifying. | |

Unknown Armies has the magical school of Epideromancy, which is entirely built around this power. Adepts of this school can heal any injury that is not self-inflicted and can reshape themselves and others if they have enough charges. Those walking the Avatar path of the Archetype known as the Freak also have the ability to warp flesh intuitively in the same manner as Epideromancers; the tie-in novel Godwalker shows the current Freak using its powers to engage in Voluntary Shapeshifting and Gendershifting, as well as healing itself and others. | |

Revenge of the Sith: One key example occurs when Palpatine asks Anakin Skywalker if he's ever heard of "the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise". He claims it's an old legend about a Sith Lord who was so skilled at controlling life that he could create life itself and even stop others from dying, something the Jedi had no idea about. Palpatine leaves out the detail that Plagueis was, in fact, his own master, and that the apprentice who murdered Plagueis was himself. And that since he lived recently, it's entirely possible that Plagueis created Anakin, who has no biological father. | |
