Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Combinations from a Fusion Dance tend to retain specific traits of the mergers. The Composite and Mixed Form Shapeshifter varieties tend to retain traits from all of the merging components, while the Power Booster and Switcher usually take the appearance of one component then retain the abilities of the others. Those of Two Beings, One Body are more varied and either treatment works for different cases. However, there are instances of resulting fusions that are too different from their components. It could be that their fusion takes them apart on the atomic level and puts them back together in a way that it might as well be an entirely new body, or it involves some Shapeshifting but Morphic Resonance is just unnecessary for the process. Whatever the case may be, none of the fused components are recognizable in the result just by mere observation. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })When the fusion's anomaly is unintentional, it's a Merging Mistake. It can overlap with Fusion Dissonance if the mistake deforms the result enough for the components to be unrecognizable. Compare with Random Species Offspring, for mismatching results from a different kind of combination. Examples: |

Some games have Special Fusion, which requires specific components to create a predetermined demon. Even then, these are usually grouped by themes or mythological connections rather than appearances. For example, in Shin Megami Tensei IV, fusing the jealous goddess Aramisaki requires Skogsra, Bai Suzhen, and Lorelei, female beings who charm men from various mythologies. Each game has their own Special Fusions, and one game's Special Fusion demon might have different components, or even just be a regular demon. | |

As shown in the anime examples, a lot of fusions in Digimon do not have Morphic Resonance to their components, but Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue and Red exaggerate it. As there are too many to mention, let's just take a few: Patamon is a guinea pig with bat wings that can combine with Kuramon (spiky ball with one eye) to form IceDevimon (a humanoid demon with long arms and tattered wings). Or, in the Blue version, with Otamamon (tadpole), Wormmon (caterpillar), and Piximon (a Cephalothorax fairy) to form Calumon (a Carbuncle Creature with Ear Wings). Calumon's components make more sense in the Red version because it replaces everyone except for Piximon with Lopmon, Lunamon, and Terriermon (all with bodies with stubby arms and legs and rounded cutesy heads similar to Calumon's). Kuramon can also combine with Dracmon (looks like a kid vampire with eyes in its palms) and DemiDevimon (a Cephalothorax demon) into Bakemon. Togemon (a cactus with boxing gloves) can combine with Yanmamon and Kabuterimon (a heavily stylized rhinoceros beetle) to form Lillymon (a fairy with leaves for wings and petals for hair and skirt). In the Digimon Adventure continuity and some of the other games, Togemon can evolve to Lillymon without fusion. Monzaemon is combined from Sukamon, Numemon (a slug), and Apemon. Goblimon and Armadillomon fuse into Minotarumon, which is pretty faithful to Classical Mythology except for its mechanical left hand. Coelamon may only slightly resemble a coelacanth but it resembles its components (Crabmon and Syakomon) even less. Crabmon can evolve into Coelamon without fusion in other games. |

Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger: In the first episode, the Akibarangers encounter two Meido cosplaying as the Elegant Gothic Lolita Dark Chicks Nai and Mea who, instead of combining into the more thematically relevant vampire Vancuria like the originals, combines into the male aphid-themed Shibuyaseitakaawadachisohidenagaaburamushi. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: Oblivio is actually two people fused together (Alya and Nino). As a purple humanoid mist with no facial features and has overlapping deep voices, it was hard to tell who they were originally. Even the akumatized item was changed from a computer tablet to a hand cannon. Heart Hunter's two faces do not resemble both André and Audrey Bourgeois but unlike Oblivio, there are people around to see them transform. |

Every Shin Megami Tensei game that has fusion mechanics usually have resultant demons that don't resemble their components except for some inherited skills. Regular fusions use a formula based on the fused demons' races and levels to determine the fusion result. Because the result is calculated by an algorithm rather than pre-determined, it always result in a demon that looks nothing like its components. For example, you can fuse a goddess, The Devil, and a dragon then end up with a penis monster among other possibilities. Seriously. Some games have Special Fusion, which requires specific components to create a predetermined demon. Even then, these are usually grouped by themes or mythological connections rather than appearances. For example, in Shin Megami Tensei IV, fusing the jealous goddess Aramisaki requires Skogsra, Bai Suzhen, and Lorelei, female beings who charm men from various mythologies. Each game has their own Special Fusions, and one game's Special Fusion demon might have different components, or even just be a regular demon. About the only aversion of this trope in the series is the demon Ardha, who is usually made by fusing Shiva and Parvati, and actually looks like a fusion of the two. |

In Bomberman Tournament: For each dungeon, you need to fuse two karabons to be able to open the final gate. Three of those four require Cartoon Creatures, so that doesn't seem too weird, but the fourth one requires mixing an eel (Unagi) with a pegasus (Youni) to create a winged sea-serpent (SeaWing). By this description, it might seem like it would just retain Unagi's body and Youni's wings but that isn't the case. SeaWing's head has a different shape compared to either component's, its scales' pattern is different from Unagi's, and while Youni has hooves and feathered wings, SeaWing has claws and webbed wings. Afterwards, the boss will further fuse with the karabon you just fused to become a monster. All of the bosses are bomber-cyborgs (practically bombermen, humanoid but with mechanical parts), but most of the monsters have barely any relation with the components. To specify: MagnetBomber fuses with Pommy Fangs (a fanged electric ball) to create MagnetDragon (a long mechanical dragon). PrettyBomber fuses with Pommy Sea◊ (a Pommy variant with fins) to create PrettyBalloon (a fat Tentacled Terror). PlasmaBomber fuses with Pommy Dragon to create PlasmaRock. The only aversion is GolemBomber fusing with the aforementioned sea-serpent to create GolemGhost (a zombie-controlling phantom). The fusion retains GolemBomber's head but with different colors. |

Played with in Steven Universe. Gem fusions have some features from each of their components, but usually put a unique twist on them and/or have features that aren't clearly traceable to any component. The more components a fusion has, the less influence from each one is visible. Take the five-Gem fusion Obsidian, for instance - if you couldn't see the signature gemstones of her components on her body, it'd be hard to tell who she's made of. | |

In Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010, the Dummy Dopant and Neo Organism combined into Ultimate D, whose only resemblance is to the former's humanoid shape. This is justified since both creatures can shapeshift. The linked images are just their Shapeshifter Default Form and "larval form" respectively and the latter transformed into Doras (a humanoid Big Creepy Crawly like Ultimate D but that's the only thing they have in common) earlier in the movie. That ability wasn't exhibited during its fight against Decade and W however, implying that it underwent Shapeshifter Mode Lock. | |

Bastion, an enemy of the X-Men, was originally two separate characters: Master Mold and Nimrod. The former being the leader of the Sentinel robots, who was giant sized because his body was supposed to be a factory to manufacture more of them, and the latter being an advanced pink and white Sentinel from the Bad Future of Days of Future Past's Alternate Timeline. The two of them were pushed into a mystic gate called the Siege Perilous at the exact same time and eventually reappeared as a normal-looking android who retained both machines' hatred for mutants. | |

Magic: The Gathering: The Innistrad block drew heavily on Lovecraftian imagery and saw the return of Emrakul and the Eldrazi. The block also introduced the "Meld" mechanic, where if you had certain cards in play, they would fuse into some horrific abomination of nature. For instance, the angels Bruna and Gisela would meld to form Brisela. | |

Digimon Frontier: The forms achieved through Fusion Spirit Evolution are normally created by mixing and matching parts from the earlier Human and Beast Spirit Evolution forms (which, in the toyline, also have an alternate combination representing the ancient Digimon who created them). However, supplemental material includes Fusion forms for the supporting cast which couldn't possibly be replicated by a toy - e.g. the Ice fusion combining a snowman and a yeti into a penguin. | |
