Whenever there's a werewolf, or werepanther, or were-rabbit, or were-whatever, and this has not been made clear to the characters yet, there has to be at least one scene in which one of the human characters discovers a set of animal footprints which change into human footprints (or vice versa) as the characters follow them along. A great way to set up tension. If the human footprints started as clearly done by shoed feet, they might find his shoes discarded or torn apart nearby, when not his entire outfit turned into shreds. Of course, there's a small amount of Fridge Logic involved in this trope, as werewolves are rarely if ever depicted as walking during their transformation. Either they're standing in place or hunched on all fours. See also Wolf Man, Our Werewolves Are Different and Our Werebeasts Are Different. May overlap with Footprints of Muck. |

In the "Moonlight Madness" episode of Aladdin: The Series, Aladdin and Iago come across a young lady's footprints which gradually change into those of a jackal. This leads the two of them to think that the strange woman who's been trying to scare them away has just been eaten by a jackal, instead of realizing that she is said jackal. | |

Used in one Cthulhu Mythos story, where Nyarlathotep takes the form of a colleague of the protagonist. The protagonist realises something is amiss when he finds his friend's clothes stewn around outside the house and footprints that gradually change from human prints to something left by an enormous creature clearly not from this world. | |

Cry of the Werewolf shows the pivotal event in the backstory, Marie La Tour murdering her husband, as a result of this. The husband found suspicious wolf prints entering their house and followed them right up to her, upon which she promptly turned back into a Werewolf and then mauled him to death before fleeing. Her descendant Celeste returns to the crime scene years later to prevent a book about the incident from being published. | |

In the American Dad! episode "Finances With Wolves" an encounter with a wolf convinces Steve that he's becoming a werewolf. This fear is reinforced when he wakes up to find bloodstained wolf prints in his bedroom. But actually the prints were left by the real wolf, which Roger is attempting to keep as a pet. | |

Steven Universe: Discussed: in the episode "Gem Hunt", Steven and Connie are chasing after a Corrupted Gem and come across a destroyed field with sets of both humanoid boot prints and the monster's foot prints, seemingly switching between them. While setting up camp, Steven and Connie talk about the possibility that the Corrupted Gem is somehow trying to return to her original form, and maybe isn't as corrupted as they originally thought. Unfortunately, this isn't the case: those boot prints belonged to Jasper, who was also chasing after the Corrupted Gem to capture her. | |

Phineas and Ferb: One of the Halloween episodes, "That's the Spirit", has a scene where Doofenshmirtz looks back at a muddy trail of hoof prints that shift into human foot prints. Played With: In ''Night Of the Living Pharmacist", the opening shows ordinary foot prints turn into Doof's foot prints. And then showing Perry's foot prints turning into Doof's foot prints. |

The Legend of Vox Machina: In "The Terror of Tal'Dorei, Part 1," Vox Machina discover a set of this kind of footprints while trying to hunt the beast that's been terrorizing the land. They shortly after find out that the beast is a blue dragon, which hands them a Curb-Stomp Battle. In Part 2, they find out that the blue dragon is a member of the Tal'Dorei Council, General Krieg. | |

Animorphs: When the Animorphs are on a beach and realize that Controllers are closing in on them, everyone's first instinct is to morph to seagulls and escape — except Marco, who reminds the others that if they did that, they'd leave human to bird footprints in the sand. Instead, they run into the water and morph to fish. | |

The first scene follows a line of footprints in the sand from the water's edge, showing the transformation from human footprints into paw prints. This is a visual summary of how the Shallow Sea transformed humans into the first Faunus. | |

Lost Tapes: A typical example occurs in "Skinwalker", but not in "Werewolf" or other episodes involving shapeshifters, interestingly enough. A pair of men at Skinwalker Ranch in New Mexico are investigating a coyote problem and finds pawprints in the dirt which turn into human footprints. There's even a transitional footprint where it looks human but still has clawmarks at the end of the toes. | |

When Beffica and Gramble witness a mysterious creature breaking into town in Bugsnax, one of the pieces of evidence you can discover is pawprints (in this case, the "human" equivalent as everyone is a muppet-like creature) leading to the outhouse and nondescript circles leading out (which the flavor text helpfully identifies for you as bugsnax tracks). | |

The very low-budget Animorphs TV series featured this at least once to show how Ax got through a locked door. Human sneakerprints yielded to Andalite hoofprints to lizard tracks that went under the door, then hoofprints again, then sneakers and Ax in human form. All in such clear black prints that it looked like he'd paused every couple of steps to dip the relevant appendages in tar. | |

Wolves in Wolf's Rain are a variant that project Human Disguises without actually transforming. So instead of the footprints changing along the trail, they always leave wolf footprints that don't match their apparent source. | |
