Partial Transformation	comment	One of the understated traits of shapeshifters is their versatility, not just in having multiple forms they can assume, or people they can impersonate, but by using the stages in between. When a shapeshifter uses a Partial Transformation they can selectively shapeshift a part of their body (often an arm or limb) into their alternate form. This has a lot of potential uses: For example, a shapeshifter needing to open a safe underwater doesn't have to transform into a full fish or shark, but can instead choose just the gills (and perhaps a few fins) to breathe and maneuver underwater, while retaining their human hands to manipulate the safe itself; a vampire thrown off a building could swap out his arms for a pair of bat wings to slow his fall; and a sniper without any surveillance gear could transform his eyes into that of an owl's, cat's, or anything else with enhanced vision. This can also be used for offense and defense, using their alternate form's natural weapons (claws or whatever) as a type of Shapeshifter Weapon while remaining in human form. A second variant of partial transformation occurs when the character "stops" their usual Transformation Sequence "half way" between their forms. For example, a character who can transform between a human and a wolf shape (and we don't necessarily mean a werewolf) may opt to transform into a Wolf Man instead of a "full wolf", combining the advantages of both, like the sharp claws and fangs of their wolf shape while retaining the bipedal mobility of their human form. It goes without saying that these "middle" forms typically look like humanoid animals. One interesting thing about the Partial Transformation is it's usually a "high-level" technique that can be mastered only by the best shapeshifters. A character who has recently acquired Voluntary Shapeshifting must first learn how to shapeshift between their "basic" forms before they have any hope of mixing and matching the elements between them in a helpful manner. Attempting to selectively invoke this without sufficient experience to properly control the transformation can result in some... messy consequences. Phlebotinum Breakdown can also trigger this accidentally, and put the character in great danger; not only by revealing their powers to unaware Muggles, but because the broken transformation can also leave the character "stuck" between forms, possibly in a lot of pain at the same time. Also be warned that attempting to utilize several partial transformations simultaneously may result in a Shape Shifter Mashup, a special case of the shapeshifting Gone Horribly Wrong.

Partial Transformation / int_30a5ebfd	comment	This happens in Naruto with Gaara when sand from his gourd envelops his body and forms an incomplete Shukaku. Naruto's is more complex. After forming the 6th tail, an incomplete skeleton forms and attaches to the V2 cloak. The 7th tail results in a complete skeleton and a full-sized fox-shaped aura. The 8th tail results in the aura being replaced with organic tissue (muscle, organs, eyes), though skin, fur, and tails have yet to be formed. Also fellow jinchuuriki Killer Bee can do this by forming any part of the Hachibi at will. Sasuke also manages it with his cursed seal form, sprouting one of its wings to block an attack. Jugo, the source of the cursed seal transformations, comments that this means Sasuke has complete mastery over its powers (Jugo can do this as well). Members of the Akimichi Clan can shrink and expand their bodies. An advanced application of this seen late into the series is the expansion and contraction of select body parts to perform what's needed with minimal energy expended.

On a few occasions the shifter creates an incomplete body. When Kitz Worman tries to execute Eren by cannon fire, he creates a legless skeletal titan with only one arm to deflect the blast. Later Eren bites his hand hoping to transform, but is unable to. After failing to grab a fork with his injured hand, he accidentally creates a partial and miniature titan body, a vertically bisected torso with no skin. This freaks out his fellow Survey Corp members, except for Levi. When Reiner exposes himself and Bertolt as the Armored and Colossal they both transform. Being on top of the wall, the Colossal does not create any legs, and has an exposes spine and ribs to cling to the wall. This time however, Bertolt is inside the Titan body controlling it just like a complete body.

Partial Transformation / int_5ce3fc86	comment	Another non-werecreature example is in Soul Eater, since some of the Equippable Ally characters can shift parts of themselves into weapons (this tends to be a sign that they're more powerful, with weaker ones partnering up with meisters). The most notable examples being Giriko (who only fully transformed for the first half of his first fight and otherwise just manifested his chain on his limbs) and Justin Law (who's never been seen to fully transform into his Guillotine form). Death Scythes in particular seem to not only be able to turn part of their body into weapons but also make multiple copies of their weapons spring from their body at will. In Soul Eater Not!, it's shown that untrained weapons may not be able to transform fully: before the first chapter Tsugumi didn't even know what her full weapon form was (a halberd) and another student could turn into a sword except the hilt was still shaped like his head. They can even end up doing a partial transformation entirely by accident, suddenly having bits of weapon pop out of their chests. As the first scene of the anime show, this is often how they find out they're Weapons in the first place.

Partial Transformation / int_616039c3	comment	The Incredible Hulk (1977): In the two-part episode "Prometheus", Banner stopped halfway through his transformation. He had some of Banner's personality but much less knowledge, and he was stronger than Banner but not as strong as Hulk. He had his green eyes, but not green skin. It wasn't voluntary, however; it was caused by a nearby meteor emitting a high concentration of gamma rays, and not letting him revert fully to normal. A downplayed example (as the transformation is slowed down rather than stopped) in the episode "747": Banner's second transformation began when he was trying to perform an emergency landing of the eponymous aircraft, following the instructions of the flight controllers on the communicator. He somehow managed to slow the transformation's pace note The flight controllers may have provided an involuntary help in that regard: they constantly urged him to remain in control, meaning control of the aircraft, but it's possible that David's mind interpreted it as control of the transformation., because, while he needed extra strength to move the control stick, which was stuck, he also needed to retain intelligence enough to follow the flight controllers' instructions. He spent the whole landing process in an intermediate state, which was different from the example above, as he was green-skinned this time (but with Banner's features)note It was Banner's actor Bill Bixby under the make-up, rather than Hulk's actor Lou Ferrigno. After the landing, the transformation goes full course (and his intellect goes away), but a teenager that David befriended early on enters the cockpit, helping the Hulk to activate the brakes and stop the plane.

Partial Transformation / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe. Rahne Sinclair could change into a wolf or a transitional state between human and wolf. While still a member of the New Mutants, she was captured and taken to Genosha, where she was turned into a "mutate" slave with no free will of her own. When she was rescued, she found that using her powers restored her free will, but reverting to full-human form put her back in the "mutate" state, so she spent pretty much her entire run as a member of X-Factor in the transitional state, until the Genoshans' damage could be undone. She can and does also alter portions of her body, such as concealing 'transitional' legs under a long skirt for discreet mobility boosts or using a lupine head as a Game Face to run off harassers on a nighttime walk. Fantastic Four: The Super-Skrull is all about this. He's got the usual Skrull shapeshifting and the powers of the Fantastic Four on top of that, which means that if he wanted to he could copy any one of them perfectly. But why do that when he can copy parts of all four at once? Other Skrulls will sometimes produce wings to glide down from a great height. Spider-Man: Sandman's most common form of offense is to shift his arms into sand weapons in a style similar to the T-1000 (although Sandman was already doing this in the comics 2-3 decades before the Terminator films were made). It is also not uncommon for him to assume a giant humanoid sand monster form during battle.

This hybrid form allows Washio to make greater use of his strength and speed, while still allowing him to read the wind with his metallic feathers in order to predict his opponent's moves.

Partial Transformation / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: 1st-2nd Edition AD&D: 1st Edition wererats can change into human, rat or human-sized ratman form. Judging from their illustrations, werewolves and wereboars can change into half-human half-animal forms as well. The wolfwere (a wolf that could take human shape) and greater wolfwere can half-change, thus gaining human arms and legs but keeping their wolf head. In the 1st Edition Oriental Adventures supplement (1985), hengeyokai can change into a transitional bipedal form with arms and hands and the rest of the body in animal form. While in this form the hengeyokai can speak normally, use weapons, armor and equipment, and has infravision. Dragon magazine #265 article "Humanimals" updates the Oriental Adventures hengeyokai for 2nd Edition, by adding twelve new versions. The partial transformations get a bit more complex, since some of them aren't based on quadrupeds. A dolphin hengeyokai's hybrid form grows legs as well as arms, while an octopus hengeyokai essentially grows an entire humanoid body but still has tentacles instead of limbs. Dungeon magazine #66 adventure "The Sunken Shadow". The were-eel named Arkos Seatamer can take one of three forms: a human being, a twelve foot long moray eel, and a monstrous eel/human combination. The combination form has a human trunk, the head and tail of an eel, and human legs that end in flippers. White Dwarf: Issue #19's article "The Fiend Factory" gives a werefox three possible forms: a beautiful woman, a fox, and a bipedal human/fox hybrid. The "Basic" D&D supplement Night Howlers covers rules for player character lycanthropes for that version of the game. Newly infected characters start as "cubs" and have to work their way up to "normal monster" level (splitting experience between human and animal form) to actually get all the standard powers of their were-type. The ability to take the transitional "beast-man" form came most typically only upon reaching 9th level as a were after that. Mystara Monstrous Compendium Appendix: The lycanthropic were-jaguar can take three forms: human, human/jaguar and jaguar. In the RPGA Living Jungle setting, katanga are animal shapeshifters who take three forms: human, their natural animal form, and a half-human/half-animal biped. In 2nd Edition, the jackalwere was given the ability to take a hybrid form that combined its human and jackal forms. Ravenloft: In the Realm of Terror boxed set, most true lycanthropes can assume three forms: human, a specific animal, and a human/animal hybrid. The hybrid has a humanoid form but with animal characteristics (fur, claws, etc.). In the Masque of the Red Death boxed set's "A Guide to Gothic Earth", Lady Michelle LeDeuce is a werefox who can assume three different forms: a silver fox, human being, and a hybrid fox/human. Forgotten Realms: In the 2nd edition supplement Hall of Heroes, new lycanthropes that can change into hybrid forms include werebison, werecats, weredragons and wereleopards. Monstrous Compendium Annual The werebadger can take three forms: a dwarf, a giant badger, or a hybrid form which has a dwarf body with huge claws, thick fur, and a badger's head. Pteramen can assume any of three forms: a small pteranodon with a fifteen foot wingspan, a lizard man without a tail, or a lizard man with webbed wings. Edition 3.0 and 3.5: All werecreatures (a.k.a. lycanthropes) have human, animal and hybrid forms, though it's harder to enter hybrid form than animal form. Shapeshifters in 3.5 can also enter the Warshaper Prestige Class, who can use this ability to sprout claws, elongate his arms, enhance his strength, heal his injuries, and shift his vital organs around. The Aranea is a giant spellcasting spider which can change to either a normal humanoid, or a humanoid with concealed fangs and spinnerets. Wild feats allow a druid to expend a use of their Wild Shape ability to gain a bonus themed after a particular animal (such as the speed of a cheetah), accompanied by a minor physical transformation. It's possible to use wild feats while Wild Shaping, even while Wild Shaping into the animal the feat is based on. The strength of the true form spell allows the caster to use some of their original strength while shapeshifted into a weaker form, its intended users being dragons disguised as humans. The Eberron setting introduced the shifter playable race, sometimes known as "weretouched." These humanoids' trademark ability is "shifting" into more bestial forms, granting them stat boosts according to their subtype. It's not as pronounced a transformation as the hybrid forms of full lycanthropes, but unlike those, the shifter race is balanced to be playable from first level.

One time Rachel goes partly into her elephant morph to scare off a mugger. She succeeded in changing her face, but she also ended up bursting her shoes when her feet also changed. On another occasion Jake partially morphs wolf to disguise his voice. Cassie has a talent for morphing, which she has used to hold a centaur- or angel-like form (by morphing horse and bird, respectively). Also, her ability to morph into the second animal while demorphing from the first saved the day once. The Andalite spirit that shared her mind has to comment that her morphing talent would've made her a hero if she had been born an Andalite. Marco once had Power Incontinence due to stress, causing him to uncontrollably morph into weird chimeras. Andalites know a technique called a Frolis Maneuver, which allowed Ax and Elfangor to create new human morphs by mixing the DNA of multiple individuals. It is unknown if one can use this to mix different species.

However, it should be noted that both Elfman and Lisanna can do the Full Body Take Over as well, though Elfman in the beginning of the series tended to only avail of this trope, due to the fact that the last time he tried, he lost control of himself, and ended up killing Lisanna... Or so it seemed.

Partial Transformation / int_bbcd4e9b	comment	In Digital Devil Saga 2 if you start a battle at high Solar Noise, it's possible that party members will enter the Berserk Mode. During this mode the user will transform only their arm (or in Gale's case, leg) into the demon form. Is a double-edged sword, really - your power attack greatly increases and critical hit become all but assured, but you can't use items and it's a lot easier to miss.

Partial Transformation / int_c2d34f7f	comment	In Sands of Destruction some Ferals can transform into beast forms, but the only ones who do so for a prolonged period of time are the Beastlords. Other Ferals usually transform their limbs into claws for the duration of attack, using the full beast form only as a Limit Break. Rhi'a, being a dragonkin, demonstrates the largest range of partial transformations, being able to turn her hands into claws, sprout tail and wings, and grow her tiny horns into a full-size set. Somewhat strangely, we never see her full dragon form, indicating that full transformation is more difficult to achieve than partial one.

Partial Transformation / int_c346fa94	comment	Rahne Sinclair could change into a wolf or a transitional state between human and wolf. While still a member of the New Mutants, she was captured and taken to Genosha, where she was turned into a "mutate" slave with no free will of her own. When she was rescued, she found that using her powers restored her free will, but reverting to full-human form put her back in the "mutate" state, so she spent pretty much her entire run as a member of X-Factor in the transitional state, until the Genoshans' damage could be undone. She can and does also alter portions of her body, such as concealing 'transitional' legs under a long skirt for discreet mobility boosts or using a lupine head as a Game Face to run off harassers on a nighttime walk.

Partial Transformation / int_c708a06d	comment	In Soul Eater Not!, it's shown that untrained weapons may not be able to transform fully: before the first chapter Tsugumi didn't even know what her full weapon form was (a halberd) and another student could turn into a sword except the hilt was still shaped like his head. They can even end up doing a partial transformation entirely by accident, suddenly having bits of weapon pop out of their chests. As the first scene of the anime show, this is often how they find out they're Weapons in the first place.

Sometimes, this was deliberate, like G1 Scattershot (which was just his spaceship mode with his robot legs folded down so he could walk on them and a cannon deployed from his spaceship's nose) or G1 Jetfire (his jet mode with his arms and legs deployed, due to being a remake of a Macross Super Valkyrie toy). Other times this was accidental, like Siege Impactor, who could be transformed as either a tank turret on legs or his robot torso, arms, and head on tank treads.
