Sometimes, when a person undergoes a Forced Transformation or become Brainwashed and Crazy, they completely lose their minds and become beasts, but other times they can keep some parts of their minds intact and recognise loved ones even when they display otherwise animalistic behavior. This trope is somewhat prevalent in Werewolf Works when they want to make said lycanthropes more sympathetic. In some cases, they are completely monstrous at first, but an I Know You're In There speech can snap them back to their senses. Interestingly, this trope rarely happens with villainous characters who usually keep their full intelligence or lose their minds completely whenever they change into monsters. Compare Fighting from the Inside for when the original benevolent personality actively fights against a new influence in their mind when they became monstrous. Related to Sheep in Wolf's Clothing, when the transformation becomes a tactical advantage in the fight against other monsters. Sub-Trope of Face–Monster Turn. Examples |

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School: Izuru Kamakura, Hajime Hinata after being engineered into The Worlds Strongest Man, retains almost none of his original memories or personality, becoming an incredibly powerful but apathetic being who struggles to find attachment to anyone or anything. The exception though is for his Love Interest Chiaki, the one bit of Hajime's personality that carried over into his. | |

Bloodborne: Ludwig "the Accursed" is a horrific mashup of human and horse parts that form a pained, malformed beast vaguely resembling a centaur. He spends his entire boss fight aggressively screeching and clawing at his opponent. But once he sees the Moonlight Greatsword, his signature weapon as a human, his warrior-like demeanor and personality return, and he fights the player in a graceful duel, his moniker changing to Ludwig "the Holy Blade". | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: A heartbreaking example occurs when Shou Tucker decides to fuse his daughter, Nina, and his dog, Alexander, in order to create a talking chimera. The creature that comes of it looks largely doglike with long, brown hair, and sits quietly most of the time aside from wondering about its 'daddy' and asking to be played with. Unfortunately, the process cannot be reversed and it remains like that until Scar kills it. | |

Attack on Titan: The mindless "pure" Titans seen throughout the series are a horrifying take on this trope. As former humans who are permanently absorbed into their Titan forms, they are driven mostly by the zombie-like urge to devour any normal human they come across, but a select few are shown to retain traces of their original personality. The "House Titan" is a Titan that lies sprawled on top of a house, completely unable to move due to its malformed limbs. Said Titan is also Connie's mother, and when Connie first encounters her, not only does she recognize her son, but even manages to mutter "Welcome home." The "Talking Titan" is another Titan capable of Hulk Speak, who used to be a member of a cult that worshipped a messiah figure, and is still conscious enough to make a shrine dedicated to said messiah out of a hollowed-out tree. When Ilse Langnar, a member of the Survey Corps, comes across it, the Titan mistakes her for the messiah and instead of immediately attacking, it bows to Ilse, much to her confusion. Even after the Titan eventually ends up biting Ilse's head off in a fit of Sanity Slippage, it still makes sure to tenderly place her corpse inside the shrine. |

The Incredible Hulk (1977) goes even further than the comics do, despite this version of the Hulk having less intellect than the Savage Hulk: besides saving those Banner cares about and attacking those who wronged Banner, Hulk tends to finish whichever task Banner intended to do before the transformation, including: going to a specific location; using a water tank to save people from fire; open a large water valve, etc. | |

Big Hero 6: The Series: In "Big Problem", the heroes fight a mutant monster that keeps quoting Shakespeare. After some investigation, they figure out that the monster is millionaire Orso Knox, who had been mutated by experimental gene altering technology, trying to cry out for help with quotations by the Bard. In two-parts episode "City of Monsters", Karmi is turned into a mutant creature and forced to kidnap and later try to kill Hiro, on Di's order. But as Hiro gives her an "I Know You're in There Somewhere" speech, she snaps out of Di's control and proceeds to fight against Di's right-hand man Chris. |

Dungeons & Dragons: In early versions of the game, The Polymorph Other and Polymorph Any Object spell can change one living thing into another. There is a chance (based on the intelligence of the target and the hit dice of each form) that the target will keep their original mind. If they do, each day the polymorph continues, they must check again to see if they acquire their new form's mentality. The 3.5 Edition Libris Mortis says that successfully reminding an undead of its mortal life might alleviate its Always Chaotic Evil instincts for a short time; for example, to permit a would-be victim to leave alive, or at least give them a head start. Mind flayers, who reproduce by taking over human bodies, will sometimes inherit Character Tics that the body's original occupant possessed. They are extremely careful to hide this from others of their kind, in part because of fears of "The Adversary" - a theoretical mind flayer whose personality was completely subsumed by their host's, leading them to become a Hunter of Their Own Kind, though Word of God states that this scenario is just superstition and not actually possible. |

Power Rangers Mystic Force: The reason Koragg believes in Honor Before Reason despite being a villain is because he is actually Leanbow, Udonna's husband who has been brainwashed into serving the forces of darkness. Despite making him switch sides, they could not completely erase his sense of honor. This also goes for the original Sentai version, Mahou Sentai Magiranger, with Koragg's counterpart Wolzard. However, in this case, while part of it is his pride as an honorable warrior, it's mostly implied to be increasingly flimsier justifications made as a result of Wolzard's original self, Blagel/Isamu, recognizing the Ozu siblings as his children and not wanting to hurt them. It's eventually revealed that Wolzard's apparent defeat of Miyuki/MagiMother at the beginning of the series actually involved teleporting her away at the last second, because Blagel's love for his wife intervened. |

Slightly Damned: Usually when demons go berserk they are just mindless killing machines, but this trope has occurred twice thanks to Buwaro's star pendant. When Sakido goes berserk during the escape from Hell she accidentally grabs Buwaro's pendant when trying to kill him, thus regaining partial sanity. She stops attacking and carries Rhea and Buwaro toward the ascension. Later on, Buwaro drinks a red strength potion and involuntarily goes berserk, but he was still wearing his pendant so he still has enough of his mind to go save Kieri from some other demons. |

The Batman vs. Dracula: Even after being turned into one of Dracula's vampires, Joker still manages to retain most of his individuality (though he is unable to confess where Dracula's lair is), intellect, and can still talk normally but in a slightly raspier tone, with virtually no difference to how he was when he was alive. This is probably due to him having Insanity Immunity. | |

Count Yorga: Erica is targeted by and eventually turned by Yorga to become one of his vampire brides. Near the end, a fellow bride and she try to ambush Micheal, but he fends them off with his stake stick. However, where her fellow bride runs off, Erica remains still and actually gives him an opportunity to stake her, implying what little humanity she has left is giving him a chance to stop her. However, he can't go through with it and leaves her be, to which she responds by hissing at him, fully giving in to the vampirism. When she, along with her fellow bride, confront him again at the end of the movie, she doesn't pause in her attack that time. | |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 1, the Telethia are revealed to be the original form of the High Entia, which they revert to when exposed to high concentrations of Ether. While most of them lose sentience and become instantly hostile servants of Zanza when this happens, some Telethia can be found close to their surviving relatives, as if they are still watching over them. One of the victims, prince Kalian, manages to hold onto his sense of self long enough to say goodbye to his sister Melia shortly before dying. With Zanza gone in Future Connected, the Telethia become much less hostile and even help the party at times, and Teelan is convinced that in time, it may be possible to change them back to their old selves. | |

Berserk Many Apostles retain full control of their personalities when fully transformed. Unfortunately, since they pretty much all work for Griffith or oppose the protagonist, they aren't exactly benevolent in the first place (becoming an Apostle requires the sacrifice of someone you hold dear). Bishop Mozguz' Quirky Miniboss Squad's last thoughts were of gratitude for their boss having shown them kindness in a Crapsack World (he employed them as torturers, but they never seemed sadistically evil, seeming to genuinely believe they were leading sinners to redemption). |

The Incredible Hulk is frequently portrayed as something of Gentle Giant when he is not under attack and will go out of his way to save those close to him as Banner and sometimes even save Innocent Bystanders. | |

At the end of season 2 of Skylanders Academy, Spyro is corrupted by Strykore and turned into Dark Spyro. The next season has Dark Spyro be given the task of infiltrating the academy to uncover its secrets and destroy it, while also attempting to corrupt other skylanders. However, Spyro's original personality sprouts every now and then, causing him to pull back at times. This causes the rest of the skylanders to realize what happened to Spyro and they have him chained up to extract the evil from him, which results in Spyro and Dark Spyro becoming separate from one another. | |

This also goes for the original Sentai version, Mahou Sentai Magiranger, with Koragg's counterpart Wolzard. However, in this case, while part of it is his pride as an honorable warrior, it's mostly implied to be increasingly flimsier justifications made as a result of Wolzard's original self, Blagel/Isamu, recognizing the Ozu siblings as his children and not wanting to hurt them. It's eventually revealed that Wolzard's apparent defeat of Miyuki/MagiMother at the beginning of the series actually involved teleporting her away at the last second, because Blagel's love for his wife intervened. | |

Final Fantasy X: The world of Spira is under constant attack from a giant monster called Sin, which Summoners can temporarily banish by sacrificing one of their companions to become an aeon, which then slowly becomes the next Sin. The incarnation fought in the game turns out to be Tidus' father Jecht, a pro blitzball player like his son, and still sufficiently self-aware to attack Zanarkand and bring Tidus to Spira (not to mention not attacking Bevelle and its blitzball stadium). When Jecht is fought for real, Tidus can talk to him to interrupt his spells, but this only works twice. | |

In The Elric Saga, the hero Elric fights a shapeless blob-monster that periodically sprouts arms and limbs for just long enough to wield weapons. Killing it with the Black Blade Stormbringer, the monster identifies itself as "Frank..." before dying. Elric, who is yet to know his destiny as the Eternal Hero, fated to die and be reborn a million times, is puzzled, recognising something significant is happening but he does not know what. He is yet to live a life where the Hero is called Jerry Cornelius, who is betrayed by his brother Frank. However, Frank's progress through Time is taking him in the opposite direction. He certainly knows who Elric is. Or will be. And the realisation gives him that sentient memory just before dying... | |

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Wolfsbane potion has this effect on werewolves. Without the potion, they turn into murderous rampaging beasts, such as Remus Lupin does at the end of the book. In the film adaptation, Sirius tries to invoke this, telling the shapeshifting Lupin to stay himself inside, without success. | |

Played with in GURPS with the Residual Personality quirk, which is exclusive to shape-changers. With it, mental traits from your "primary form" manifest at a reduced level in your other forms. | |

The zombies from School-Live! manage to retain some of their memories from when they were alive, behaving in the manner they would normally. An example being the zombified high school students who still follow their schedules, arriving during the morning and leaving when it's time to go home. | |

Durarara!!: After seeing Kujiragi kiss and slice Shinra with Saika, Celty goes berserk, transforming into an amorphous shadow monster and chases Kujiragi across Ikebukuro. While Kujiragi remarks that although Celty is mindless in this state, she's still hellbent on attacking Kujiragi and getting Shinra back. | |
