The power to transform yourself or other objects can be pretty fun. Testing your luck with a Random Effect Spell can also be pretty fun. When the two things are combined, however... The result is that you're gambling with chance, but in a way that can leave permanent effects, good or bad. Most often this is a game trope, where the ability to randomly transform something or someone is hard-coded and can affect how you play. You might end up getting what you always wanted...or you might be stuck with something horrible. You choose to roll the dice, gambling over potentially permanent changes just for the thrill of it. In Tabletop Games this is often flipped into being an attack or defense ability that randomizes things for your opponent. In another medium, this random transformation is something that just happens in-universe to something or someone, usually more than once, in order to show off the odds of it going horribly wrong. It's the characters who become affected rather than the audience, so this can be used for both comedy and horror depending on the context. They rolled the dice, or had the dice rolled for them, and either lucked out or lost everything for the sake of an experiment. Sometimes in this case there is a predetermined outcome, but the characters don't know what it'll be beforehand, still making it come off as randomized even if it's technically not. Note that what is transformed doesn't matter. Creatures, objects, and more can all qualify as long as they're altered by random chance. Also note that while the transformation usually carries a risk of permanence, temporary versions can still count as being downplayed. Compare Random Effect Spell, where the results are even more unpredictable. At least here, you know something will be turned into something else, the question is just... what?

Ancient Domains of Mystery: Corruption is one of the central themes during your adventure to save the lands from an ultimate evil. Your character will experience corruptions on your journey, usually in the form of random physical deformities. Certain corrupting artifacts are needed to get the better endings of the game, so just carrying or using them will guarantee some form of corruption. Very rarely will players ever be given a chance to undo these random transformations, usually in the form of a Genie or a blessed potion. | |

In Diablo II, Charsi the Blacksmith will imbue an item for you after you complete her quest. The item will become more useful and powerful, but the effects are completely random, cannot be undone, and she'll only do it once. For this reason, players often wait until they have a really good item before having her imbue it. | |

Board Game Online: The Quantum Physicist class is entirely based on RNG. One of their abilities involves changing items into other random items, which can sometimes affect items in other player's inventories. The Improbability Device can be used to transform items into other items. The Dark Spell "Polymorph" can turn a player into a random animal, forcing them to gain karma to turn back. |

The Binding of Isaac: The D4 transforms all of Isaac's held items except itself into other items at complete random, completely changing his current playstyle. This can also be done by a 1 or 6 pip Dice Room. Since many of the items change Isaac's appearance, it also heavily changes what Isaac looks like. Clicker turns your current character into a different random character on use, with the one restriction that it can't turn normal characters into Tainted characters and vice versa. This can be used to cheese unlocks by playing the game as an easy character then hoping to Clicker into a harder character just as an unlock-gating boss is about to die. Tainted Eden's gimmick is that every single time they take damage that's not considered self-harm by the gamenote Sacrifice Room spikes, blood donation machines, Razor Blade, and so on, their entire stats list and item inventory is re-rolled, as if they rolled a D4 die with every hit. Birthright helps offset this, as items Tainted Eden already had before picking up Birthright will be safe from further randomization. |

Dungeons & Dragons: The spell reincarnate brings the target back from the dead in a new body of a random species. Prior to 3.5 Edition, the new form was most likely to be an animal or something even more exotic; later editions at least limit the options to humanoid species. Wild Magic can sometimes cause random temporary and permanent transformations, ranging from blue skin to turning into a plant. The Sibriex is a type of demon that has the power of flesh-warping and can force a random transformation on a creature that is affected by its Warp Creature ability or that willingly submits to being transformed. Example transformations include the target's arms and legs swapping places (preventing them from moving unless they crawl), growing an additional head or their eyes pushing out of their head on stalks. |

Neopets: While most methods of altering your pets inform you of what the transformation will be, there are a few ways to get a completely random result: The most famous way is to just go to the Secret Lab and let your pet be experimented on, with a chance of having their color or species changed. The same is true of Petpets and the Petpet Lab Ray. The ray is one of the only ways to get certain colors. One of the discontinued random events involved getting drenched with random paint water from the sky. This painted your pet a random color. While fishing, you can find a "Flask of Rainbow Fountain Water", which also grants a random color. There's also the "Mysterious Swirly Potion" which can change your pet to a random limited-edition species. A few items have a more limited effect, turning your pet into one of the four base colors (red, blue, green, or yellow) at random. These items include Turnip Tonic, Rainbow Swirly Potion, the Kaleideonegg, and the Vortex Negg. The Witchy Negg has the option to turn your pet into a Lenny, Tuskaninny, or Moehog. |

Moana has to save him from Tamatoa, and his spirit is broken because he cannot control his transformations. It takes a while and a lot of encouragement from Moana and Mini-Maui for him to try again, but it works when they suggest that Maui start with small animals.

Chopper from One Piece can normally shift between three different forms thanks to his Devil Fruit abilities, and also developed a special drug called a Rumble Ball that gives him access to an additional four forms for a brief period of time. However, should he take more than one Rumble Ball in a six hour period, then he'll start randomly shifting between all seven forms without any way to shift consciously until the drug's effects run their course. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Exaggerated by Chaos Warp, which shuffles a permanent back into its owner's library, then the owner looks at the top card of their library and puts it on the battlefield if it's a permanent card. This means that a creature hit by the spell may turn into a completely different creature, or a different card type altogether. Tibalt's Trickery effectively takes a spell and turns it into a random spell from the library of the original spell's owner.note The "Choose 1, 2, or 3 at random. Its controller mills that many cards." clause is there to keep the spell's owner from stacking their deck to be guaranteed to get what they want. |

Noita has several examples, most notably the spell modifier Chaotic Transmutation, which can turn a substance into a random other liquid or powder, and the magical liquid Chaotic Polymorphine, which if splashed onto any creature (including the player) will transform it into another random creature. | |

Sky: Children of the Light: Downplayed with the Resize spells, which permanently change the height of your in-game avatar to a random value between "child-sized" and "a head taller than the default". The only way to change your height if you don't like the result is to use another Resize spell and hope for a better roll. | |

Goblins: The author of the comic tended to have wildly random elements. One is a wheel found in Cursewalk, and spinning it causes a transformation into another species. Idle got Goblin as the first spin and did a second spin to have it land on Rabbit. | |

Strong Bad Email: In "redesign", Strong Bad updates his No Loafing sign to make it look more modern. But instead of choosing the new color scheme himself, he uses "Color Wheel Roulette" to decide, and winds up with a drab palette of browns, yellows, and greens. | |
