Transformation Horror	comment	Transformation Horror is a subtrope of Body Horror involving graphic and unsettling transformation sequences (not the trope) or continuous random mutation. This can occur in the process of both Involuntary and Voluntary Shapeshifting, and the final form, if there is one, doesn't have to be horrific. Even turning a person into a Ridiculously Cute Critter can involve Transformation Horror along the way. What matters is that the process of the transformation is unpleasant to witness, and horrifying just to imagine experiencing. There are several standard forms of Transformation Horror: Mutation Horror: Slowly accumulating chaotic mutations. The victim gradually becomes increasingly twisted and deformed due to the growing influence of The Corruption, exposure to nuclear waste, Mutagenic Goo, or The Virus. There is no "end form", only ever-increasing levels of Body Horror usually involving asymmetric and chaotic changes and tumorous growths. This variety tends to end in either death, Faceâ€“Monster Turn, or the victim's best attempts at screaming. Horrifying Metamorphosis: Slow Transformation into a known end form. Often part of the Viral Transformation process or a particularly unpleasant form of Metamorphosis or Forced Transformation. The victim experiences a disturbing, slow change into their new form. The end result does not have to be body horror, but the process of adopting an entirely new body plan is likely to involve quite a bit of body horror. Traumatic Transformation: Rapid Transformation into a known end form. Some transformations condense all the horror of a targeted slow transformation into a brief, squicktastic Transformation Sequence. Often emphasizes the face and visibly reshaping skeletal structures, and is usually accompanied by the sounds of popping bones and rearranging organs. Nearly always painful or disorienting. Common in Darker and Edgier Animorphism: The transformation of a werewolf, for instance. note Fun fact: this was the original definition for Body Horror. Terminal Mutation: Targetless and Fast. A particularly nasty Cruel and Unusual Death involving rapid degeneration or mutation until death. See Rapid Aging, I'm Melting!, and Shapeshifter Swan Song for just a few of the possible causes. Examples of this form should be placed on their respective pages unless they are particularly noteworthy as transformation horror as well. Mix And Match Mutation: Sprouting Combat Tentacles or a Shapeshifter Weapon can be disturbing enough, but when more and more are added to the mix you have the recipe for a Shapeshifter Mashup. Even more horrifying if it's involuntary, such as in the case of Power Degeneration, or an Adaptive Ability going totally haywire. There are several layers of reasons why people find this trope disturbing: The most obvious is that transformation can be very Squicky: even in the case of one human becoming another human, facial features and major bone structures have to distort and rearrange. This naturally means that the course of a transformation tends to at least pass through the Uncanny Valley at some point, and quite often takes the scenic route. Transformation also invokes the fear of losing control of your own body, or having it turn against you: Transformation Horror is unusual among the fantastical forms of horror in that adults fear it almost as much as children do because it has so many parallels and examples in Real Life. Puberty, unexpected changes in people around us, the ravages of old age, slowly losing one's own identity to mental illness, or worse, having a loved one turn against you, are all too real events experienced by most people at some point. All it takes to make horror from them is exaggeration. Even more extreme forms such as Mutation Horror or Terminal Mutation invoke our fears of disease and decay; in a sense, this trope is why we find diseases like cancer, rabies, leprosy, and the bubonic plague exceptionally terrifying: they transform a victim physically and mentally from the inside out. Not all transformations are necessarily horrific; this trope can be averted in any number of ways. Lighter and Softer universes tend to have relatively tame transformations leaving any disturbing elements to the imagination. On the other hand, in Darker and Edgier universes, even Voluntary Transformations tend to be traumatic for everyone involved and depicted in all their disturbing glory. The medium can have a huge bearing as well: distortions that would be Nausea and/or Nightmare Fuel in live-action can be fairly innocuous in a cartoon. The causes and circumstances of the transformation can make a difference as well. A character slowly turning to stone can be fairly mild visually, but played for Psychological Horror; an otherwise disturbing transformation can be mitigated when it's the result of a character Cursed with Awesome activating their Lovecraftian Superpower or receiving a Power-Upgrading Deformation. An example of how this trope can be intentionally both invoked and averted is the Transformation Comic genre, with various comics averting this trope for fanservice or comedy, playing the trope straight as Fan Disservice to maintain a serious tone, or even alternating between the two. Compare Clone by Conversion, Transflormation, Viral Transformation, Painful Transformation, Slow Transformation, Transformation Sequence, Transformation of the Possessed, and Transformation at the Speed of Plot which often overlap. Compare and contrast Forced Transformation, which sometimes overlaps with Transformation Horror. The distinction is that the victim of a Forced Transformation has become something else against their will, while Transformation Horror is about becoming something else in a disturbing way. Eldritch Transformation often combines these two and exaggerates them. Contrast Nothing Is Scarier and Fridge Horror for transformations that aren't actually shown/described, and Teleporter Accident for similar things happening instantaneously. Bit-by-Bit Transformation can be used both to subvert this trope by spacing out the squick into tolerable doses, and to exaggerate it by combining Horrifying Metamorphosis and Mix And Match Mutation.

Transformation Horror / int_11bb0392	comment	In Made in Abyss, ascending from the titular cavern causes progressively more extreme ill effects as a person reaches lower levels. By the Sixth Layer, the Curse of the Abyss causes its victim to undergo a horrific, violent transformation into something not even close to human. Often, this outright kills the person, falling under Terminal Mutation. The viewer is shown what this looks like in a later episode of the anime (with Mitty, a character who technically survives, but has to be put out of her misery by Reg in an earlier episode), and it's not pretty.

Transformation Horror / int_1869a077	comment	When Samurai Jack gets infected with a fleck of Aku, black spots start growing and spreading on his body, making his hands and feet clawed and gradually replacing his facial features with the Big Bad's while also making him do far more evil things. It takes him a long time to catch on, even after he starts arguing with himself, but he's plainly horrified when he sees it. At some point, Aku takes over his body so that only an eye and a small patch of skin around it is left, and Jack weeps. Episode C: After finding out he's her father, Aku forcibly (and painfully) transforms Ashi into a demonic version of herself, while Jack can only look on in helpless horror.

The amount of blood (or even sheer presence of it) involvednote Excluding when the Dark Moray's abscesses are hit during its boss battle in the Wii or PlayStation 2 versions is what got the game an E10+ rating by the ESRB. The very first Werehog transformation also falls under this trope, as you witness every single change Sonic has to go through, with the very last thing being his fangs growing in.

The person doesn't just grow a lot of hair, canine teeth, and stretched limbs, it's more akin to a butterfly transformation with their entire human body getting ripped off so the wolf underneath can burst out, and then eat the shed remains of their human form. Peter implies that he doesn't actually feel anything during the transformation because it is too painful for the brain to process, comparing it to how you wouldn't feel anything if you got hit by a bus.

Later, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the man we thought was Mad-Eye Moody reverts to his true form when the potion wears off. We get a description of Moody's wooden leg and magical glass eye popping out of the transforming body as the impostor's real leg and eye grow back in.

Transformation Horror / int_468bebb0	comment	Invoked in the Discworld novels: Angua absolutely forbids anyone to watch her while she is transforming from human to werewolf and vice-versa. Especially her lover Carrot, on the grounds that what he may see could put him off her for life. One man who did watch ran away, and went to sea to put the terrible sight behind him. However, it should be noted that it's not the least bit horrific or traumatic for Angua herself, as the transformation doesn't even feel uncomfortable. When describing it, she compares it to "a full-body sneeze".

A few people tell you that once a Sin Eater plants its seed in you via wounding you or other methods, you will become one of them in due time. Early on in the main story, you get to actually witness someone transform into a Sin Eater and it's not pretty; their whole body becomes white, they let out a blood curdling scream, their faces become hard like plaster, they puke up light aspected vomit, and then they finally transform into a winged monstrosity with a vaguely human looking face.

Transformation Horror / int_4bcaa9d6	comment	Triptych Continuum: She is subject to repeated Traumatic Transformations as a result of her botched ascension, painfully and grotesquely shifting between the three major pony races (earth pony to pegasus to unicorn) constantly and unstoppably (She goes through a complete cycle about every twelve hours). This involves wings gradually sprouting and then shrinking away again, a horn tearing through her skin as it sprouts and then retracts, muscles tearing and rearranging to accommodate the slightly different body plans of her three forms, and other such horrors. Becomes slightly less horrific at the end of Triptych, when Fluttershy uses her "make-any-one-thing-cease-to-exist" bubble to take away the pain from the transformations.

Transformation Horror / int_4d64bbe7	comment	''The Midnight Library": The story "An Apple A Day" has the protagonist slowly mutate into a tree after eating an apple from an evil neighbor's orchard. He first coughs up seeds, then finds a leaf deep in his ear. His dog is scared of him, and then he discovers apples are growing under his skin. Finally, roots hold him to the earth, his limbs become branches, and bark covers his body. Although the poor kid's not in much pain, he can feel his entire body grow stiff as his body becomes a plant, and it's absolutely terrifying. The protagonist of a later story, "The Cat Lady", suffers a downplayed version when she's turned into a cat by the seemingly kind old lady who's cat she accidentally killed. There's no described transformation, but it's presented as terrifying and confusing all the same, since the poor girl's mind is in a cat's body with no way to communicate her ordeal.

Transformation Horror / int_542776ac	comment	The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: Eustace's Karmic Transformation into a dragon is painless since it happens in his sleep, but just being stuck in a dragon's body is horrifying enough for him due to his fantasy-hating personality keeping him from enjoying it. He also is in constant pain due to his increased size causing a bracelet he was wearing during the transformation to become stuck and constrict his arm with no way to remove it. The transformation back into a human is much more disturbing. Aslan appears before him and tells Eustace that he must "get undressed" before he can bathe in a pool, even though Eustace is obviously not wearing any clothes, so he starts scratching his own scales off and then peels off his own skin, only to find more and more layers of skin underneath. Aslan then decides to help out by using his teeth and claws to rip off all of Eustace's layers skin. Eustace doesn't actually feel any pain during this process, but it still is highly unpleasant. When he finally has no skin remaining, he is allowed to bathe in the pool and emerges with his human form restored and able to remove the bracelet.

Transformation Horror / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons, on top of the potential uses of the baleful polymorph spell, has a few monsters that can inflict a case of "Terminal Mutation" on opponents. Chaos beasts' claw attacks don't do much damage, but cause "corporeal instability" in their victims, so that those who fail a Fortitude save see their flesh start to melt and seethe - in their agony, they are unable to tell friend from foe, and take permanent Wisdom drain from the experience each round it continues. A successful Charisma check allows the victim to stabilize their body for a minute, and magic like restoration and heal will remove the condition, but if it continues long enough for the victim's Wisdom to fall to 0, they transform into a new chaos beast themself. Entropic reapers are skeletal undead wielding scythes whose blades are essentially jagged holes in reality. Anything hit by them runs the risk of discorporating into complete nothingness. Menglis, creatures also known as unravelers, are elemental spirits feared for their ability to reduce someone to their basic elements, either through their physical attacks or their mere presence, depending on the edition. The end result is a puddle with a few pounds of minerals mixed in it.

The victim vomits blood and teeth, the skin changes to purple, the bone structure starts cracking as it changes shape to that of a Mind Flayer's, hair falls out, and finally the jaw dislocates and breaks as four tentacles force their way out. All while the victim screams in agony. And that's not even getting into the fact that ceremorphosis destroys the soul so completely that nothing short of divine intervention can repair it: whoever a person was before becoming a mind flayer, if their Death of Personality isn't instant, it's still inevitable.

Almost every chapter of the book detailed how the feathers were growing on the kids' skins, how their mouths turned to beaks, how they clucked every time they spoke and no one seemed to care about their transformation. By the end, they turn back to normal and all seems fine, only for the strange woman to stare at them and utter the words "Pig pig." My Hairiest Adventure is about a boy slowly changing into a dog while nobody around him seems to care (the twist is that he was always a dog, and an experiment to turn him human is simply wearing off). It's all fun and games until you watch it unfolding as a grotesque metaphor for puberty, with the boy shaving off the bizarre hair sprouting all over his body and trying to hold onto his dwindling humanity. In The Lizard of Oz, a girl slowly transforms into a lizard, finding that her skin is becoming dry like a lizard.

On one occasion a human manages to transform back partway, putting them into a mutilated half-human half-monster state. Kamen Rider Zero-One uses a type of Ridiculously Human Robot as the base for its monsters, so it's able to show the transformation in much more visceral detail, with an innocent HumaGear being turned into a monster starting the process by ripping their own skin off.

At the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Those Wacky Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant, its divine power strikes them dead: one man's face shrivels up, one man's face melts, and one man messily explodes. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade did something similar in the shrine of the Holy Grail, which turns out to be hidden among dozens of other goblets; the guy who picks the wrong one dies by Rapid Aging.

Transformation Horror / int_90c73dda	comment	Animorphs. Many, many examples throughout the series, played straight to the point of a Black Humor Running Gag. Most of the Animorphs freak out the first couple of times they try particularly exotic morphs, but after a while they get used to it. Shining examples include: Fish: You lose all your limbs and frequently spend a few moments either underwater with lungs or out of it with gills, and on at least one occasion a character spent several seconds with neither. The undiluted Transformation Horror of insect morphs. One has to become a Giant Insect/Human hybrid for the duration of changing from a human to an insect. (See The Fly (1958) if it hasn't hit you why that's horrifying yet.) Also, note that insects don't have eyelids, and frequently do have panoramic vision, so you have to watch it happen. The loss of self if the insect is a Hive Mind is also especially horrifying. Book 39 features a unique, and particularly horrifying version. An ant accidentally gets the ability to morph, and unintentionally starts to morph into Cassie. As soon as it can, it begins to scream. Cassie (through her own revulsion and horror) wonders why, before realizing that the ant is losing the Hive Mind and gaining self, a concept as foreign and horrifying to it as the reverse is to us. While normally an All-Loving Hero, even she considers it an abomination that must be destroyed. The defiance of this trope is Cassie's, and one Andalite character's, talent. Rather than looking like several crimes against nature she can make the transformation nice to look at, even beautiful (except, again, insects).

As a result of being a Half-Human Hybrid, the transformation tears both the skin and flesh as chunks of metal bursts forth and realign themselves, breaking bones as they do, into armored plates and weapons. In short, the transformation basically twists the body inside-out using the shortest possible route.

Only Alan Moore could take a concept like "woman transforms into a bird" and make it this horrific. They give her a root to chew to start the change. She remarks at its bitter taste, and suddenly starts vomiting uncontrollably, puking up all of her internal organs, leaving her body below the neck to rot and wither away. The cultist then holds her head in his hands and talks her through the metamorphosis in graphic detail: talons slicing their way free from her neck, feathers ripping out of her skin, and so forth. Finally her mind goes away, leaving her nothing more than a mindless animal to fly off into oblivion to awaken the ancient beast that will bring about the end of the universe, dying in the process.

Back in the day when FF7's graphics was top of the line, this looked horrifying. Many Sorceresses in Final Fantasy VIII appear to slowly mutate into no particular end form. One unnamed Sorceress boss looks less like a human being and more like a giant grub. Ultimecia's (quickly changing) One-Winged Angel forms deserve a honorable mention: first she fuses herself with a giant lion-like beast, and later turns into a form no less repulsive than the aforementioned grub woman. The Sin Eaters in the Shadowbringers story of Final Fantasy XIV are stated to be humans or other living things after they are transformed by the primordial light. A few people tell you that once a Sin Eater plants its seed in you via wounding you or other methods, you will become one of them in due time. Early on in the main story, you get to actually witness someone transform into a Sin Eater and it's not pretty; their whole body becomes white, they let out a blood curdling scream, their faces become hard like plaster, they puke up light aspected vomit, and then they finally transform into a winged monstrosity with a vaguely human looking face.

While at first it works well, giving Brett the strength and stamina he sought, he quickly develops unusual traits such as pimples, claws, an expanded appetite, growing feet... and when he grows a second head he realizes trying to mix his DNA with the one of an alien monster might not have been a good idea. Cut to Brett having turned into a replica of the two-headed giant monster and having lost his mind, acting in a very aggressive and destructive way, trying to kill all his classmates... and given what he says after he returns to normal he might have been aware of his actions while transformed but unable to resist his bestial nature. In "Strange Fruit", Josh experiments a case of Transflormation after eating an unknown alien fruit and turning into a giant replica of said fruit. At first, it serves mostly as a source of gag and awkward situations - he grows warts/pimples like those of the fruit, he turns orange, he grows so big he gets stuck in doors, leaves sprout out of his ears... But it slowly evolves into a more horrifying process when Josh starts to lose his ability to move and speak as his muscle and organs are replaced by fruit-flesh and pulp (Yoko can make his hand move and his finger twitch by squeezing his forearm). And then he starts to emit a powerful stench because, as his friends realize, he is past his point of ripeness, and is now starting to rot.

Anyone killed by such a creature will themselves turn into one, and it is not pleasant. First, the victim's skin turns pale white. Then, their arms become longer, with their nails become sharp claws. While this is happening, the victim begins looping in and out of consciousness, developing a Horror Hunger in the process. And finally, their vision becomes bright yellow. And the worst part? The victim is completely aware of their loss of humanity and turn into a vicious cannibalistic monster.

Transformation Horror / int_cd95b8df	comment	The Dead Space franchise is largely built around this trope: all of the Nightmare Fuel that's trying to kill you is the result of a mutagenic plague commandeering recently dead bodies for arts and crafts projects. The kicker is that we learn in Dead Space 2 and 3 that you just have to be mostly dead. Bonus points for the opening moments of 2 of having someone turn into a necromorph two inches away from your face. It's not a painless transformation.

The transformation itself is arguably worse, as a mass of pink spikes bursts out of his back, and that's all we see of it -the episode abruptly ends, leaving the rest to the imagination.

Transformation Horror / int_e0730aee	comment	Dr. Franklin's Island features the Slow Transformation of the planewrecked girls into Nearly Normal Animals - Miranda goes first, her teeth falling out and her fingers getting too distended and painful to properly use, then her sternum growing so much that it splits the skin of her chest. The details past then are elided, but she stops having hands and by the time her bed is carried out of their room she's twisted up and fragile, barely able to speak, only her eyes recognizable as hers. Semi's changes start a bit later and she doesn't dwell on them the same way but on the way to becoming a fish monster it becomes increasingly hard and painful to breathe and it becomes harder and harder to move her limbs, until one day they just absolutely won't obey her. The transformation back to something close to human is much easier, though Semi does feel sick and off for part of it.

Almost every chapter of the book detailed how the feathers were growing on the kids' skins, how their mouths turned to beaks, how they clucked every time they spoke and no one seemed to care about their transformation. By the end, they turn back to normal and all seems fine, only for the strange woman to stare at them and utter the words "Pig pig."

The changes are initially subtle, but soon his fingernails are coming off, his skin is suppurating, and his teeth fall out. The transformation terminates with extra limbs bursting through his torso and the flesh on his hands peeling off, as his facial features melt and slough off to reveal an insectoid face. The fly monster ultimately is transformed a second time, being teleported with broken machine parts and ending his life as a mechanical hybrid creature.
