There are forces, be they biological, mystical or technological, that can infect and change a person into something... else. These tend to be highly contagious, spreading easily via physical contact, bite, ritual, or other means. The changes are seldom subtle, and often quite a shock for the victim, who will likely wonder what they have become. On the plus side, the Viral Transformation is usually Cursed with Awesome, giving the "victim" Stock Superpower and the ability to give them to others. By now you're probably wondering what the downside is to this, and why this "disease" hasn't been shared among all of humanity. Well, it's usually because it makes the transformees jerks. While it's not (always) The Virus, making those infected into Always Chaotic Evil, Mind Controlled servants to a Hive Queen who gladly eats puppies, it does lend itself to "Power Corrupts". Though the changes are mostly physical, the alterations may cause a change in perception because The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body, their new body has a Horror Hunger only sated by eating orphans (and it tastes good!), and With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. Those responsible for infecting the victim may expect a Face–Heel Turn because the shock at the change will make them run to others like them, as well as Fantastic Racism making it likely they'll be alienated by their friends and family (this is especially likely if the transformation is less than cosmetically appealing). However; the choice to do so remains with the victim: they can consciously choose Transhuman Treachery, to stand apart and above of humanity, become Fully Embraced Fiends who enjoy their condition, to be Friendly Neighborhood Vampires and live among if not entirely in harmony with humanity, or even be a Pro-Human Transhuman and act the Sheep in Wolf's Clothing while becoming a Vampire Hunter. Common examples of this include most forms of Lycanthropy and some forms of Vampirism. Expect those affected by a Viral Transformation to be tempted to help friends or loved ones with an Emergency Transformation or surprised when a blood donation turns into a Superhuman Transfusion. See also Virus-Victim Symptoms. See also Warm Bloodbags Are Everywhere. Compare The Corruption. Contrast with Transferred Transformation, where the recipient gets a transformation while the donor loses it, and Physical Attribute Swap, where two characters trade specific physical traits rather than proliferate them. A type of Face–Monster Turn. |

In the 2001 Syfy Channel Original Movie Threshold, an astronaut infected with alien DNA let loose moth-like carriers that infected other people. The government found the hybrids all had B negative blood and, furthermore, the hybrids had stolen a list from a blood bank so they could track down their targets. The title comes from the other governments of the world declaring the invaders had to be stopped before they reached a critical population or Southern California would be nuked to stop them. | |

Ilyria was played as a variant of this on Angel, infecting Fred after she inhaled dust from Illyria's sarcophagus and then turning her slowly into a shell. And it was stated that if the heroes saved Fred by having Illyria's essence drawn back into the Deeper Well, it would infect and kill everyone between LA and there. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise The third season had an episode where Archer and several of the main cast were being converted into a different species by a virus, a last-ditch attempt by that species to preserve themselves. They manage to cure it by the end, though Archer keeps a sample so something of that species will remain. The fourth season reveals that the Klingon loss of forehead appliques in Star Trek: The Original Series was due to an attempt to splice the DNA of augmented humans into their own genome, only for a virus to mutate due to exposure and start spreading augment DNA to everyone infected. The loss of forehead ridges was one of the side effects, and wasn't reversed by the cure, though in a couple generations the trait would come back into dominance again, in time for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (and the other early 80s movies) and Star Trek: The Next Generation. |

Vampire Academy: This is the only way that Strigoi vampires can reproduce, by biting Moroi, dhampirs, or humans. First they drink the subject's blood, then share their own blood with the drained subject. The subject then turns into a new Strigoi, a transformation which the Strigoi call "awakening". The process can be involuntary for the subject. There are exceptions in the cases of Moroi vampires who turn into Strigoi by themselves. They only have to kill a victim by draining it of blood. |

The Mortal Instruments: This is common from exposure to angelic or demonic influences and/or bodily fluids. The Shadowhunters received their special abilities from drinking the blood of the angel Raziel given to them in the Mortal Cup. New Shadowhunters can also be created this way, although the process is risky. Jonathan Morgenstern arranged the creation of the Infernal Cup, tainted by the blood of Lilith, which can turn humans and Shadowhunters into Dark Shadowhunters. Consumption of angel or demon blood generally, even in dried form, can result in changes to a person or their offspring. Valentine, Jocelyn, Clary, Jace and especially Jonathan were all altered to some extent in this way due to Valentine's experimentation with the blood. Vampires and werewolves are the descendants of two different species of demons. They can transmit their condition to humans, and even Shadowhunters, via bite. |

It's not exactly clear where all the "devils" in Sinfest came from, but at least some of them were originally human, and one of those has shown the ability to transform animals into their demonic equivalents. (Similarly, holy power can turn a devil human. The strip's version of Jesus spends a lot of time undoing transformations that its version of Satan has inflicted.) | |

The Stargate-verse loves this trope. Stargate SG-1: A virus caused people to turn into cavemen (a minor version, it just gave them funny foreheads and heightened aggression). A nanotech version made O'Neill 100-years-old in a few days. Teal'c was bitten by a bug whose venom would have converted his total body mass into more bugs. Stargate Atlantis: The Iratus bug retrovirus designed to "cure" Wraith does this. First it turned a female Wraith and then Sheppard into human/bug hybrids. Once perfected, it turned Wraith into humans. Michael, one such victim, took it and used it to make Wraith/human hybrids. Stargate Universe: Chloe was infected with a virus by some aliens which appears to be turning her into one of them, or something close. At first it was mental, but then things got worse. |

The Brood from Marvel comics propagate their species this way. They inject parasites into viable hosts (which is basically everyone) that gradually transform the hosts into more Brood. By the time the transformation's complete, the original psyche of the host is all but gone. Incredibly, despite being (nearly) Always Chaotic Evil, it's still possible to pity the Brood because this is the only way they can reproduce. | |

In Be Calm, it quickly becomes apparent that being exposed to the air in the underground facility for too long can have seriously bad effects. Namely, mutating your body until you turn into a monstrous killing machine. The ARG attached to the reboot hints that part of the facility's original purpose was to figure out a way of studying these mutations in a controlled environment. | |

The loss of forehead ridges was one of the side effects, and wasn't reversed by the cure, though in a couple generations the trait would come back into dominance again, in time for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (and the other early 80s movies) and Star Trek: The Next Generation. | |

In The Elder Scrolls series, Vampirism and Lycanthropy are actually diseases (though divine in origin) which can be spread via any wound inflicted by a carrier of the disease. In the case of vampirism, it starts off fairly innocuous (fatigue, insomnia, nightmares) and is easily cured within the first few days of being contracted. Porphyric Hemophilia, Sanguinare Vampiris and Noxiphilic Sanguivoria are a few of the diseases that develop into full-blown Vampirism. Lycanthropy functions similarly, although in some cases consuming the blood of a lycanthrope can cause the disease to immediately take effect. | |

Sssnake Eyesss, a short comic by The Shadow Demon on DeviantArt, has a legendary snake (in a zoo for some reason) whose stare will turn you into Snake People. Who inherit the trait. A girl subjects herself to it as a Scare Dare, naturally discovers the legend to be true and accidentally spreads the condition to bystanders in the sequel. (The one guy enjoys it and proceeds to fertilize some eggs.) | |

The Book of Dragons: In "Habitat", it's revealed that dragons reproduce by infecting other beings with a kind of disease, which can be transmitted through even a small nick from their fangs, claws or scales, incubates for anywhere from a few days to several years, and eventually transforms the victim into a new dragon. Even the victim's death won't halt this process. | |

In The Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, a reovirus creates monsters out of anything that ingests it by inserting saurian and reptilian DNA into host cells; but the victim needs a steady supply of specialized hormones to retain its new form, the victim-turned-monster; in order to acquire these hormones, the victim must go right to the richest source available and eat the hypothalamus of its victims or go mad from the pain of being unable to sustain its new form. | |

Ambergris: Shriek: An Afterword: The fringe historian Duncan Shriek is the only human to discover a safe method to enter the underground realm of the Graycaps under the city of Ambergris, but this involved getting an esoteric fungal infection, which would in the course of the years transform him into a man-fungus hybrid who could only retain human shape through constant mental effort. The novel also features common people getting less extreme, though still bizarre-looking fungus infections out of the fungus bombs used during the civil war. And the sequel, Finch, has Partials, people who voluntarily go through this process to become akin to fungus cyborgs. | |

The Zerg Swarm of StarCraft employs a hyper-evolutionary virus that mutates its victims into Zerg hybrids, dispersed by virophages and certain Zerg strains as a mean of crippling the enemy and bolstering their own numbers. Most human victims of the virus became infested terrans — shambling zombies that live to serve as the Swarm's cannon fodder — but there has been a few cases of the virus being used on exceptional individuals to create new leaders for the Swarm. | |

In Lost Souls (MUD), a local implementation of NetHack's "eating a mind flayer makes you smarter" makes it so that eating the neural tissue of the vlekthid (read illithid) or gogtzul (read Star-Spawn of Cthulhu) races results in that neural tissue colonizing your own nervous system, making you smarter and less emotional, and giving you both psionic powers and often-crippling mental disorders. | |

In El Goonish Shive, whoever touches the Dewitchery Diamond while under a "curse" (for a very loose definition of a curse) will be split into their normal state and a duplicate who not only is the embodiment of the "curse" as applied to the original person but who can spread it to others no matter what the nature of the curse is. Fortunately, if the "curse" is easily reversed, the people the duplicate transforms can have the transformation reversed just as easily. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "A Health of Information" introduces swamp fever, a rase disease contracted by breathing in the pollen of a certain swamp flower. Its initial symptoms are a bit odd — orange spots all over the victim's body, then coughing up bubbles, then sneezing small lightning bolts — but nothing too worrying as far as this trope goes. Things change when the disease reaches its end stage, at which point branches start growing out of the orange spots and the victim is permanently turned into a tree — the very same kind of tree that grows the flowers whose pollen spreads swamp fever. | |

Doctor Who: In the classic series, we have the Krynoids. A Krynoid is a monstrous plant that converts animal organisms into Krynoids by touch. Two men were converted in the Krynoids' debut story, "The Seeds of Doom" (not to be confused with the earlier story "The Seeds of Death"). This so outraged Mary Whitehouse, a media watchdog, that she spoke out about the "obscene vegetable matter" being shown on Doctor Who, which she dubbed "teatime brutality for tots". The Great Vampires from "State of Decay" reproduce like this. "The Curse of Fenric" has the Haemovores, who are basically zombie-like aquatic vampires. "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" has people being transformed into zombie-like beings with gas-masks fixed on their heads. The cause are alien medical nanorobots unfamiliar with humans, who took the first being encountered (a dead gasmasked boy) as a base template, and are now trying to "fix" the "sick" people. The problem is solved when the original boy's mother reveals herself and embraces her child. The nanobots figure out the correct human template and then quickly undo the damage. "The Waters of Mars" sees people touched with infected water turned into zombie-like creatures that spray more infected water to spread the virus further. "The End of Time": The Part 1 cliffhanger has the Master utilizing a device called the Immortality Gate to turn every human being on Earth into versions of the Master, except for Wilfred Mott, whom the Doctor placed in a radiation-proof chamber; and Donna Noble, who became half-Time Lord thanks to the events at the end of Series 4. |

Underworld (2003) has examples of both this and The Virus. The original flavor werewolves under William were all raving savages, but those who inherited it from Lucian spend most of their time in human form, and can eventually enter or leave were-form at will. Then you have the various takes on the hybrids. The movies show two different hybrids (Marcus and Michael) and mention a third (Lucian and Sonya's unborn child). The first two involve a member of one species getting exposed to the blood (and virus) of the other. While the viruses normally annihilate each other, the presence of the "Corvinus strain" in both allowed the viruses to merge into something new. In Michael's case, his original Lycan strain retained dominance, making him appear vastly more human than an average Lycan. Marcus, who started as a vampire, attained more bat-like characteristics, although he did gain several Lycan ones as well. It is unknown what Lucian and Sonya's child would look like, given that it was equal parts Lycan and vampire, or if it would survive at all, given the mutually-destructive "relationship" the two virus strains have. |

Kingdom (2019): Initially averted: the first victim of a zombie is mauled to death, but did not transform into one himself. However, his body remained infectious, so the people who unknowingly ate his flesh later died and reanimated. Played straight from then on — anyone bitten afterwards would very swiftly transform in a matter of minutes. The doctor who used the herb notices this and interprets it as a sign that the infection is mutating to become more effective. It's also averted in the backstory, where Lords Ahn Hyeon and Cho Hak-ju have to slaughter the entire population of the village of Sumang and individually reanimate the bodies to create their undead army. Furthermore, none of the invading Japanese are shown reanimating and the survivors are defeated by a badly under-strength Korean force, suggesting that the infection wasn't transmissible. |

This is the basis for the Wild Cards series of books. An alien virus gives some people super-powers and transforms others into "Jokers", who are sometimes not even recognizable as having been human. Well, at least if your particular draw included the ability to infect others. Despite the fact that xenovirus takis-A was a literal virus, it wasn't (normally) communicable. | |
