** In a filler strip, [[AuthorAvatar Dan Shive]] turns Melissa [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2003-03-21 into a cat]] to shut her up.

** In-canon (and out), Grace occasionally gets hit with this trope... but she's a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifter]], so it doesn't do anything other than give her a new form to play with.

** Once the Maiden hears Drak's story, she falls in love with him, but since she took a dagger from his treasure horde, Drak's curse passes onto her, causing ''her'' to transform into a dragon too. However, this doesn't stop her from loving him anyway.

* In ''Webcomic/CrimsonFlag'', Lord Julian Urocyon found a staff that could transform [FoxFolk Reyn]] into ordinary foxes (Who are still fully sapient, though unintelligible). He tried to use it in a bid for Gray Reyn independence from the Red Reyn kingdom but was foiled by [[DefectorFromDecadence his son Lucian]], though both of them were transformed in the process. [[spoiler: Lucian and Julian later learn how to use transformation magic on themselves and others without the staff. And eventually it turns out the staff was used by the Reds' "goddess" to [[UpliftedAnimal uplift]] red foxes, while a bit of the staff's magic was stolen by a gray fox who became the first Gray Reyn.]]
