Can be used as a KarmicTransformation. Characters transformed this way may also exhibit MorphicResonance. See also EmergencyTransformation, ShapeshifterMashup and BeautyToBeast. Compare TakenForGranite (turning into a statue), UnwillingRoboticisation (turning from flesh into something mechanical). Contrast with HybridOverkillAvoidance, where the subject is immune to further polymorphing because they're already supernatural. Compare InvoluntaryShapeshifter.

** In terms of the game's story, the fairytale-inspired ''Throne of Eldraine'' set featured this as a primary plot point. The planeswalker Oko, one of TheFairFolk, transforms the king of The Realm into an elk, and the storyline of the set centers on the efforts of his heirs to turn him back. Fittingly, one of Oko's representational cards in the set, [[https://scryfall.com/card/eld/197/oko-thief-of-crowns Oko, Thief of Crowns]], has the ability to turn enemy creatures into elks--and said card ended up being oppressive to the point where the card was banned in most formats and "3/3 green elk" has become [[MemeticMutation an in-joke in its own right]].
** Later, when the ''Wilds of Eldraine'' set returned to the plane and the concept of "roles"[[note]]Various "auras" that can be attached to creatures with varying effects, but each creature can only have one role at a time[[/note]] were introduced, one role (and the only detrimental role) was the "Cursed" role which sets the creature's stats to 1/1, with the flavor presented on most cards and the role itself being that the affected creature [[BewitchedAmphibians gets turned into a frog]].

* ''WebVideo/RatsSMP'':
** On Day 39, Will and El are accidentally turned into cats after Oli throws one of the Eldest Daughter's potions on them out of ignorance, and have only [[WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve until midnight]] that day to undo the effects before they become cats permanently. PlayedForDrama in that both of them are terrified about the possibility of the transformation being permanent, and TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody causes even their dietary preferences and temperament to shift to be more feline-like.
** On Day 47, Scott attempts to {{invoke|dTrope}} this by attempting to brew potions that can turn the cats into rats, so he can [[spoiler:[[RevengeBeforeReason kill them in revenge for killing him]]]] a few days prior. [[SubvertedTrope Unfortunately for him and the other rats]], the plan does not go as expected and ends up causing [[spoiler:two more canon life losses]] in the resultant potions mishap.

Characters get hit with a spell, {{Curse}}, or TransformationRay, causing an instantaneous and involuntary transformation until they can revert to their usual form by some means. They will generally immediately notice their HandsLookingWrong. These transformations are often harmful, but beneficial or neutral transformations can also occur. This is commonly [[{{Animorphism}} some sort of animal creature]] (whether real or fantastic), though it can also be a [[{{Transflormation}} plant]] or a lifeless object. They may [[TalkingAnimal or may not]] lose their voice, or even their mental faculties (in which case someone else will have to seek the cure for them). Such unlucky often start StumblingInTheNewForm after the transformation.
