* In ''ComicBook/VictorianUndead 2: Sherlock Holmes vs Dracula'', Lucy Westerna avoids being staked upon her awakening after being turned and sides with Dracula to takes over London. In each confrontation with the protagonists, she goes on and on to the protagonists how she likes the power that being a vampire has given her. [[spoiler:However, she reveals that she's not very loyal to Dracula either, [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere leaving in the middle of the conflict with her newfound power rather than be killed]]. Notably, in a reversal of the novel, she's not killed either and still at large in London to spread vampirism at her own pace]]
-->'''Lucy:''' ''[after Helsing offers her "peace" in exchange to know Dracula's whereabouts]'' Peace? Do you imagine I am in pain, professor? A tortured soul? Look at me, I'm magnificent! In my warm life, all that expected of pretty little Lucy was to marry well and become a broodmare. Squatting out children and dancing to my husband's whims and fancies. Now I am so much more, I had to die to become fulfilled. I am stronger than all of you, faster -- the things I can see and hear -- I am extraordinary!

** And in the second half of the story, [[spoiler:Jade kidnaps Viper and force feeds her Ikazuki's chi (killing him in the process), transforming her into [[TheDragon Hebi]], the new General of the [[EliteMooks Samurai Khan]], who is [[UndyingLoyalty completely loyal]] to Jade. {{Justified|Trope}}, as Jade specifically designed the ritual that caused this change to corrupt Viper.]]
* In the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' fanfic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11587968/1/Resident-Hybrid-infection Resident Hybrid infection]]", part of the horror of the virus transforming its victims into Pokémon/human hybrids is how swiftly most victims accept the change after it happens. Ash's new ally Sherry has seen some people go on killing sprees after they transform, and it doesn't take long for May to 'seduce' Serena into joining her in a campaign to make Ash their mate (along with Dawn, Misty, and maybe Sherry, with current plot twists suggesting that Lillie and Anabel will also join Ash's harem), with others observing that it's impressive that Ash has held onto himself after a couple of days in his new Lucario form.

* PlayedWith in ''Fanfic/ToughLove'', where Charlie strongly suspects that his daughter ''already'' considers humans naturally inferior to vampires and is eager for Edward to convert her. So he [[ArmorPiercingQuestion pointedly asks her]] just why she spends so much time with the Cullens when she doesn't seem to ''like'' the family that much, causing an eavesdropping Edward to realize the truth [[spoiler:and break up with her]].



* In ''FanFic/{{Webwork}}'', with all the humans being transformed, there's a lot of this trope going around:

* ''Fanfic/TheWeddingCrashers'' has [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Bella]] furiously rant about how vampires are naturally superior to humans, placing them above all pitiful mortal concepts of "morality" and "laws", and that humans should only exist as ''cattle'' for vampires to feed upon at their leisure. She does this right in front of her [[BetrayalByOffspring heartbroken father]], who ultimately [[IHaveNoSon disowns her]] as a result.



** ''Film/TheBridesOfDracula'': A village girl and a school teacher, Gina, fall victim to the vampire Baron and instantly become evil upon resurrecting. [[spoiler: Though oddly the Baron's mother doesn't succumb to this trope when she is turned.]]

* In ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', the titular Honkai energy can corrupt humans and lead to transformation with sufficient exposure. Most people will simply become zombie-like creatures, while there is a small chance that someone with high resistance will instead be reborn as a Herrscher. These god-like beings are consumed with a twisted desire to wipe out humanity, commanding the forces of the Honkai in terrible campaigns of destruction. Ironically, many with strong Honkai resistance are recruited as soldiers, meaning that any moment your teammate could suddenly transform into a new enemy commander. In the Previous Era, the corruption of [[spoiler: Captain Himeko]] caused them to become the Herrscher of Flames and led to a week-long rampage that reduced the entire continent of Australia to a burning wasteland. Similarly, in the modern era, [[spoiler: Ana, the commander of Snow Lotus squad,]] would awaken as the Herrscher of Ice and wipe out her entire team before freezing much of the tropical city they'd been protecting.

However, one of the themes and turning points of the story is how some of the Herrschers can retain their humanity while still wielding the power that comes with being one, and use their powers to [[ProHumanTranshuman protect humanity and fight the Honkai back]]. That eventually reaches its peak with [[spoiler:the protagonist Kiana becoming the ultimate Herrscher, "Herrscher of Finality"; back in the Previous Era, this Herrscher was the one who ended up destroying said civilization, while Kiana has understood what Honkai and Finality truly stood for, and is now capable of using the power of Finality to improve the lives of humanity]].

* Creator/EdmondHamilton's "The Man Who Evolved" might be the UrExample. A man invents a machine that [[EvolutionPowerUp accelerates his evolution]]. In the first two stages, he is still somewhat decent in behavior. In the third stage, he states he intends to take over Earth and use it as a laboratory. The protagonist stops him by [[spoiler:convincing him to evolve further. It works; the next stage is beyond such desires]].

* ''Film/SeedOfChucky'': It took until this movie, but Chucky [[MotiveDecay eventually decided]] that he liked being stuck in a KillerDoll form, actually. Although, he was a SerialKiller before then, so he wasn't exactly your regular, sane to begin with...
