* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': Spectra finds herself seducing people far more often than the other protagonists, due to her charisma-focused build and her warlock patron's missions often involving infiltration, impersonation, or social situations that don't call for a combat-focused approach. (Her backstory as a changeling prostitute certainly doesn't hurt either.)

* ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngelII'': Happens in Nano-Nano's route in the first game. While at the beach, Nano-Nano notices Kazuya staring at a couple of busty women and, [[ACupAngst feeling insecure about herself]], decides to transforms into a buxom blonde woman to seduce Kazuya. He doesn't recognize her and tells the woman to go away, he's waiting for Nano-Nano. After a long conversation with the "busty woman," he finds out that the big-breasted woman ''is'' Nano-Nano (and that he unintentionally scored major brownie points with Nano-Nano by telling the "busty woman" how much he likes Nano-Nano).

* ''Fanfic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'' and ''Fanfic/TheArchmagesLastBow'': Zig-zagged and weaponized. Envy can shapeshift due to being cursed to be a LivingShadow, and she does flirt with Nova a lot. However, the only time she shapeshifted to flirt with him was when she disguised herself as Rarity to play on Twilight Sparkle's [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous tendencies]]. At any other point, whenever she flirts with him, it's never genuine and almost always an attempt to unsettle him.

* ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'': In the third episode one of Jen Walters' old colleagues comes to her law firm for help. He needs to sue a Light Elf from Alfheim who used her shapeshifting abilities to trick him into thinking he was dating Music/MeganTheeStallion and spending thousands of dollars on her. He eventually wins the case, but notes that the ruling is a slap on the wrist as there's really nothing stopping her pulling the same con on someone else.

* The female space vampire in ''Film/{{Lifeforce}}'' doesn't change her form again onscreen after she settles on the shape of a beautiful girl, and she has a habit of walking around in the buff. She took this shape directly from the mind of Lt. Carlson, as the image of the girl is his conception of the perfect woman, and uses it to draw him to her and seduce him so she can use his lifeforce in her EvilPlan.

* The in''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "[[Recap/FuturamaS2E9ABicyclopsBuiltForTwo A Bicyclops Built for Two]]" Leela thinks she meets the only other member of her mysterious cyclops species - a man called Alcazar. She almost marries him despite knowing he's a jerk because she wants to repopulate their species when Alcazar tells her they're the last of their kind. Turns out he's actually a small cricket like alien that can shapeshift and has pulled the same trick on four other women - a five eyed alien lady, a rhinoceros-centaur woman, a multiple [[EyeOnAStalk eye stalked alien]], and a [[StarfishAliens long necked purple tentacle faced lady]] and was trying to wed them all on the same day.

* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': But of course it's Sauron. Unlike the books, the show version of him blurs the line between non-sexual and sexual when he tries to seduce Galadriel to join his cause to rule, ahem, heal Middle-Earth, as his Queen Consort. In the climax of season 1, he traps her in a MindRape illusion where he takes the shape of her late brother [[IncestSubtext looking at her in a suggestive way.]] When this doesn't work, he changes the scenery to the day they met on the raft, where he exposes all of Galadriel's vulnerabilities and suggests to her how much they complete each other as each other's source of light and darkness. Sauron even shows her a possible future where he is in his TinTyrant form and her in her wraith form with her HandOnWomb. He almost succeeds, of only wound have gave Galadriel the right answer.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Weirdmageddon Part 2: Escape from Reality", Dipper, while trying to save Mabel from within a LotusEaterMachine, encounters his PrecociousCrush Wendy. She suggests they use the magic of the world to [[AgeDownRomance bridge the age gap between them so they could be together]]. While Dipper is initially intrigued, [[SpotTheImposter when she winks at him rather than zipping her mouth, like in a previous episode]], Dipper realizes this isn't the real Wendy - just the world trying to seduce him to stay.
* WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic's changelings, who are essentially G-rated [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubi]], impersonate other sentient creatures and [[EmotionEater feed off of the love]] of those close to them. Presumably, this trope is how they go about it when they're not amassing in force to invade entire nations, as was witnessed in the case of [[spoiler: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen]] [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Chrysalis]] impersonating Princess Cadance in order to leech off of Shining Armor]].
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' revealed that Miss Martian did this with Superboy (taking on the appearance of Black Canary to make out with him). The real Black Canary is completely unamused when Martian Manhunter tells her that it's a common thing on Mars, since as a race of telepathic shapeshifters, Martians can tell who their partner is regardless of what form they take. Superboy, for the record, knew it was Miss Martian the whole time.

Subtrope of PowerPerversionPotential. Compare YouSexyBeast, {{Glamour}}. Not to be confused with ShapeshiftingLover, where they only have one alternate form (and it's animal to human). Might be related to ShapeshiftersDoItForAChange, however.

however. See also AFormYouAreComfortableWith, where the shapeshifter's concern isn't so much about making you horny but about not breaking your mind by showing you their true form.

* There are hints dropped in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' that the slightly telepathic [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Asari]] are considered universally attractive to every other species (including humans) because their appearance changes to fit. The strongest evidence is a scene in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' where three very different-looking species (Turian, Salarian, and Human) all claim that an Asari dancer resembles their own women and wonder if they are really being brainwashed. This hasn't [[https://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lphdglawmb1qlbl8ko1_500.jpg gone unnoticed]] [[https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/covers/images/050/954/693/large/eugenio-volpato-eugenio-volpato-a.jpg?1656085132 by the fandom]].
