Basic Trope: An animal gets turned into an anthropomorphic animal.
- Straight: Zachary the Zebra is turned into a Funny Animal zebra after being hit with a Transformation Ray.
- Exaggerated: Zachary the Zebra becomes almost entirely humanlike - only a zebra’s head, stripes, and maybe even a tail would discern him from an actual human.
- Downplayed: Zachary gets uplifted into a Talking Animal, but still (mostly) looks like a regular zebra.
- Justified: Well, it's what the Transformation Ray does.
- Inverted:
- Zachary the Funny Animal zebra gets turned into a regular zebra.
- Zachary is a human who gets turned into a zebra.
- Subverted: The ray doesn't do anything to Zachary.
- Double Subverted: Until later, when Zachary starts a Slow Transformation into a more anthropomorphic form.
- Parodied: Zachary turns into a person in a cheap zebra costume.
- Zig-Zagged: The ray hits multiple animals, with varying effects.
- Averted: There is no anthropomorphic transformation.
- Enforced: There needed to be a reason to justify Zachary's Anthropomorphic Shift.
- Lampshaded: "Woah, look what that ray just did!"
- Invoked: Zachary wants to be humanlike, so he somehow informs a scientist that he would like to be transformed into an anthropomorphic zebra.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Zachary is transformed, but not uplifted
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: Zachary goes into a scientific lab as a regular zebra, but is later seen as an anthropomorphic zebra.
- Deconstructed:
- The transformation is horrifying and/or painful.
- Zachary needs some time getting used to his new form.
- Reconstructed:
- As a result, Zachary decides to manage the pain by being sedated in some way.
- Zachary attends a class that helps him learn how to be more humanlike.
