Oil Slick
One of the standard tools to try to lose someone when driving.
When in a vehicle, simply push a button and the car somehow spills out oil behind, designed to make the person behind slip out of control. Sometimes, the slick may then be ignited to further cover their trail, or to burn things around.
When this happens in water, oil slicks represent a source of environmental pollution rather than a means of giving an enemy the slip.
Trickster Transformee
When it comes to characters who've become the victim of Involuntary Shapeshifting, a Forced Transformation, a "Freaky Friday" Flip, a Shapeshifter Mode Lock, being Brought Down to Normal, or some other transformative event, it's all too common for them to end up in a form that's smaller, weaker, or just less impressive than everyone else in the setting. Doubly unfortunately, these characters usually still have a mission to complete and now lack the strength that would have allowed them an easy victory.
