Riddle
When is this riddle not a riddle? When it's a trope.
A riddle is a word puzzle with a logical but nonintuitive solution and which is typically coded through the use of Double Entendre, Double Meaning, Multiple Reference Pun, unconventional descriptions of natural phenomena, and an otherwise hidden but discernible meaning.
Riddles are primarily employed as a mental exercise or challenge that forces the listener to use their intuition, outside the box thinking, logical reasoning, and memory to find the hidden solution behind the phrasing and context given.
Terrified Transformation Witness
When it comes to shapeshifting (be it voluntary or forced) regardless of whether the character transforms in front of a witness or is only found to have transformed after the fact, the most common reaction of the audience is one of immediate shock - at best. At worst, fear, terror, paranoia, and even violence may result.
In more comedic works, emphasis is placed on the witness's shock, often deliberately exaggerated for comic effect
