* Jarbilong in ''Manhwa/{{Priest|1998}}'' uses the body of a former vicar to take physical form in his battle against Ivan Isaacs. The poor sod screams ''a lot'' while his ribs stretch out of his chest and a new head grows out of his back.

* Think regeneration is painful in ''Series/DoctorWho''? In ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'', we have a human-turned-Gallifreyan with Borg implants. That first regeneration, his screams of pain and the shriek of his morphing musculoskeletal system combined into [[FridgeHorror what had to be]] [[HellIsThatNoise one hell of a hideous racket]].

** This is a problem for [[HalfHumanHybrid chimera]]; it figures prominently in the character of [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-04-07 Vlad]], who could not change form with risking his life. Part of what makes Grace (Shade Tail) unique is that transforming doesn't hurt her as much as it does others (by design, she naturally releases painkillers when transforming). Vlad is eventually put into a human form via TFG (or the equivalent thereof), thereafter ''refusing'' to try transforming again, both out of fear of this trope and that [[GenderBender she]] will be unable to turn back since it wasn't possible on her own.

* ComicBook/GhostRider is a demonic skeleton on fire, literally formed from the burnt off flesh of his human alter ego. The change is very agonizing, but never lethal, and HealingFactor always comes into play when he turns back into flesh and blood, looking good as new like nothing happened. The [[ComicBook/GhostRider2022 2022 series]] is particularly notable for its graphic and nightmarish depictions of Johnny Blaze's transformations. Some issues even have him ''deliberately'' rip and tear off his own skin (starting with his face) as the hellfire starts to engulf his entire body, just to hasten things.

* In the ''Butterflies'' strip of ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'' a man ingests a potion to turn himself into a hot woman. The transformation involves expanding and hardening his skin to act as a chrysalis while his own digestive fluids dissolve most of his body into nutritious slurry which the remaining clusters will process into the new body. The last thing the guy is able to utter is: "It burrrnnsssssss..." And the process takes '''eight months'''.

** According to many sources about the Nine Hells of Baator, while ''any'' type of promotion among devils is painful, the promotion to pit fiend (one of the leaders of the race) is the worst. For this to happen, a devil must spend 999 days in the Pit of Flame on the fourth layer of Baator. The Pit of Flame is usually used to ''punish'' devils, contains fire so hot that even ''they'' find it agonizing, and is considered one of the worst punishments that an insubordinate can receive. In other words, surviving three years of it is the perfect test for one who wants to join the ruling class of Hell.
