This started with [[WolfMan werewolves]]; as monsters go, they tend to be... [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent "different"]]. One of their more peculiar traits is that they have NoOntologicalInertia, because upon death they inevitably revert back to their "true" human form. Though similar to the ShapeshifterSwanSong (which usually ends in This Was His True Form), this is not a case of a SuperPowerMeltdown, but an example of NoOntologicalInertia regarding their [[CursedWithAwesome "curse"]]. Whatever innate [[MagicAndPowers power]] or [[TheVirus curse]] is capable of using LegoGenetics and ShapeshifterBaggage to add and remove a few hundred kilograms of fur, muscle, and teeth to or from an InnocentBystander in a few moments, it apparently has no more lasting effect than a shot of espresso. Well, at least the espresso doesn't induce a killing frenzy -- usually. This is usually used to show that the (sometimes) only way to cure a Werewolf is to kill them.
