*** The third season finale of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' sees it happening a few times, with [[spoiler: Albedo's Ultimatrix being able to unleash the [[HollywoodEvolution "ultimate evolution"]] of the various alien forms. Ultimate Humongasaur is green and much stronger than the normal version, while Ultimate Swampfire is a tree with blue growths. And then once Vilgax's ship floods, he unveils "his true form" - [[AnticlimaxBoss a giant squid/octopus]].]]

*** On the series finale, ''Weirdmageddon:Part 3'' he transforms into what may very well be his most demonic version of him: [[spoiler:While chasing the twins, Bill becomes a three dimentional, red monstrosity with a yellow hat, several mouths filled with sharp teeth, his arms and legs become yellow, long and spindly like those of a spider, his eyes become black with a yellow, reptilian sclera and he also gains some more too, and he also sprouts some extra limbs growing from his mouths]].

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys'' has "Gormungus", an alter-ego of GentleGiant Gor. For roughly the first third of the series, pushing Gor's BerserkButton sends him into an UnstoppableRage. After the malevolent alien Apax captures Gor and decides that the temper and strength make him the perfect gladiator, but that gentle side just has to go, he zaps Gor with a home-made mutagenic raygun. As a result, whenever Gor gets angry, he grows into a massive, more feral-looking gorilla creature, sort of a cross between ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk and Film/KingKong, until he gets calmed down.

* Emperor Belos from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' looks like a normal man with a skin condition affecting his face, but due to him [[spoiler:consuming Palismen to extend his lifespan]], his body has slowly started to deteriorate and warp beyond recognition. He's been keeping himself together with magic, but when Luz [[spoiler:brands him with a sigil, the Draining Spell drains all of the magic out of his body, forcing a transformation into his true form -- a twelve foot tall, skeletal monster made of rotting, liquefied flesh, absolutely ''covered'' in glowing blue eyes.]]

** In the series finale, [[spoiler:Belos possesses the heart of the Titan itself in a desperate attempt to complete his genocide of witchkind with no one to stop him after learning that Titan magic can cancel the Collector's RealityWarping. In the process, he gains an even more monstrous form in which the flesh-like goop that makes up his body becomes a lichen-like MeatMoss that covers the entire Boiling Isles, and Belos himself transforms into a towering draconic beast rooted to his castle, in mockery of the Titan's image.

* Characters, particularly Franchise/{{Batman}} villains, in the Franchise/{{DCAU}} like this trope a lot as well:
** Clayface... it's easier to say he ''really'' liked to turn into horrifying things during combat.
** '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis "I!!! AM!!! BANE!!!!!"]]'''''
** One of the more way-out examples is the episode "Home and Garden", where Poison Ivy created a race of plant people who start out as normal-looking babies (save for the fact that they've emerged from giant seed pods) but may suddenly mutate into huge, green, ogrish thugs.
** Eventually it got to the point where the Preserver assumed a monstrous form to fight Lobo in the ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "The Main Man".
** It was even nastily subverted by the time the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "Splicers" came along. The [[GeneticEngineeringisTheNewNuke evil scientist]] leader of the Splicers pumps himself full of LegoGenetics Juice, transforming into a fearsome monster combining the features of many creatures. Terry fights him normally for a bit, then gets the bright idea to inject ''more'' of the serum into the baddie, horribly mutating him into a blobby thing... [[spoiler:[[DoubleSubversion that is actually still quite capable of fighting and, worse yet, is even more powerful than before]].]]
** Speaking of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', the writers liked this trope enough to play it fairly straight in every other episode. The episode "Curse Of The Cobra" is a good example; as a matter of fact it used LegoGenetics as well.
*** This is also the series where the writers admitted they would blow up the building if they couldn't figure out a good way to end an episode.
** In the terrible trio episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', The Trio uses skin patches to administer the Langstrom serum. In the end Fox (a guy turned anthro fox) ends up turning into a griffin-like monster.
* Kevin 11 from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' is an odd spin on this: His '''true''' form is his first form, [[spoiler:an orphaned eleven-year-old boy with the power to absorb energy. Attempting to absorb the Omnitrix's energy, however, resulted in him losing the only thing he had left... His humanity.]]
