Shapeshifting

**Shapeshifting** is the ability to transform or turn one's self into another being or object.

Alternatively, **glamour** is an illusion, and only affects the perception of people who see the glamoured person or object, as opposed to changing its actual form. **Transformation**, on the other hand, is a complete shape-shift, where the person physically transforms into another being or form.[1][2] *("Siege Perilous")*

## Transformers

* Cybertronians can transform between robots and cars and other vehicles. Maximals can transform in between animals and neck form.

## Teen Wolf

### In general

* Werewolves, werejaguars, and were coyotes are one of the most notable shapeshifters. They are simply humans with the ability to transform from humans into lupine or feline forms.
* Chimeras also can change their shapes, as do Werelions, Kitsune, skinwalkers, and Werehyenas
* Alphas have their beast forms. Peter Hale turned into a gigantic man beast and Scott nearly turned into one during the fight with the evil Deadpool assassins.
* People can also turn into full-blooded animals such as Derek Hale, Talia Hale, Malia Tate, and Theo Raeken.

See Shapeshifting/Teen Wolf for a more in-depth look at shapeshifting from that universe.
