One of the first things our sweaty, clammy imaginations suggest to us is that a shapeshifter's sex life must be really interesting. I mean, they can turn into anything right? Ahem... One of the cleaner subtropes involves a hero seduced by an exploitative shapeshifting minion. This can also apply to metaphorical shapeshifters, such as people with Jekyll and Hyde complexes. It usually suggests an amount of mischief, if not outright wickedness, since it may not be so much a plan to trick the hero as their own little perversion. There are a few ways for the hero to handle this situation:

  • One of the first things our sweaty, clammy imaginations suggest to us is that a shapeshifter's sex life must be really interesting. I mean, they can turn into anything right? Ahem... One of the cleaner subtropes involves a hero seduced by an exploitative shapeshifting minion. This can also apply to metaphorical shapeshifters, such as people with Jekyll and Hyde complexes. It usually suggests an amount of mischief, if not outright wickedness, since it may not be so much a plan to trick the hero as their own little perversion. There are a few ways for the hero to handle this situation: * The solicited hero will refuse to be taken in by trickery. (He may get punched in the teeth by the minion but at least his conscience is clean.) * The solicited hero comments that the shapeshifter shouldn't have to pose as others to get people to like her. At this point, the (female) shifter goes into her default - but still exotically sexy - form and they have a contented snog anyway. * The shapeshifter convinces the hero, but totally wrecks the mood by turning into the wrong thing. If a shapeshifter is loyally dating, or if the shapeshifter is the hero, this trope is played humorously for that character. A significant subtrope of Power Perversion Potential.
