Usually, Shapeshifting is done quickly and without undue damage to the shifter. For whatever reason, the body flows from one form to the other without much trouble. But that isn't always the case. Sometimes, those who would take on another form are going to suffer for it. As the name implies, a Painful Transformation is agonizing. While it may not leave permanent injuries, it's still not pretty. There are generally two ways transforming can be painful: If painful doesn't begin to describe the transformation, see Body Horror. Examples of Painful Transformation include:

  • Usually, Shapeshifting is done quickly and without undue damage to the shifter. For whatever reason, the body flows from one form to the other without much trouble. But that isn't always the case. Sometimes, those who would take on another form are going to suffer for it. As the name implies, a Painful Transformation is agonizing. While it may not leave permanent injuries, it's still not pretty. There are generally two ways transforming can be painful: * Physical - The body is tortured during the transformation process. This is rather understandable, as one would imagine the bones and organs shifting around as having some sort of impact on the nerves. * Mental/Spiritual - The user's mind is overrun with horrid... whatever. We rarely get into a shapeshifter's head. Externally, it looks like they undergo a Freak-Out every time they change shape. This may even be necessary to transform, in cases like that of the Incredible Hulk. If painful doesn't begin to describe the transformation, see Body Horror. Usually not associated with Voluntary Shapeshifting, where the user generally knows enough to pick a quick and painless method of transformation. Involuntary Shapeshifters and (especially) Baleful Polymorphs, on the other hand.... In cases where the shapeshifter will, once fully transformed, pose a threat to all others present, no one takes advantage of their temporary incapacitation in an attempt to flee or subdue them.
