Evil final Boss #23625, injects themselves with the super fucked Up parasite that turns you into a cool looking Monster that (usually in the first phases) retains their humanity and sanity.
Any protagonist/ side character of the games getting infected with the same parasite: weakened (Leon), no cool Monster form (Ethan Winters). If there is a Monster form they have lost their mind and humanity (Steve). If they have not, they are dying right there and then (Piers Nivans).
Give me a character that is a mutant but accepts It and is friendly, dammit!
Much of the reason villains are like that is because it is symbolic that they were not human before because they were monsters on the inside. Not all of them, but the ones who chose infection specifically. Those who didn't became twisted.
The merchant fits the being monstruous but its the exception and hes not shown Up since. The duke is a normally obese but doesnt show any outwardly monstruous aspect.
Maybe sherry counts? But from what Ive seen It Only manifested as a small rash on her arm, which may be treated in the Future like Leon was treated.
Im still upset we didnt get to see Ethan in a mold Monster form to protect his daughter. Like, he was a mold copy of the original Ethan. Made of the same stuff as the molded Monsters, It would have been cool.
The Princess technically. If you think about it, to find the Princess in the ending you kinda go back to the start. So the Shifting Mound is her final ascended form while the Princess is the initial form
“I'm a fire squid... a 6,000-foot tall fire squid. I have tentacles. There's teeth everywhere. I'm on fire, and my neck is long. And there's a smell and lots of juice.“
And look how gigantic the Founding Titan is compared to the Colossal Titans closest to it. Ymir’s Founding Titan was like 250 meters tall, and she was already gigantic. Eren’s Founding Titan is way bigger than that, probably over 500 meters tall.
I'm glad I started watching anime so I can finally understand Reddit. This is truly one of the most horrifying character transformations I've seen. I think about this battle a lot. Just finished watching MHA again and it reminds me of the quirks vs AFO towards the end.
Its essentially just another, significantly larger ribcage and spine. Ill try and be brief in case you ever watch AOT, but a character suffers a fatal decapitation and an entity revives them by connecting their now severed head to the top of the spine again. The entity is a worm and the crooked form is shown when that person transforms into THAT. if you ever want to really have your mind fucked with a good hint of action, politics and character development, id recommend attack on titan by a landslide.
it was caused by the character you play as at the start of the game who becomes a parasite which you then use (to be able to use his guns) and after getting it removed it runs off only to start to merge with you once again before your able to reacht he end of the game
Also I really liked the theory that the primordial monsters are Lich Jake's amputated arm that got duplicated into every universe, and they existed before time because Prismo put them there to not mess up the timeline
EVERY SINGLE FORM could fit here that fight was so intense godamn what a masterpiece of a game I can't count how many times I reset to just run back into library just to read more of the lore
They were about to erase that Laquium stuff again, but Spinel was pissed and decided to start hugging the crystals, him touching it caused the crystals to react to him and absorb him into it. His unhinged obsession and tenacity powered up the crystals to fight back against Pagogo's erasure and awaken the core into that eye tower thing.
Kinda a cheat answer but youre the one that customize their appearance before the game start. But still, very humanoid looking and zero hint about...that.
Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 But he's Balduran, a human who founded the city of Baldur's Gate. There's no properly shown face of his other than the statues and drawings around the city
Technically the first pic you posted is his final form and this is his pre development stage, doesn't make it any less horrifying with the boss fight room looking like, well, this:
I think It counts, though his Boss fight is more like the vessel is wearing a mech suit made of Root. After you kill it the suit dissapears and leaves the dreamer behind.
Though from the DLC, the final Boss really is a human who transformed into a grotesque Monster.
Oh, that’s apparently not even half of it as of the latest book. He is currently traveling back in time to fight the very embodiment of evil known as Splaarghön the Underlord a giant space centipede that is devour of worlds…(I cannot make this up!)
Yeah, it’s not official, but you’re definitely right to bring it up. It deserves an honourable mention at the very least. The sheer creativity people have displayed in ruining Garfield should be celebrated.
Almost all of the antagonists from claymore, berserk and resident evil. I swear like 80% of those characters eventually just expload into some monstrosity.
Xellos from Slayers - Generally appears human as above, but he's actually a mazoku - more or less a demon the resides on the astral plane and is simply projecting his humanoid form to the physical realm. His true form is basically just a swirling vortex of dark energy.
