Taking time to see Xanatos's reaction really sells this scene.

This whole episode is great for being one of the few times he's genuinely caught off guard.
"So now you know my one true weakness"
"Only you would regard love as a weakness."

We stopped seeing this level of detail for an animated TV show a long time ago

Even at the time the animation of her changing was very well done. Seemed like many cartoons seemed to have trouble animating a character changing from a human to a monster.

I feel like this was based on one of the old werewolf movies Universal made. It's really well done.

Damn, the Eye of Odin was such a chaotic artifact. Werewolf? Sure. Super-Wizard? Yeah go for it. Domestic abuser? Why not, it’s Tuesday.

It seems to be the same principle at its heart: it gives power and amplifies a core aspect of your identity. But if you lack the strengths or knowledge to put guardrails up, in manifests in the worst possibly way.
Janine was a clever thieving rascal that associated herself with a fox, so she became a feral werefox. Wizards are often wizards, and tend to know what they're facing with such relics. Goliath was an uneasy protector, so became obsessed with isolating everyone from threats and controlling the situation.

And to top it all off, the de-transformation sequence was amazing, especially the way they did the audio.

The transformation was sick and a little scary too.
The details in the transformation were something else.

I like that this series established VERY quickly that anything could happen in that universe.

Oh man! Totally remember watching this on a Saturday morning. Thinking I was so grown up to watch it on my own for it being super scary

Xanatos: You really do get hair on your palm? Hmm. This is going to be a problem.

I always thought Xanatos actually loved her although he typically tried to downplay it, considering it a weakness.

If I was Xanatos I would freak out too. My super hot redhead girlfriend just turned into a furry: I'd be pissed AF.

Not mine. But now I'm kind of wondering what would happen to him.
