Transformations

Stemming from the earlier post about transformations, in mythology, folklore and fantasy fiction, shapeshifting, or metamorphosis is the ability of an entity to physically transform into another being or form. This is usually achieved through an innate quality of a mythological creature, divine intervention, or the use of magic spells or talismans.

We see this in tales of Native American skin walkers, legends of werewolves, vampires, and many other tales of beings that transform. Possibly my favorite tale is of the Beast of  is the historical name associated with the man-eating wolf, dog or wolf-dog hybrid which terrorized a small village in the south of France.
