Wizards, elves, cyborgs, aliens – video games allow you to be things you could never be in real life.
But what if this isn't enough? What if you want to not only transform yourself, but also give your character a similar transformation?
In fact, many games let you do just that: in addition to creating and customizing your character, some titles even feature special secret transformations that can enhance your character and completely change the way you play the game.
From powerful beast forms to evolutions and phantoms, these transformations add a new dimension to gameplay, giving your character new powers and abilities that make them feel even more special.
However, most of these transformations are hidden within the game, so you need to know how to find them before you transform like there's no tomorrow.
If you're looking for ways to radically change your character, the following list will help you find out how.
10. Vampires – The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
The Elder Scrolls games have a long history with vampires and werewolves.
Starting with the vampire transformation in the original Daggerfall, nearly every title in the series has included a covert transformation into a vampire or werewolf, offering a multitude of benefits and drawbacks alike.
Each transformation is interesting in its own right and worthy of being talked about in depth, but if I had to pick one that stands out above the rest, it would probably be Morrowind's transformation into a vampire.
In this game, just like in other Elder Scrolls titles, you contract vampirism by becoming infected while fighting a vampire, from which point you'll transform into a creature of the night over the course of a few days, and this is where the true vampire experience begins.
What's special about vampires in Morrowind is that the transformation not only gives you new powers, but also secret factions and questlines that come with it.
You can join one of the three vampire clans of Morrowind (Aundae, Berne or Quarra) and embark on a long and thrilling journey to find powerful artifacts, such as the legendary sword Eltonbrand, and discover the secret world of vampires.
It's good to be a vampire!
