{{wolfBasicShape|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}Basic Shape
The initial, most basic [[Shapeshifting|transformation]] for a werewolf are a [[werewolf eye color|change in eye color]]. As per normal behavior for a shapeshifter, a werewolf will change their eye color to identify themselves.
 
Later this initial transformation will be followed by their finger or toenails lengthening into claws and their teeth lengthening into fangs. This default transformation will appear when a werewolf will defend himself or activate his powers.
 
{{wolfMainShape|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: right}}The most commonly seen werewolf transformation, as well as the most practical is a near-human shape that includes all of the above features. Further changes consist of a ridged brow, an alteration of body or facial hair including sideburns on their faces, a lengthening and sharpening of their ears. They also gain the ability to run using a combination of both their hands and feet.
 
As werewolves grow in experience or if they were to undergo an evolution, they can develop the ability to shapeshift further. An alpha is supplemented in this talent due to his or her inherent spark of power, a beta most likely by the strength of his pack. Depending on their power and character, a werewolf's transformation could manifest as either an quadrupedal beast, or an bipedal demon.
 
Beast Shapes

During this time he was driven insane by what happened to him and his pack and became obsessed with vengeance for the massacre of his family. He killed his niece, [[Laura Hale]], to take her alpha spark so he could fully heal himself, then killed the arsonists and conspirators involved in the fire. In this thirst for power, revenge and with his new alpha status, Peter transformed into a grotesque, hulking, beast that could stand upright, and run on all fours.

He had no conscience, being a complete psychopath. After he transformed into a werewolf, Sebastien ravaged and killed his way upwards to 500 people, feeling nothing pride for his carnage and reveled in his unrivaled notoriety and power, becoming known as "la Bete du Gevaudan." Sebastien's sadistic, twisted personality affected his werewolf transformation, producing a form was that of a quadrupedal beast form larger than Peter's. His body was oil black, thickly muscled, outfitted with red veins and an overlarge lipless mouth. Sebastien could transform into a beast mystically after his body became shrouded in dark shadows that he could summon, forming his werewolf body.
 
Demon Shapes
{{demonWolf|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}[[Deucalion]], an experienced alpha, was once a idealistic leader and visionary who became corrupt and savage after he lost his eyes in a faux peace summit with Gerard Argent. He became a fanatical power-monger, narcissistic, and obsessive. He desired a pack, all of whom were of alpha status, completely submissive to him. When he discovered that alphas can consume the powers of their betas by killing them, he killed everyone in his previous pack, then coerced other alphas to do the same. As a result of his heinous legacy, Deucalion became the most fearsome werewolf in the region over a span of ten years and a super-powered shapeshifter. He could effortlessly transform into a human shape with dark blue-gray skin with more demonic than wolf-like features.
 
{{demonScott|size: medium; margin-left: 10px; float: right}}Scott McCall experienced a more monstrous transformation and gained additional fangs. In 4x10 - Monstrous, Scott was in the heat of battle against a team of assassins who were to kill fellow werewolves for profit. Scott saved young Lori Talbot from being executed by an assassin and then attempted to kill Lori's would-be murderer out of rage. Giving into his bloodlust, Scott began to transform into a more monstrous, demonic shape with black-gray skin and a darker alpha eye color. When he regained control and spared the man's life, Scott reverted back to his normal form.
 
Twin Merge
A unique werewolf transformation is the case of twin siblings. BornWerewolf werewolftwins, twinswhether born or bitten, have the talentability to merge their bodies into onea single larger and stronger werewolf shape. This is symbolic that identical twins are both halves of the same zygote from birth.
 
One benefit of this talent is that when one of the twins feels pain, the other will feel the other's pain.
