10 Video Game Hero Transformations You Didn't See Coming

10. Wander - Shadow Of The Colossus

Wander is the protagonist of Shadow of the Colossus - a young man who makes a deal with the mysterious entity Dormin, to defeat sixteen colossi in order to resurrect a girl named Mono.

At the very end of the game though, once the colossi have all been defeated, Wander learns that Dormin wasn't being totally honest with him, and completing the task has only freed Dormin from his imprisonment.

At this moment, Wander is possessed by Dormin; his skin becoming pale, his eyes glowing silver, and horns sprouting from his head. Dormin eventually transforms Wander into a gigantic shadowy figure, which is promptly defeated by Lord Emon's men.

It doesn't end there, though. Wander is then transformed again, this time seemingly reincarnated as an infant boy with small horns on his head, who is then cared for by a newly awoken Mono.

Even with the game subtly changing Wander's appearance throughout the story - with dirtier clothes, paler skin, darker hair, and so on - who could've ever predicted that by game's end he'd turn into a shadow giant and then a baby? Madness, beautiful madness.
