* ''Fanfic/TheEchoRanger'', as a crossover between ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', obviously features these.

Melissa later manages to combine two morphers given to her by Izuku (who'd received it himself from Rita) and Telos into a single working Morpher for her new hybrid Echo Coin.

* In ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'', one of the Tarma and Kethry short stories is of them being called to the aid of a mage who thinks she's found a powerful amulet that lets her take the form of a [[BearsAreBadNews bear]] and commune with ancient spirits. In actuality, it's junk and YourMindMakesItReal. In this setting it's not hard to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting magically turn into an animal]], but there's also such an extreme level of TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody that even brief time spent in a form with a brain that can't support a human mind causes a loss of humanity that a mage can "probably" recover - and Mara's been spending a ''lot'' of time as a bear, leaving her unable to question an idea that's become a delusion. She rejects Kethry's offer of help and attacks her, [[ShootTheShaggyDog only to be shot and killed]] by Tarma.
