Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A character shapeshifts, and has difficulty moving around in the new form.
* '''Straight''': Charlie is [[{{Animorphism}} turned into a giraffe]], and finds it difficult to move around.
* '''Exaggerated''': Charlie changes forms and is completely unable to move without immediately falling down.
* '''Downplayed''': Charlie is mostly able to move around as a giraffe just fine, but occasionally bumps his head or runs into something unexpectedly.
* '''Justified''':
** Giraffes are much taller than humans, and are also quadrupedal -- it's no surprise that Charlie would find it difficult to adjust to this sudden change.
** The shapeshifted form is otherwise very different from Charlie's usual form. For instance, he turns into a snake or other animal without legs.
** Charlie [[HowDoIShotWeb just got his shapeshifting powers and doesn't quite understand how they work yet]].
** Charlie was turned into a giraffe through a ForcedTransformation or InvoluntaryShapeshifting.
** Charlie [[ObliviousTransformation doesn't even realize he's been turned into a giraffe]] and is trying to go about his life as normal.
** The transformation was [[PainfulTransformation painful]] or otherwise disorienting and Charlie hasn't quite recovered from it yet.
* '''Inverted''': Charlie struggles to move around in his ShapeshifterDefaultForm, but moves around just fine when in a shapeshifted form.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Charlie is able to move around just fine after turning into a giraffe.
* '''Enforced''': "We should show how Charlie isn't used to being a giraffe yet. Let's show him having difficulty moving around in the new form."
* '''Lampshaded''': "No one ever told me that turning into something else means having to learn to walk all over again!"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': "I bet one of the hardest parts about turning into something else is figuring out how to move around in the new form." "Depends on what you turn into, I guess."
* '''Conversed''': ???
