Basic Trope: Doing evil acts makes someone turn into a monster.
- Straight: After years of being evil, Emperor Evulz has turned into a horrifying creature.
- Exaggerated:
- Evulz has only been a bad guy for about a few months, but you wouldn't guess it's only been a few months due to all of the monstrous features he has.
- All of the villains in the series have turned into monsters due to their villainy.
- Downplayed:
- Evil Makes You Ugly
- Evulz is physically monstrous, but only in a Red Right Hand sort of a way.
- Evulz turns into a werecreature of some sort.
- Justified: Evulz has a curse put on him, which causes his appearance to become like that of a monster's if he continues to do evil acts.
- Inverted:
- A monster is in the process of pulling a Heel–Face Turn, and becomes more humanlike the more they do good acts.
- Evulz was a monster to begin with, but he gradually becomes more humanlike the more he does evil acts.
- Hiro is the protagonist, and is cursed to become more monstrous when he does good acts.
- Subverted: Evulz is thought to have gained his monstrous appearance from evil acts, but it's later revealed that it was just a Freak Lab Accident.
- Double Subverted:
- Which was meant as karma for how badly he treated his subjects; his coworker switched out his regular lab supplies for the Forced Transformation potion.
- He was lying, or he remembered wrong.
- Parodied: Evulz litters on purpose, and he's instantly transformed into a monster.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: No evil characters turn into monsters.
- Enforced: To put in a Space Whale Aesop in order to discourage the audience from doing evil acts.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Evulz uses his monster form as a One-Winged Angel attack.
- Defied: Evulz takes a potion every day to counteract the effects of getting turned into a monster.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: Evulz is a monster that Was Once a Man, and it's never shown how he got turned into what he is now.
- Played for Horror: The scene where Evulz was turned into a monster is shown onscreen in very graphic, excruciating detail.
