* In ''Webcomic/StarTrip'', the shapeshifting alien Khut is capable of changing their mass with their form, varying anywhere between a small animal a human can hold in their arms up to a form outclassing gigantic combat robots. It's noted that this should be physically impossible, as this is a science fiction comic where conservation of mass is normally in effect, but no one knows how Khut does it. [[spoiler: There's also Khudran, a self-aware fragment of Khut who generally takes even larger forms.]]
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', when Queen Alba shrinks down to (slightly over) normal human size too quickly, she overheats, suggesting she converts mass into energy. This doesn't explain where it comes from when she reverses the process, of course.
