Every Tuesday over at  The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  This week’s topic is:

Characters that …??

…can change or shift into something else:

1. Coyote: Mercy Thompson from Patricia Briggs series – I love this series, do yourself a favour and give it a shot if you haven’t already done so.
2. Kitsune/fox – Suzume from Generation V by MLBrennan.  An excellent vampire series!
3. Dragon –  Kai from Genevieve Cogman’s Invisible Library series – a series that has infinite possibilities using an ancient and magical library to portal to alternate universes.
4. Owl – Atticus from Kevin Hearne’s Druid Chronicles.  This series has a little bit of everything in terms of fantasy creatures, Gods, myths and legends and also has a lot of humour.
5. Shadows – Mia Corvere from Jay Kristoff’s Nevernight/Godsgrave books – possibly a bit of a cheat this one as she doesn’t really turn into shadows but is able to use them to hide.
6. Dog – Sirius Black turns into a giant black dog in JKRowling’s Harry Potter series.
7. Wolf – Professor Remus from JKRowling’s Harry Potter series.
8. Bats/Mist – a bit of a cheat – Dracula/vampires can often transform into bats/rats and mist.
9. Snake/Naga – one of the characters from an excellent series by Kristi Charish that brings us a female Indiana Jones type character who gets into all sorts of trouble when looking (to steal) artefacts – Owl and the Japanese Circus.
10. ?? – who did I miss?
