*** Applin has three item-based evolutions based on what kind of apple its given. It will evolve into Flapple if given a Tart Apple, it will evolve into Appletun if given a Sweet Apple, or it will evolve into Dipplin if given a Syrupy Apple. Dipplin is also unique in being one of the few item evolution Pokémon that can evolve again, as Dipplin evolves into Hydrapple by leveling up while knowing the move Dragon Cheer.

* ''VideoGame/Starcraft'':
** In the first game, Mutalisks could permanently metamorphose into Guardians, going from FragileSpeedster flyers with a bouncing attack to a GlassCannon flying siege monster. The expansion added Devourers as an option, anti-air flyers with SplashDamage.
** The Zerg-centric ''VideoGame/HeartOfTheSwarm'' gives ''every'' unit a choice of two mutually-exclusive forms (although it's more a choice between which to use for that level), giving each its dedicated mission to test it out in ideal conditions:
*** Zerglings now come in Raptor (more damage, can jump cliffs and over enemies) and Swarmling (spawn much faster in threes instead of two).
*** Corpser Roaches can gain a SpawnBroodlings attack, while Vile Roach attacks slow enemies.
*** Hunter Banelings can jump cliffs and over enemy heads, while Splitter Banelings, well, split into two smaller Banelings on death.
*** Hydralisks can turn into Lurkers (a creature that burrows to send lines of underground spikes into enemies) or Impalers (same idea, but trading the line damage for high single-target damage).
*** Mutalisks can turn into Brood Lords (similar to Guardians from the first game) or Vipers (anti-air flying SupportUnit that can yoink enemies to themselves).
*** Ultralisks come in Torrasque (turns into a coccoon on death that rejuvenates it) or Noxious (constantly spews poison around itself) variants.
*** Creeper strain Swarm Hosts can teleport (well, deep-burrow) onto creep anywhere, while the Carrion strain creates flying locusts instead of the ground-based ones.

The downside is that once you choose a strain, its dedicated mission to test it out in ideal conditions:

*** Zerglings now come in can become the Raptor (more damage, can strain which has the ability to jump up and down cliffs and over enemies) and ledges as well as a pounce attack to close in on enemies, or the Swarmling (spawn much strain which has a faster in threes spawn time and also spawns three Zerglings instead of two).

*** Hydralisks can turn gain the ability to morph in game but what they morph into Lurkers (a creature that burrows to send lines of underground spikes is dependent on the strain. Hydralisks can either morph into enemies) or Impalers (same idea, but trading the line damage for high single-target damage).
*** Mutalisks can turn into
Lurker from Brood Lords (similar to Guardians War which has an area attack good against light units or the Impaler which is just like the Lurker but with the heavy attack of the Sunken Colony structure from the first game) or Vipers (anti-air flying SupportUnit that game.
*** Just like in Brood war, Mutalisks
can yoink enemies to themselves).
morph in game into an anti-ground unit or an anti-air unit but with a twist. In this case, the anti-ground unit is the new Brood Lord rather than the Guardian, and the anti-air unit is the new Viper rather than the Devourer. The Viper is a bit different from the Devourer because it primarily acts as a spellcasting support unit.
*** Ultralisks come in can become the Torrasque (turns into a coccoon on strain that can revive itself upon death that rejuvenates it) or the Noxious (constantly spews strain which has an additional poison around itself) variants.

** ''VideoGame/Starcraft2'' Co-op mode also allows Zerg commanders the ability to morph certain units, with some commanders having access to branching evolutions.
*** Just like in Brood War, Abathur can evolve his Mutalisks into either Guardians or Devourers.
*** Dehaka's units can evolve by undergoing Primal Combat, a process in which two units kill each other with the survivor absorbing the loser's essence and evolving. Two units, the Primal Roach and the Primal Hydralisk have multiple evolution options as well. Primal Roaches can evolve into Primal Igniters (a close-range version
of the ground-based ones.Roach with a fire breath attack) or Primal Guardians, while Primal Hydralisks can evolve into Impalers or Primal Mutalisks.

** "Armor Digivolution" is when a Digimon digivolves with the power of a Digi-Egg. This was considered a lost form of digivolution that Digimon used in the past before they eventually learned how to do it without the need of armor. In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', the Digimon Emperor's Dark Spires block Digimons' ability to Digivolve normally; Veemon, Armadillomon, Hawkmon, Patamon, and Gatomon gain the ability to Armor-Digivolve when their Digidestined partners discover the Digi-eggs. Over the course of the season, the Digidestined would end up finding multiple Digi-Eggs that allowed their Digimon partners to achieve multiple Armor forms, with the only exceptions are, Patamon and Gatomon, who both only gained one Armor form and SixthRanger, Wormmon, who never gained any Armor forms. Veemon becomes Flamedramon and Raidramon, Hawkmon becomes Halsemon and Shurimon, and Armadillomon becomes Digmon and Submarimon. Veemon is also the only Digimon that was able to utilize the unique Golden Digi-Egg to achieve a third Armor form, Magnamon.
