| A '''metamorph''' was a designation of a lifeform that was able to shift, change or alter its appearance to take on the characteristics and appearance of another species (and then change back).

| Examples of such beings include:
| |
| * [[Werewolf|Werewolves]]
| |
| * [[Meglos]]
| |
| * [[Krillitane]]s
| |
| * [[Bane (Invasion of the Bane)|Bane]]
| |
| * [[Graske]]
| |
| * [[Vespiform]]s
| |
| * [[Raxacoricofallapatorian]]s
| |
| * [[Prisoner Zero]]
| |
| * [[Vampire]]s
| |
| * [[Rutan Host|Rutans]]
| |
| The ability of a metamorph could be achieved through technology as well. The Bane used [[Bane image translator|image translators]] to stay hidden. ([[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'') During the change, [[morphic residue]] could be a byproduct, as was the case with the Bane and with the Vespiforms. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unicorn and the Wasp]]'')

| | |
| One of the better known metamorphic species is the [[Zygon]]s, who could use [[body-print technology]] to take the shape of [[human]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Zygons]]'')

| When they needed to get some [[Immortality Gate|medical equipment]], the [[Vinvocci]] used a [[shimmer]] to disguise themselves as humans, though the effects seemed to induce a sense of claustrophobia. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') Similarly, when members of the [[Slitheen family|Slitheen crime family]] disguised themselves as obese humans, they suffered from indigestion problems and an uncomfortable need to shed their disguises and be naked; their dialogue would imply that this partially stems from inherent self-admiration. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London]]'' / ''[[World War Three]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen]]'')

| ''The [[Abzorbaloff]] may have been a metamorph since he was able to disguise himself as a human''. ([[TV]]: ''[[Love & Monsters]]'')
