Transformation

is an ability to change one's physical appearance. It was a common ability among many yōkai. Some yōkai were able to hide their true appearance by taking on a humanoid form. Examples include Sesshōmaru, his mother, and Tōga. Other yōkai were capable of disguising themselves as another individual. Examples include Shippō, Hachiemon, and Naraku. Those who were in possession of the Shikon no Tama were also able to change their appearance to a more menacing form. This includes Mistress Centipede, Shibugarasu, and Naraku.
