morpher
Thing that transforms
A morpher is something that morphs—changes shape or form.
The term appears most often in entertainment: a device that transforms characters in shows like *Power Rangers*, or software that smoothly transitions one image into another.
In linguistics, a morpher is a unit that carries grammatical meaning.
Someone who morphs things might also be called a morpher: The graphic designer is a skilled morpher of celebrity faces.
