How it's used
Often used to describe physical objects that have lost their original structure due to external force or extreme temperature. While it can apply to living things in fantasy contexts like sci-fi, it sounds unnatural when describing minor changes in a person's appearance or posture.
Examples
Are you trying to transform into a monster?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person's physical growth or change in weight, as it implies a structural distortion or damage rather than a natural change.
