Yes....that would be fun...even if it doesn't do anything.
But ideally you'd be switch to a terrain that better suits you. This would be a very fun idea.

Maybe you could implement an endurance stat or something where if the player takes too much damage they de-transform.
Depending on how the monsters work, maybe you could implement a "Corruption" stat where using a certain form or item will slowly turn the rider into a monster like in Gaim, Blade, or OOO.

I might come up with more, but here's all I got for now.

Finishers are a given for sure, i'm struggling with that one, cause having set goals of "Ok you can use it now" is very lame, trying to figure out a way they it's better better to use it at the end of a fight than the beginning, that doesn't make you count HP or rounds

Corruption as a basic-base mechanic?

Ah...that's a good idea...de-transform limits, must think about that one. that a solid idea.
