It takes a while to be able to complete this line, but who doesn't want a chibi horse that turns in to the legendary Odin?
Dualizard --> Trihyde --> Tiamat
http://i.imgur.com/q0vR4kE.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/tWX1Wwc.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/nHFPRCP.jpg?1
Okay, so the first form is the cutest by far, but it's hard not to get attached when I got this mirage very early in my game. He was there with me through a large chunk of my journey. Also, chibi Tiamat.
Cockatrice --> Valefor
http://i.imgur.com/jkiqcqu.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/GOt0uLg.jpg?1
Another Mirage you'll need to wait a while to see the payoff for, but the Cockatrice, a common series enemy, leads way to the majestic Valefor.
Cactrot --> Gigantrot
http://i.imgur.com/huCe1ZR.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/6GjJJut.jpg?1
What's the difference between the Cactuars and the Cactrots, you ask? Not... not much. But both are uber useful with their Needles and/or Meedles attacks.
Babyhemoth --> Behemoth --> Behemonster
http://i.imgur.com/HJDpMfw.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/FgBaabY.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/IWQhMBD.jpg?1
Isn't Babyhemoth just the most precious thing? Here we get to witness the FF staple grow from a baby in to it's awkward teenage years and then finally in to the Mega-Mirage we all knew it could become!
Black Chocochik --> Hyperion
http://i.imgur.com/MWd1ZqW.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/wqGK8le.jpg?1
Fans of Chocobos and the Gold Saucer should be familiar with Hyperion here. And yes, this Mirage is absurdly fast.
Fritt --> Affrite --> Ifreeta
http://i.imgur.com/scsHe53.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/LtUbPTZ.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/aEsEOiI.jpg?1
We all know Ifrit, but how about trying something new with Femfrit, a.k.a. Ifreeta?
Mist Dragon --> Holy Dragon
http://i.imgur.com/imPNjQI.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/2mJsx4Q.jpg?1
Fans of Final Fantasy IV might like seeing the chibi Mist Dragon and bringing it up to the even more regal Holy Dragon.
Spark Dragon --> Red Dragon
http://i.imgur.com/73IIZda.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/5DpwGHA.jpg?1
Or perhaps you prefer some lightning and fire type mythical lizard beasts? Or you could always do what I did and get both sets and have twinsy dragons!
Black Nakk --> Elefenrir
http://i.imgur.com/JvUKeAD.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/bsaRJD3.jpg?1
Another Mirage that was with me since early game, I find the Black Nakk to be cuter than his grey counterpart. However, you can get the other line and find yourself with a Fenrir!
Moogle --> Kupirate
http://i.imgur.com/Su9FgFM.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/d5MluoT.jpg?1
It's a Moogle that turns in to a pirate Moogle. Need I say more?
Phoenix
http://i.imgur.com/jI47obq.jpg?1
Yep. Just Phoenix. Damage dealing and reviving at the same time? Yes, please.
Zapt --> Zaphr --> Ramewl
http://i.imgur.com/f8t3eFU.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/ECCFkXq.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/Gc0aBBd.jpg?1
Sure, the middle form looks like it's trying too hard to be in a terrible 80's garage band, but the other two are absolutely precious. Also, Ramewl is the daughter of Ramuh!
Mini Flan --> Flan --> Flan Princess
http://i.imgur.com/IaQQSi9.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/SrPamWK.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/229oflB.jpg?1
Sometimes you have to put up with ugly blob monsters to end up with the adorable Flan Princess.
Baby Paleberry --> Paleberry --> Paleberry King
http://i.imgur.com/VeMBin0.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/bgGt5wR.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/k915d53.jpg?1
Baby Paleberry is one of the most adorable things I've laid eyes on in this game, and the Paleberry King is magical. Cousins to the Tonberry line!
Deathskull --> Undead Princess
http://i.imgur.com/K8c1KJw.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/zx3HICn.jpg?1
Two adorable forms and adds to the already large amount of royalty in my party!
Sylph --> Siren
http://i.imgur.com/oeHAq7F.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/gdF71Vv.jpg?1
Another one you'll have to be patient for the payoff with, but it's worth it for the wonderful Siren!
Serafie --> Diva Serafie
http://i.imgur.com/QNke6Df.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/HNjK3dm.jpg?1
While I like Siren more than Serafie, I can't deny that I like Diva Serafie the most. What can I say, the pink just gets me.
Mu --> Skull Eater --> Carbuncle
http://i.imgur.com/bI0cuJq.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/a0rwGc4.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/DHdqao2.jpg?1
Who would have thought that these relatively minor, if not somewhat doofy looking series enemies would transfigure in to the absolutely adorable Carbuncle?
Bablizz --> Mishiva --> Shiva
http://i.imgur.com/au4MBie.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/Bden2qe.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/OegFB8i.jpg?1
I am in love with every Mirage in this transfiguration line.
Quacho --> Quacho Queen
http://i.imgur.com/6el9QIK.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/eUtlUlR.jpg?1
I've saved the best for last. My absolute favourite Mirage of the game is the Quacho Queen, finishing up with yet another member of Mirage royalty in my party.
