  |journalBBS=This giant, floating Unversed showed up while Ventus was sailing through the Lanes Between. It then took refuge on a transport ship in Deep Space. Despite its most blubbery efforts to sabotage the ship, the Metamorphosis was simply no match for Ven and Experiment 626's teamwork.

The Metamorphosis is a large, jellyfish-like Unversed with pale blue skin that fades to white at its tentacles, and a body adorned with silver linings. It has a sleek body made primarily of three large tentacles, each with arrowhead-shaped tips and light blue diamonds. Its lower body condenses into a twisted, black tail. The Unversed emblem adorns the front of its lower body, while its circular, black face is on the tip of its upper body. Its red eyes are set in a sorrowful expression.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the Metamorphosis's skin becomes white, which fades to black at its tentacles. The lining on its body is now purple, with turquoise diamonds on each tentacle. Its lower body and tail are also purple and fade to black toward the bottom.

{{w|Metamorphosis}} is the process during which one thing turns into another, reflecting [[Gantu]]'s belief that Experiment 626 had transformed into this Unversed.

===First battle===

The first battle against the Metamorphosis takes place in the [[Lanes Between]], with Ventus fighting from atop his [[Keyblade Glider]]. The command menu will change only to host four commands. {{Button|t}} will let Ventus use the Charge technique, {{Button|c}} will allow him to jump, {{Button|s}} will allow him to put up a barrier, and {{Button|x}} will allow him to attack the Unversed boss. As this is a change in the battle system, no [[Command Style]]s may be used. While the Focus and D-Link Gauge will be filled and ready for use, they too cannot be used. The player does not need to deplete the Metamorphosis's HP to zero in this battle. All they must do is attack until the battle ends automatically and survive.

===Second battle===

The second all-out battle against the Metamorphosis is unique, as well. Not only will the player have [[Experiment 626]] as a party member, but they also will have to prevent the ship's engine from taking too much damage. Ventus can use [[Shotlock]]s and [[Command Style]]s but not [[D-Link]]s due to 626's presence. Instead, the player should use 626's presence to their advantage, as he is the key to being triumphant in this battle. He also doesn't need to be healed, automatically reviving if his HP hits zero.  

At the start of the battle, again Lock-On to the Metamorphosis. Begin hitting it with aerial combos, but do not get cocky. The Unversed will soon begin to fly out of attack range, certain Deck Commands only able to hit it at this point. Should the Metamorphosis latch onto the glowing column in the center of the battlefield, the yellow bar indicating the engine's damage on the top-left of the screen will begin to fill (if the bar fills at this or any point during the battle, Ventus will lose and have to retry the boss fight). Bombard the Unversed with Ventus's strongest long-range or aerial combos, attacks such as Tornado Strike recommended (press {{Button|t}} when the on-screen prompt appears each time for maximum results). In terms of its counterattacks, the Metamorphosis will only rush at the player or spin like a top towards Ventus, its arms slashing as it does. It can also spin around while shooting lightning from its arms, and it can also fire a laser from its tail.
