Is it wrong to have a villain magically or technologically transform the entire party into adorable pooches and to then have the party have to deal with the villain while transformed into dogs in order to restore their humanity?

Yeah sure whatever
>>46335152
It depends.
If people are way too serious about their characters and are evidently self-inserting into them and just living out their own fantasies rather than roleplaying then you may think about actions like this to create some distance between player and character.

Would be funnier if the party doesn't realize it.
Like it fucks with their brain in the process.
The party doesn't notice anything abnormal about themselves but they see the other humans as weird monsters (being taller and different than their new normality).
The players will know some shit happened since they lost most of their abilities, but you can mislead them about what exactly happened.
Then once they put two and two together, you can have a last act about trying to reverse the process.

Sounds like a one-shot.
Also sounds like a way to potentially piss off your players, especially if the system doesn't really support it. Imagine that you had been playing a game for two years running, and then one day your character it turned into a cockroach (no way to prevent/restore it) and then the party gets stepped on and killed because they didn't run through some maze correctly. That's practically what you are inviting, and trying to fight a BBEG while a puppy is going to be (understandably) more difficult than usual.
Of course, some systems can treat puppy-combat just like standard combat. In that case, the only real concern is players potentially getting upset about being spontaneously changed without a chance to respond. If you know your players are fine with that silliness, or are willing to let it go for a session, then feel free.

>muh player agency
In all seriousness though that would be fine.

I'd leave the game, not gonna lie.
Oh, and I'd be an asshole about it too. I wouldn't tell you I'm leaving, I'd just stop showing up. I'd encourage other players to leave. I'd start a rival, better campaign based on something not retarded.

Damn son how'd your dog get so many ranks in Escape Artist?

>Vomits profusely

We once had an enormous thread based on a similar concept
Does nobody remember what a magical realm is?

>The players must solve a puzzle involving red and green cues
>>46335152
I didn't knew the PPG were fenrisians.
Far more interesting for the campaign to open with the party having been in this situation for quite some time, as I did with Bark Heresy.
