Rating:
This word gets 5 stars for me. I think that it is such a cool word and this word sounds so cool when you say it. I think it can be used practically anywhere, and has a sophisticated sound to it.
Synonyms:
Mutation is a synonym of this word in the way that they both mean to change. Mutation is more of a dramatic change, this is where something changes into something bad usually. Metamorphosis can be a little change, or a huge change but mutation is more intense of a change.
Antonyms:
Static is an antonym of metamorphosis in the way that static means to be still and not move. If metamorphosis means to change then these words are almost exactly opposite.

This is an example of a metamorphosis in the way that it shows how a car changes it's shape and form while it's driving up towards us, and then it turns into a bird and flies away, so it changes forms completely.
