I think that saying "You transform into a broo" is a way of saying "Your spuffiness becomes obvious to all and sundry and you can no longer keep up a lifestyle among 'normal' people." I think it cheapens the origin of the Broo as Children of Thed to say that just anyone can transform into a broo. There are many paths to Primal Chaos; Rape is only one. Thed is the Mother of Rape and I think that someone exploring the Path of Rape _might_ be able to transform into a Broo. However, even a Hero of Thed need not transform into a Broo - Delecti is a Hero of Vivamort (by popular repute) and he is not a vampire per se.
People on other Paths to chaos might transform into something else. Primal Chaos itself should not always transform you into a particular race - that would be bizarrely Lawful. Instead you will just be mutated in some random direction.
We have had characters (NPC's mostly) undergo Chaotic transformations in my campaign. Only one became a Broo - the Hanged Man. Well, another one sort of did, but as she was female people really didn't think of her as a broo. Besides, she was basically a good person - just insane.
