There are many thousands and thousands of forms, but they are all viṣṇu-tattva, Kṛṣṇa. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.24.31)



vanipedia.org 		Brahmā and other enlightened brāhmaṇas who know the Supreme Personality of Godhead are enlivened by the appearance of the Lord in any of His multi-incarnations. The appearance of the wonderful and gigantic incarnation of Viṣṇu as the mountainlike boar did not fill them with any kind of fear, although the Lord's resounding voice was tumultuous and echoed horribly in all directions as an open threat to all demons who might challenge His omnipotency.

The indication is that for each and every incarnation of the Personality of Godhead, the particular function executed is also mentioned. There cannot be any incarnation without a particular function, and such functions are always extraordinary. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.3.7)
