|||
A person's body is taken over by some foreign intelligence. It's not [[Brainwashed|brainwashing]], because they still have control of their own mind—but that's ''all'' they have. Either they've been reduced to a spectator in their own body, or their soul has been booted out of their body entirely. Either way, the rest of the cast will soon find he's [[Not Himself]]. |
|||
This can come in several flavors: |
|||
* [[Body Surf]]—The Body Snatcher leaps from host to host over the course of the story. |
|||
* [[Demonic Possession]]—A spirit or energy being who puts the host's mind in a straitjacket. |
|||
* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]—Body swapping for fun and [[An Aesop|learning]]. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. |
|||
* [[Grand Theft Me]]—The Snatcher has a body, but they want a new one. Yours. |
|||
* [[People Puppets]]—Directly controlling another's body—no mucking about with souls. |
|||
* [[Puppeteer Parasite]]—Body Snatchers who are physical parasites. [[Body Horror]] ensues. |
|||
For information on specific types of hosts, look to [[Body and Host]]. |
|||
Not to be confused with the people who [[Grave Robbing|steal corpses]]. |
|||
Please put examples on the appropriate [[Sub-Trope]] and not here. |
