When a foreign entity like that of a [[The Symbiote|Symbiote]], [[Body Snatcher]], [[Puppeteer Parasite]], or even a [[The Cracker|Hacker]] (when regarding machines like robots and computers) enters/outright hijacks a body, the possessed subject becomes what is usually called: the Host. |
|||
The basic purpose of the host varies on what the point was for it to have been hijacked in the first place. Sometimes it's used as a disguise, other times it's used as a decoy and destraction, even simply being used as a weapon and piece of armor that the possessor uses to cause sheer chaos and destruction, but sometimes...a host can be used for [[Fetish Fuel]]. |
