Line 17:
* While the [[Kill Sat|Saint's Cradle]] took control of her body to defend itself, {{spoiler|Vivio}} of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]'' was still able to speak to Nanoha and beg her to leave her to die since she's just an [[Person of Mass Destruction|artificially created weapon]]. [[The Messiah|Nanoha]], naturally, disagreed with her statement.
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', people being controlled by Doflamingo and that one guy from the second TV-special are still talking, apologizing, shouting out warnings, cursing or begging for mercy. Both villains seems to consider that last bit especially funny.
* In ''[[07-Ghost]]'', Teito's best friend Mikage gets half his soul destroyed and his body possessed by Ayanami who then tries to capture Teito. Though Ayanami seems to be in complete control, Mikage still manages to shed a few tears as he attacks his friend.
* In [[Naruto]] the Nara Clan's Shadow Possession Jutsu forces the victim to mimic the pose the caster is in, as well as all movements, but victims can still talk, usually expressing surprise about getting caught in it..

* In ''[[The Incredibles]]'', Syndrome's "Zero Point Energy" can freeze a person in place, but they can still look around. Same thing with the [[Human Popsicle|cop put on ice]] by Frozone.
* In ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', Genies can't disobey their Master's orders as long it doesn't violate certain rules, but it doesn't mean they have to like it.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* This happens from time to time on ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''. It's amazing how many alien races have paralysis weapons.
* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'':
** The episode "Angels and Demons" had Lister warning his crew that he was being controlled to attack them, and actively helping them defeat him. Gives the quote "Look out, I'm trying to kill you!"
Line 53:
* An obscure low-budget show called ''Terror Vision'' had an episode where a young woman applies for a modeling job at a small clothing store. As she walks in the mannequin in the window moves its eyes to follow her. [[And I Must Scream|You can probably guess the rest]].
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'':
** In "[[Doctor Who
** [[Missing Episode|Since-lost]] William Hartnell episode "The Dalek's Master Plan" has Steven locked in a forcefield. How much movement he had is unclear without surviving footage, but the Doctor used him to hand off a fake plot device to the Daleks, who naturally tried to exterminate him. It turns out a direct hit from a Dalek [[Death Ray]] was [[Incredibly Lame Pun|just what the Doctor ordered]] to break the forcefield and free him.
** In the TV special "[[Doctor Who/Recap/20th AS the Five Doctors
* Norman Balthus, in the second season of ''[[Carnivale]]'', is afflicted with this when he {{spoiler|is kept in a state of complete paralysis by his newly-evil Antichrist of an adopted son, Justin, after suffering a stroke}}. Made into [[Nightmare Fuel]] in the episode where {{spoiler|Justin uses his mind to pull one of Norman's teeth after Norman got pissed and spit applesauce at him}}.
* In Volume 3 of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', this is inflicted upon Angela Petrelli by {{spoiler|her husband, Arthur}}.
Line 63:
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', when Genie {{spoiler|is forced to do Jafar's bidding via lamp}}, he will shout 'Look out!' or 'Get out of the way!' before attacking.
* ''[[System Shock]] 2'': The zombies speak coherently, apologizing while aiming a shotgun for your head or swinging a lead pipe for your face.
* When the Collector Swarms of ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' bite a human, it reduces them to this, [all the easier to carry them away and do horrible things to them. [[Wham! Episode|Horizon]] is full of these people.
* In ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'', {{spoiler|Estelle gets this treatment after being repeatedly [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]] by Alexei. She gets better, thankfully.}}
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* The ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' "Cardboard Tube Samurai" [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/07/30 strip where the CTS fights the possessed warrior Tobun], Tobun pleads to be killed.
* ''[[The Wotch]]'': In a fall 2008 story, Anne gets [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-10-07 turned into a tree] but [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-10-21 retains some movement in her face] and [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-10-28 can still see and speak].
