* Like Spider Robinson, [[Terry Pratchett]] uses this concept in ''[[A Hat Full of Sky]]'' where Miss Level is one person, in two bodies. {{spoiler|Also like Robinson, one of the Miss Levels gets killed. However, the surviving one learns how to ''act'' like she still has two bodies, becoming de facto telekinetic.}}
** Also in ''[[Discworld]]'', Granny Weatherwax is able to "[[Mind Control|borrow]]" animals, and at one point she does this to an entire beehive.
** Spider the Rat King, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[The Amazing Maurice and Hishis Educated Rodents]]'', was eight blind rats tied together by their tails. The only way to survive was for them to think as one, and the resulting hive mind was strong enough to control an entire town's rat population.
** He also inverts the idea with Miss Pointer/Mrs. Pickles in Thud. [[Mind Hive|Two people living in one body]].
** Not to mention [[Magical Computer|Hex]], which is a ''literal'' hive mind.
