Line 18:
* An ad for [[The BBC]] had a head made of disembodied heads. People complained.
* This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OHY-2bv0vk Duracell Ultra commercial] accidentally evokes this trope. Anyone else thinks that these little pink Duracell Bunnies look like...a mass of squirming maggots?
* There's a recent{{when}} Prius commercial that centers on a human...made out of dozens of tiny humans. The horrifying beast gets out of bed, brushes its "teeth," etc. Yes, a link to it or something might be more informative, but really, you don't [[Body Horror|want to]] [[Uncanny Valley|see this]].

Line 167:
** The [[Call a Pegasus A Hippogryph|Lamia]] from 4th Edition [[Dungeons & Dragons]] is an evil fey creature which is a seething swarm of scarab beetles wrapped around the flesh-stripped bones of a powerful fey creature. Many lamias take the form of eladrin that they've hollowed out this way.
** The great-granddaddy of all these D&D Worms That Walk was the cifal, a rather forgettable colonial-insect monster from the 1E ''Fiend Folio''.
*** Whom they just dumped into the recent{{when}} version of ''[[Gamma World]]'', along with [[Our Monsters Are Weird|all the other effed-up D&D monsters]]
** A rare Good-aligned version appears in, of all places, the [[Eldritch Abomination]]-filled ''Lords of Madness'' 3.5 sourcebook, with the silthilar—sentient swarms with just a touch of the [[Mad Scientist]] when they fuse into their solid form.
** Roach thralls in ''D20 Modern''.
