** And there's the Marvel character [[Immortal Iron Fist|"The Bride of Nine Spiders"]], who, when she lifts up her [[Stripperiffic]] outfit, reveals a mass of rotted, webbed flesh swarming with spiders that she can use to attack her enemies. Marvel loves their [[The Worm That Walks|worms that walk]].
** And The Swarm, a [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|Nazi]] scientist made of [[Bee
* The ''[[Birds of Prey]]'' foe Entity was a nanobot swarm that consumed an industrial spy and maintained his basic humanoid shape.

Line 125:
* In the third ''[[Lexx]]'' movie, "Eating Patterns", the crew of the Lexx stumble onto an isolated colony of scavengers who are infested with wormlike parasites. The Queen Worm, which is roughly the size of a [[Sea Monster]], creates fake people to act as its eyes and ears on the rest of the colony.
* One scene in Disney's ''Mars and Beyond'' shows a pursuing alien transforming from a swarm of insects while chasing a secretary.
* ''[[
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'' has done this to spice up the [[Monster of the Week]]. In ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'', thousands of all-devouring monster termites could come together to make a monster, who was pretty hard to damage because hitting him just knocked loose a few of the pests. Also, Craterites - holo-[[Mooks]] used in training simulations - came to life and terrorized town (and it ''wasn't'' the usual villains' doing.) Eventually, they came together to make a humanoid mishmosh of themselves that was [[Humongous Mecha]] scale.
* In ''[[Andromeda]]'', a guest turned out to be composed of nanobots.
Line 140:
* While they can't construct a bipedal form and go for a walk ...[[Paranoia Fuel|yet]], South American army ants regularly form nests and bridges from their own massed bodies.
* Blister Beetle Grubs form themselves into the shape of the female of a certain species of bee, in order to lure it into trying to mate with the bee-of-worms, which secretes pheromones to help the process along ("Hey, that doesn't look like a bee and * sniff sniff* Oh Baby..."). Then they cling to the male, transfer to the female when Real Bee-boinking goes on, all to hitch a ride to the female's nest, which is full of tender bee larvae...
* [
* Slime molds, are essentially single-celled organisms that every now and again come together to form composite creatures, up to roughly 30cm x 20cm in extreme cases.
* [[Pantomime Animal|Animal costumes]] that require multiple people, the most famous examples being 2-person horse costumes and Chinese New Year dragons.
Line 217:
* {{spoiler|Zouken Matou}} from ''[[Fate Stay Night]]'' will turn into The Worm That Walks whenever his current body is destroyed or worn out, after which [[Body Horror|he'll use the worms to attack someone and rebuild himself a new body from their flesh]].
* All the enemies from the Subspace in the Subspace Emissary mode for ''[[Super Smash Bros]]: Brawl'' are constructed of "[http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Bug shadow bugs]" {{spoiler|extracted from Mr. Game & Watch.}}
* The Pain from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3''. While the real one is not composed of bees, he is able to control bees by having them sting him until the bees think that he is one of them. To make matters worse, he grows, within him, [[Bee

** The mini-boss Deathsword (who, as the name suggests, appears to be a lich wielding a large sword) of Arbiter's Grounds disintegrates into a massive swarm of scarabs after being defeated.
Line 235:
== [[Web Original]] ==
* A swarm of tiny insect-like aliens able to infest humans and walk around in their skin makes up the first [[Cosmic Horror]] in the novel/webnovel ''[[John Dies At the End]],'' with the novel's characteristic sense of tact. "Just call me 'Shitload.' Because there’s a shitload of us in here." (A clever [[Shout
** Later, the narrator's Hyundai gets carjacked by a human-shaped pile of cockroaches.
* This is one theory behind what exactly {{spoiler|Ace}} of ''[[Ruby Quest (Roleplay)|Ruby Quest]]'' is.
