Line 119:
* In ''The Featherbedders'' by Frank Herbert it's a reason why telepathic Slorin only rely on [[Metamorphosis|polymorphing]] to infiltrate societies they are parasiting upon.
{{quote|[[Jedi Mind Trick|A nudge from the Slorin mind-cloud]] helped, of course, but this carried its own perils. The nudged mind sometimes developed powers of its own - with terrifying results.}}
{{quote|Next time you find a blob of something jes' lyin' in a field, you leave it alone, hear? [...] It was you made him so dang strong, pokin' him that way. Slorin aren't all that strong 'less'n you ignite'em, hear?}}
* The Great Race of Yith are a [[Proud Scholar Race]] of [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] who first appeared in [[H.P. Lovecraft]]’s story “The Shadow Out of Time” and are referenced in many later stories in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. These interdimensional beings have a unique way of exploring and studying the universe; they use their potent [[Psychic Powers]] to [[Body Surf|swap their minds with natives of the worlds they wish to study]], placing the victims’ minds in their bodies. Now, victims of this mind swap are prisoners, but the other Yith are smart enough to know such prisoners are no threat to them and have no means of escape (where would they go?), so a human stuck in a Yith’s body is allowed to do whatever he wants. Many of them use the time to peruse the Yiths’ vast libraries containing knowledge accumulated over eons of this practice (done with countless races other than humans, including primordial beings who inhabited the Earth before humans) and when the Yith’s project is complete and it reverses the process, the human retains that knowledge - which is often the type [[These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know|humans were never meant to learn.]] Several human villains in Lovecraftian stories have been “touched” in this way by a Yith.
