Some Body Snatchers simply have no patience.
Maybe they're committing Grand Theft Me, only to find that they're quickly wearing their new bodies out. Maybe no one person they possess has all the skills they need. Maybe they have no idea who's good to take over until they've done so. Maybe they're afraid of being found if they stay in one body too long. Maybe their preferences for a pleasurable existence tend heavily towards being Allergic to Routine. Or maybe they're just plain nuts. In any case, when a Body Snatcher is constantly switching from body to body, they are said to Body Surf.
Naturally, this makes them hard to catch. If this is done in a closed environment, you get a Ten Little Murder Victims scenario — only the identity of The Mole changes, making things considerably harder for the heroes. Of course, it's considerably harder for the villain, too, who had better be a really good actor if people aren't going to be able to quickly tell who is Not Himself.
How this is done depends on if the surfer is corporeal or not. If it is, it may leave one victim as a Chest Burster or Orifice Evacuation, and enter another through Orifice Invasion. If not, it could move through bodies freely, or be limited in some way, such as requiring the new body to touch the old one.
Compare Vain Sorceress. May happen when people play hackey sack with a Heart Drive capable of Demonic Possession. Sometimes doing this winds up with the being possessing people getting Trapped in the Host.
Not to be confused with the move of the same name in [PROTOTYPE], wherein you surf using a body. Nor it is related to Body Sled. Or Crowd Surfing, for that matter.
Compare and Contrast Body Backup Drive, where the target body usually isn't occupied when the new host moves in.

In Adventure Time, The Lich has this ability. Whenever his old body is destroyed, he simply surfs to a new one. The first time, Finn manages to kill his old body, so his soul transfers into Princess Bubblegum. After that body is shattered and he's exorcised, he possesses The Snail to escape. In the Season 4 finale, he does it again, taking the body of Billy, which ultimately allows his plan to succeed. It's unknown whether The Multiverse affected his current body.

In Empire from the Ashes, the mutineer's inner council managed their constant manipulation of the human race without going into stasis by transplanting their brains as necessary into the bodies of lesser mutineers who had obediently gone into stasis. Less important mutineers have to make do with regular human bodies.

Wonder Woman (1987): The Post-Crisis Giganta started out her villainous career by trying to transfer her essence into Wonder Woman to save herself from a fatal illness, but the attempt was stopped by Wonder Girl and Zuel's assistant had to transfer her into a gorilla's body out of desperation. Zuel was displeased with her new body and found herself a human victim whose body and sizeshifting abilities are most commonly associated with the villain.

The Archdemons of Dragon Age lore take over a nearby darkspawn if their bodies are destroyed. The first Blight lasted over a hundred years before somebody figured out how to turn people into Grey Wardens, who are the only people capable of stopping an Archdemon. If a Grey Warden kills an Archdemon, the two souls cancel each other out in a spectacular lightshow, permanently killing both.
When Flemeth learns about this she realizes that she can combine these two by tricking the archdemon soul into the body of her unborn grandchild (who would not have a soul yet), thereby salvaging the soul of the Old God...for her own mysterious purpose, of course.

Hunter: The Vigil provides the Owls, disembodied spirits that take over humans or vampires and turn them into rotting, blood drinking corpses known as Bloodjackers. When the corpse rots or is destroyed, The Owl simply grabs a new host. Some actually keep rooms full of fresh corpses, waiting to be possessed. The Owls are pretty much what hunters know about the strix from Vampire: The Requiem. Over there, the strix have the power to not only jump into human corpses (which will kill the host instantly), but to also possess vampires who are in torpor or whose souls are currently out of their body due to possession or astral projection powers.

He's fully aware of his presence, and targets other Kings in hope of gaining their powers. And until the end of season 2, Weismann was stuck in Tooru Hieda's body, and Tooru's consciousness was buried under Weismann's until Weismann returned to his original body.

X-Men:
The villain Proteus burns through the bodies he possesses as he uses his mutant powers. However, assuming he doesn't ever use his reality-warping powers, he could stay in a single body indefinitely.
Mountjoy, a villain from one of the comic's various dystopian futures, does this. He physically merges with his victims to possess them, and sometimes consumes their bodies for sustenance.
Apocalypse is known to do this. While he has healing and regeneration powers as well as technology to prolong his life, this is not enough to achieve immortality due to his powers slowly destroying his body. Apocalypse has had to from time to time forcibly steal the body of an unfortunate victim, who he terms as "vessels", his abilities allowing him to take over every aspect of their body to remake them in his appearance. Naturally he feels that someone being chosen to be his vessel is an honor.

Angel:
The second episode, "Lonely Hearts", dealt with a demon who jumped from body to body in search of the one it could live in permanently. It was a metaphor for searching for the perfect mate and, indeed, most of the episode took place in a nightclub.
The third-season episode "Carpe Noctem" features an old man who shuttles his consciousness in and out of young men in order to experience the joys of youth, but the spell destroys any living body he possesses. Then he ends up in Angel...
The Senior Partners are unable to inhabit our dimension while in their native forms, instead manifesting in the bodies of "lower demons" or using living mouthpieces.

The Ganymede in Robert Jackson Bennett's American Elsewhere does this countless times. In the novel the town of Wink, New Mexico has several trans-dimensional eldritch abominations living in it, mostly in living body suits. Most aren't evil so they only change bodies when they need to. The Ganymede is evil, uses up the bodies and jumps to new ones as its whims dictate.

In the sixth season episode "Leap" of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Izel is revealed to be an Energy Being able to possess anyone. She possessed Davis to survive a Never Found the Body situation in the previous episode, and she jumps between several hosts and nearly steals the Gravitonium sphere before the main cast figures out what's going on. When Izel is cornered, she just starts surfing between everyone in the room, taunting that they can't hurt her without killing her host. By the end of the following episode, however, Deke and FitzSimmons have figured out how this ability works and figured out a way to neutralize it.

In Heaven Can Wait (1978), Warren Beatty's character Joe Pendleton is a quarterback who is taken from his body "before his time" by an over-anxious guardian angel. His body is turned into ashes by the time this is discovered, however, and he thus must find a new one to inhabit. While waiting for a more fitting corpse, Joe settles for that of an elderly millionaire.
Here Comes Mr. Jordan and the Chris Rock comedy Down To Earth (2001) does a similar thing with a prizefighter and a black comedian, respectively.

Doro, the adversary in Octavia Butler's Wild Seed and Mind Of My Mind. He uses up the body he's in (in months at the most), then jumps to the nearest body, killing the person in it and taking it over. Kill him (or just really startle him) and he jumps automatically. He doesn't know how to die, and he's been doing it since the Ancient Egyptians raided his bronze-age village in Nubia.

The first movie shows that, since every human still plugged into the Matrix is a potential Agent, the Resistance cannot afford to leave witnesses when they go about trying to free people. Any populated area in the city is extremely dangerous. In a matter of seconds, an agent can jump into anyone nearby and shoot you dead. This is displayed to dramatic effect in the finale when Neo runs through a market and an apartment complex. Agent Smith, Agent Brown and Agent Jones are constantly taking shots at Neo from behind or from the sides as they try to kill him.

However it seems like they can infect only a single victim - the one that possessed Suneo jumps over to infect Nobita once Suneo gets knocked out, and later Nobita gets hit by a soap spray which removes the Yadori infecting him. When Suneo regains consciousness he's back to his normal self.

Orochimaru from Naruto plans to live forever in order to learn all the world's jutsu. That is impossible since new jutsus are made everyday, and some are handed down from family to family and kept a secret, AND some require years and years to master, whether you're a prodigy or not. Not to mention that some require a Kekkai Genkai, which are locked behind one's genetics. To this end he developed his Living Corpse Reincarnation jutsu, which allowed him to be able to transfer his soul into another person's body, and the perks include acquiring any special abilities that the meat puppet may have. He can only perform this jutsu once every three years. In theory this could be the closest thing to immortality, but the reality is the host body will eventually weaken and reject Orochimaru's invading soul, so he will have to find a new host before it is too late. How long it takes for the host to reject him depends on how powerful the host is to begin with: the body he used as an emergency measure wasn't tremendously decayed by the time the three years were up while a powerful hosts like Sasuke or Itachi could serve him a reasonable term, if not a whole lifetime.

The Supergirl villain Worldkiller-1 transferred his soul from one body to another the whole time, looking for a perfect host. In the Red Daughter of Krypton arc, as Supergirl was fighting the leader of an alien race, Worldkiller-1 emerged through the Diasporan damaged body and tried to snatch Kara's body. She forced him out, though, so he transferred his spirit into the bodies of random bystanders — who were burnt out nearly instantly — until Kara agreed to let him surf into her body.

The Outer Limits (1995):
"Better Luck Next Time" features two nearly immortal aliens who can inhabit any living host and can survive for however long they can bind to the central nervous system. After the host dies, they have only moments to transfer into another body until they die, since they can't live too long in the Earth's atmosphere. If they transfer, they will still live for however long they can repeat the sequence. If they fail, they disintegrate. This was a sequel to another episode, "Ripper": one of the duo was in fact Jack the Ripper.
"Free Spirit" features a person involved in a mind-transfer experiment whose consciousness became disconnected from his body after the scientists chose to terminate the experiment by killing the test subjects. He takes several years to learn how to possess people's minds and then comes back to get revenge on his killers. He's become so good at it that in one scene he repeatedly jumps between two people to finish a single sentence.

Guilty Gear X2 has Eddie, who is looking for a new body to possess after Zato died. His story mode pretty much revolves around trying to do this and repeatedly failing (can't possess Zappa, for example, because Zappa's got the spiritual equivalent of a "No Vacancies" sign up).

As part of the premise of Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero, the characters travel to other dimensions and take over the bodies of specific inhabitants.

The main character in the Korean horror film Dead Friend suffers from Easy Amnesia, and doesn't even remember that she had swapped minds with the main villain. Since this happened just as she was about to drown, the villain quickly jumped into the next nearest girl, and spends the rest of the film possessing different characters to get revenge.

In The Innocents, Involuntary Shapeshifting is portrayed more in the vein of body surfing than actual shapeshifting. When someone shifts into another's form, the person they shift into is rendered unconscious. And if June stays in someone long enough, she will start to feel their emotions and access their memories. If a shifter swaps into multiple people in succession, everyone but the last link in the chain is rendered catatonic, only able to repeat the last phrase they spoke. June's mother caused Harry's father's dementia by shifting into him, then going on a shifting spree before finally getting control of herself.

In The War Against the Chtorr books by David Gerrold, members of the Telepathy Corps are fitted with brain implants that allow them to "switch minds" with others with a similar implant through radio transmission. The implants are supposed to be used only for military intelligence-gathering, but some agents (nicknamed "carpetbaggers") like to jump from body to body just for fun, which rather annoys the telepath who has to inhabit the body after a night of debauchery.

Corpsetaker from The Dresden Files. He (she?) goes through two different bodies during his (her?) time in the limelight, forcing Dresden to engage the Whack A Mole scenario in order to kill him (her her her). The twist? He's right the first time around, and he knows that.
To elaborate, in Dead Beat, Corpsetaker is in the body of Alicia, a college-age girl. Later on, when fighting Anastasia Luccio, head of the Wardens, Corpsetaker suckers her into gutting Alicia's body, then transfers his (her) mind over to Luccio's, leaving Luccio's mind dying in the younger body. Harry, however, figures this out immediately and shoots Luccio/Corpsetaker in the noggin. Of course, this leaves Luccio stuck in the young and attractive (but magically weak) body instead of her old one. His uninformed companion declares him a traitor and almost kills him before he can justify his actions.
In Ghost Story, Corpsetaker is back as a ghost. S/he steals Butters' body and attempts to Body Surf into Molly, but is repelled.

Dr Bright of the SCP Foundation. His spirit is tied to SCP-963, so anytime his body dies, the SCP can be transferred to a new body. Bright is also a darker example of the trope than usual, since possessing someone even briefly wipes their original brain pattern.
Ditto for SCP-1510, an ancient Roman soldier's helmet containing the cursed spirit of its former owner. Any man between 28 and 35 years old who wears it will become possessed by the soldier's spirit, although unlike Bright's hosts they go back to normal when they take it off.

PandoraHearts:
The main character, Oz was originally an Animate Inanimate Object that came to life due to the powers of the Abyss. He had two rabbit bodies that he bounced back and forth from — when one was destroyed, the other became a chain — and then when Alice took his own body, his soul went into his CONTRACTOR'S body, so when his contractor de-aged again (REALLY long story) he had his fourth body. He even tells Echo it could happen again if his contractor's body dies.
Alice also seems to be capable of this, considering she hijacked Oz's rabbit body from him when her own was dying.

The Ascians in Final Fantasy XIV can do this since they don't have a true body. Whenever someone kills them, the Asican's soul hangs between the planes of life and death until they recover and then they find a new body to hijack. However, hijacking someone's body is very taxing on the hijacker and doubly so if said body is actually alive and not dead. Even with his great magical strength, Lahabrea is easily defeated by the Warrior of Light because he constantly switched bodies when the old ones were no longer useful to him, thus making him very weak. On the opposite end, Emet-Selch uses cloned bodies of his emperor guise, thus whenever he's ready to "die", he can just hop into a new younger version of the same body and not wear himself out. This makes the fight against him much more intense and difficult compared to Lahabrea.

This is the entire concept behind the superhero Deadman, whose sole power is the ability to effortlessly possess anybody, from children to Superman to paintings to giant crabs. He shows off to ability to rapidly possess people in The Brave and the Bold #86, where a Brainwashed and Crazy Deadman makes every single person on a crowded street attack Batman as he passes them by. First, a cop tries to shoot Batman, then a blind guy tries to smack him with his walking stick, then a businessman throws a briefcase at him, and finally a truck tries to crash into Batman just as he grapples away. In Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot, he quickly jumps from a corrupt businessman to a female skater to a passing man.

In Clive Barker's Jericho, the player character is a commander of an occult special forces military unit, and dies rather early into the game.

Schlock Mercenary: AI version. Ennesby is a viral-analogue glass-soluble vanilla-helix AI originally designed as an entertainment intelligence. This means he is essentially a living computer virus, and can easily head-hop between different systems, even wresting control of hardware from the original owners in rare circumstances. Normally, an AI is as attached to their hardware as organics are to their brains. Most other AIs are dismissive of this ability, saying head-hopping is the only thing vanilla-helix is good for.

Billy Kincaid, a child-killer who became one of Spawn's early victims, came back as a ghost that possessed people and made them act out their violent impulses, damning them to Hell and getting stronger in the process, and evading Spawn, Cogliostro, Sam and Twitch by jumping from body to body. Spawn defeats him by getting him to possess a cop and luring him into the Dead Zone, a place in the city where Heaven is in control and Hell is weakened, trapping him in the officer's body for a well-deserved asskicking that ultimately ends with Twitch killing Billy and the officer with a single headshot.

Professor Fitz in Fans! surfed through several bodies in order to avoid dying of old age. At one point, Will Erikson allowed Fitz to swap bodies with him in order to insure Fitz' loyalty to Rikk and AEGIS. Fitz is currently inhabiting the body of a fire-breathing dragon and loving every minute of it.

This is a major gameplay innovation in The 3rd Birthday, a sequel to Parasite Eve. It also doubles as Mental Time Travel. Aya is using a machine to travel a year into the past, temporarily imposing over the physical presence of soldiers and civilians in the past; she can hop into another one at any time which lets her hop onto roofs or take over gun emplacements to use against the bizarre monsters plaguing the land.
Oddly enough, this is to the benefit of the people she possesses, as Aya has access to more firepower and special abilities than anyone else. In addition, simply by taking over their bodies, she's allowing them to regenerate their health, which they can't do otherwise. Many of the challenges in the game revolve around keeping people alive, which will require a lot of body surfing during the tough segments.

The Cyberiad: In "The Fifth Sally, or the Mischief of King Balerion" King Balerion of Cymbronia, a great lover of hide-and-seek, promises a royal reward to anyone who will instruct him on the best hiding place in the world. Trurl and Klapaucius enter the contest with a "portable personality transformator", a device which, when worn on the head, can swap one's personality with that of another person by simply bumping them in the head. Balerion at once uses the apparatus to go on a mind-swapping spree through his capital, willfully causing chaos and shifting into another body whenever he has got the old one injured or got it into trouble with the law. As Balerion is unresponsive to all exhortations to use the device responsibly, Trurl and Klapaucius eventually punish him by transferring his personality into a cuckoo clock, and shifting the personality of one of his victims into the royal body to be king in his place.

There were a race of body-hopping aliens in Jack Chalker's The Identity Matrix. Thing is, they weren't just possessing the bodies, they were instantaneously switching minds, which means that there were a lot of people left behind in the wrong bodies afterwards, including the protagonist, who winds up getting switched twice. And never gets the original body back.

In the third Iron Man annual issue, anyone who held the wand of the (then-deceased) villain Molecule Man was eventually possessed by his essence. He is defeated when Man-Thing grabs the wand, and since he doesn't have a mind to possess, Molecule Man is left trapped helpless in the wand (although later eventually figures out how to recreate his body).

Big Finish Doctor Who:
The Fearmonger has the titular character jumping into people... first the leader of the biggest political party, and then, apparently, the Doctor. At the end, it's revealed the monster was in another guy up until the point where Ace had been in hospital — whereupon it jumped over to her, getting her to try to kill the Doctor.
"Retail Therapy" in the Ninth Doctor Chronicles concludes with the Ninth Doctor, with Jackie Tyler's help, transferring his consciousness into the body of the villain, reversing the life draining devices he sent out, and surfing back to his own body as the man's body "wears a bit thin", so to speak.
In Tales from the Vault, Kali Korash is able to transfer his essence from one body to another when his current host dies.

Nebiros has this ability in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2. He appears with a gaggle of other demons, which he'll periodically revive if killed. Should the player decide to focus on Nebiros, he will simply take over one of the other demons and transform him into the next Nebiros.
Cain a.k.a. Naoya combines this with Resurrective Immortality. Every time he dies, he reincarnates with all his previous memories intact. Unfortunately, this isn't consensual, and has been going on since biblical times.

Quantum Leap and its sequel series are built around this premise, but the body surfer is the protagonist, and is required to "set things right" in the person's life by the end of each episode. It does involve Mental Time Travel, and a full mind swap in the earlier series. The sequel series even explains that from a leapee's perspective, they black out for a little while until the leaper departs.

In The Skinjacker Trilogy by Neal Shusterman the afterlight Allie finds she is able to hear the thoughts of and "skinjack" (a.k.a. posses) the living, and runs into other afterlights like her in the sequels. She ends up taking over peoples bodies as a convenient way to travel and because being in a living person's body is addicting to skinjackers. But she keeps switching bodies because if a skinjacker stays in one person's body too long, they are unable to leave. She tries hard not to be villainous though. In the first book she prefers to call it "body surfing," thinking "skinjacking," the proper term for the trope in Everlost, sounds too villainous.

Bounty Hamster. The episode "Trading Spaces" has the Villain of the Week steal a device which allowed any two people to switch bodies. Our heroes have to track down the villain while ending up in the bodies of the locals, or each-other, or in one case a villain from a past episode. At one point the titular hamster, the girl who hired him, and the villain were all in the same body. At the end of the episode the villain ends in a cactus.

The Goa'uld, a snake-like parasite species, in Stargate SG-1 can do this, but tend to stick with one host as long as possible. (For example, Apophis kept a body that had been badly scarred by the torture he'd endured at the hands of a rival.) Anubis, on the other hand, was part Energy Being and once his containment field was destroyed, he had to possess humans. The bodies burned out quickly, necessitating taking new ones frequently.

In Every Day by David Levithan, the main character A wakes up every day in a new body. He has no body of his own and barely manages to scrape out a personality of his own. In fact, he may not even have a gender — the novel is in first person so the only indication of his gender is in the book summary. A is content with his life, never getting too attached, until he wakes up in the body of Justin and falls in love with his girlfriend Rhiannon.

In Destroy All Humans 2 Crypto can possess pretty much anybody walking on the street. Which, since he is a short grey alien, is handy for walking around undetected, talking to mission givers (some of whom only talk to specific kind of people) and if he's possessing a cop or soldier, calling off the hunt for him. The downside is that it drains his host's life.

Multiple examples in Mass Effect:
The Geth are in fact an entire race of computer programs, who can transfer themselves from one platform to another, either to escape danger or simply to take control of a more appropriate platform (a Geth Trooper as opposed to a Colossus or a Dreadnought). As a tradeoff, Geth typically have to operate in networked groups.
Reapers can also take control of indoctrinated minions, though this plays more like Demonic Possession, leaving Shepard to deal with a super-charged (and glowing) Boss in Mook Clothing.

Reynardine from Gunnerkrigg Court is a demon fox-being who has the ability to Body Surf, but the events of the plot prevent him from doing so. Good thing, too, because when he does it, he kills the host.
Coyote had the original, non-deadly version of the ability, until he gave it to Reynardine, and mostly used it for mischief. It should also be noted that Reynard had no idea of the side effect before he used the power.

In The Flash (2014), the Season 4 Big Bad Clifford "The Thinker" DeVoe learns to do this thanks to a Cool Chair built by his wife. However, at first, he can only do it to a metahuman with Psychic Powers. Afterwards, though, it appears to work on anyone, as he then moves on to Becky "Hazard" Sharpe, much to his wife's chagrin, and later Izzy "The Fiddler" Bowin, in both cases because the dark matter which fuels his massive intellect is causing his host bodies to eventually fail. Later, he transfers briefly into Edwin "Folded Man" Gauss, before finally settling on Ralph "Elongated Man" Dibny, whose shapeshifting powers make his body stable enough to hold the dark matter without burning out (and as a bonus, lets him regain his original appearance.

In Xchange, the titular company allows people who can afford it to swap minds for a short period of time as a form of instant travel (or just plain entertainment). The protagonist, Stuart Toffler, is a company's PR guy who is told by his boss to go to a city on the opposite coast via Xchange to attend a funeral. Unfortunately, he finds out too late that the guy he swapped with is a contract killer running from the law by constantly stealing bodies and running away with them. Stuart is required to "vacate" his temporary body for its rightful owner. Unfortunately, the only available body is that of a 4-day clone, and body swaps are forbidden more than twice in that time period. The film is (very) loosely based on Robert Sheckley's novel Mindswap.

In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) the Philosopher's Stone can be used to Body Surf by transferring someone's soul and mind into a new body. The series Big Bad has this technique repeatedly and is over 400 years old. Unfortunately the amount of time she can spend in each body lessens each time she does it, meaning she requires more and more Philosopher's Stones to keep going.

A rare non-supernatural example: In Taking Lives, this is essentially the tactic of a serial killer - he kills people who look similar to himself, dresses them up as his old persona (killing them in messy ways helps), and steals their identity, continuing his life as the victim.

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, this is M's power as a Moebius, and, when she battles against the Ouroboros, she transfers her consciousness into each of them in turn and has them fight one another. Taion figures out a way to use his Mondo to track who M is controlling in order to help the team hold their own in the fight against her. M's power turns out to even be capable of a full "Freaky Friday" Flip, as she secretly swaps bodies with Mio as part of her Thanatos Gambit to show N the error of his ways.

In Known Space, Jan Corben essentially Body Surfed through a series of clone daughters, via brain transplant. Each time she would assume the clone's identity, "inherit" all her stuff, and the identity attached to the old body would "die in a tragic accident". She survived for a timespan of 20, maybe 30 generations that way before suffering a genuine tragic accident.

The A.I. O'Malley from Red vs. Blue. O'Malley's degree of control over its host seems to vary from individual to individual: Caboose's mind is completely subsumed while possessed (which may account for his sudden drop in IQ once it's removed), Doc develops O'Malley as a campy would-be universal tyrant split personality, and most of the other soldiers simply have some bizarre aspect of their character amplified to dangerous levels. Church somehow escapes its effects, ostensibly due to being that much of an asshole.
As revealed in Reconstruction, it's because he's the Alpha A.I.—which means O'Malley is merely a fragment of his personality to begin with.
Trivia: The only soldier to escape possession is Tucker, due to the fact that the RT crew decided an evil Tucker would be too obscene to broadcast.
It should also be pointed out that any AI appears to be capable of body-surfing, (or at least the ones that are more than just fragments) but none to the degree that O'Malley is capable of. After "dying", both Tex and Church possess other people or robot bodies, but only O'Malley is shown to be able to possess someone and still give the other person some free will.

Dimitri Yuriev in Xenosaga also does this. At the time the game begins, he's been possessing bodies for at least 200 years because he's terrified of dying and having to face U-DO aka God. He dedicates every waking moment to finding a way to destroy U-DO and comes very close to doing it. He'd be a Tragic Monster, if he wasn't a complete asshole.

Player characters in Nexus Clash respawn in a different, random body every time they die. This is constrained by character class, and each class has a different set of possible random bodies that one can wake up in. Unlike most examples of this trope, it's implied that you aren't displacing the original owners of those bodies, who were already removed from the picture by the Powers That Be.

In the universe of Tales From My D&D Campaign, most Warforged either died or put themselves in suspended animation after their creators died of the Astral Plague. While a few Warforged have learned enough about artificing to maintain their golem bodies, an even smaller group, called the "Dark Ancients", have instead developed the ability to disconnect their consciousness from their physical body, allowing them to possess other construct bodies. It is widely suspected that the Dark Ancients are behind the occasional rediscovery of caches of sleeping Warforged, as this ensures a supply of fresh bodies.

In Disgaea Infinite, one of the Prinnies has his soul sucked out of his body by a talking magical pocket watch. He has to jump between the other character's bodies to solve the main plot of the game. The fun part of the watch is that not only can he see events from the eyes of the person he's possessed, he can also hear their thoughts, and can influence their decisions, making them do things totally out of character i.e. Laharl hugging a sleeping Prinny or Etna professing love to Laharl.

In "Wolf in the Fold", spirit Redjac hops from body to body while committing violent murders because he's actually Jack the Ripper. And another episode, "Return to Tomorrow", had three noncorporeal life forms using the bodies of the Enterprise crew to construct android bodies for themselves.
"Turnabout Intruder" had one of Captain Kirk's former lovers, Dr. Janice Lester, swap her mind with his so she can live her dream of being captain of a starship. Then, she realizes she needs to kill her old body to make the transfer permanent.

Pony POV Series:
A rather horrifying version is done by Discord during his first reign. As a spirit, destroying his body merely frees him to take over another one (explaining why Celestia didn't just smash his statue to bits when she had the chance). After her sister Galaxia shatters Discord's statue when he's defeated with the Rainbow of Light, he possesses G1 Wind Whistler (Celestia initially refuses to tell whether it was her or Galaxy, as she didn't want their memory tainted by association with a monster like Discord, but Dark World eventually confirmed it) and morphs her body into the one he has now.
In the Dark World, Fluttercruel proves she's inherited this trait from her "father" — Rarity kills her, but her spirit is able to resist being Dragged Off to Hell, and hijacks Sparkler's body for herself. After being killed a second time, she tries to possess Twilight, but Fluttershy's and Pinkie Pie's souls restrain her so she can be blasted with the Elements and banished from mortal reality before she can succeed.

In Noob: La Quête Légendaire, physical god Dortös has to posses a mortal host to survive on Olydri's surface. The character has been shown using two bodies so far due to the first being possessed from a lack of options and more compatible hosts existing out there. However, the character's dialogue as it takes leave of his first host's travel companions implies there is a least a little Possession Burnout going on as well, as it talks about using the body until its resources run out. The video game context probably make the burnout likely to be Cast from Hit Points rather than Cast from Lifespan.

In My Little Mommies, The Big Bad Sleipnir has this power, but with certain restrictions. You see, he's a Monster Progenitor (called the "Father of All Monsters" in-story), he created griffins, minotaurs, manticores, and others (though he didn't create dragons) via magical mirrors. If his body was killed, he could jump to any sentient creature created by a mirror and shape its flesh into his own form, but only if they were directly born from a mirror, their descendants were immune. He's currently Sealed Evil in a Can, and plans to have his spirit inhabit one of the Mane Six's three foals created by the mirror at the start of the story (or Dinky, who was created the same way).

Legend of the Five Rings: The villains Iuchiban and Yajinden do this. At one point Iuchiban attempts a Grand Theft Me on previous main villain Daigotsu, but for the most part their hosts are unimportant to the plot. They generally warp the bodies into their own image, however.
Less nefariously, the Kami Togashi body-hopped for over a thousand years to guide the Empire towards the Second Day of Thunder. All of his hosts were willing members of his Clan hand-picked for the duty, however.
Similarly, the Kami Shiba used his Clan's Ancestral Sword as a focus through which he can return in the soul of the current Champion of his Clan, all of which were his direct descendants. However, he is incapable of actively directing the new Champion, and instead acts more like a spirit guide.

She is forced out of one victim only to possess another.

In an episode of The Fairly OddParents!, Timmy gets a buzzer-like device that he can use to switch bodies with anyone he shakes hands with. After he inadvertently switches with Crocker, he has to rush back home to keep Crocker in his body from finding his Godparents. Because Timmy's dad won't let Crocker's body in the house (thinking that Timmy's mom has feelings for Crocker), Timmy has to switch with his dad. Things go humorously wrong as Timmy accidentally bumps into and switches with everyone else in the house: Timmy in his dad's body switches with his mom, Timmy in his mom's body switches with Vicky, Timmy in Vicky's body switches with Vicky's dog, and Timmy in the dog's body finally switches with Crocker in Timmy's body.

The Ravenloft setting has the odem, an undead spirit that Body Surfs as its signature ability. The cursed, headless Jacqueline Montarri is a variant of this trope, who steals just the heads of one victim (preferably beautiful) after another, wearing them to acquire the victims' abilities, then replacing them as they rapidly wear out.

In Elizabeth Moon's The Deed of Paksenarrion books, Dorrin returns to her birth family's home to put most of the family under attainder for crimes against the crown and attempts to salvage the rest. In the process of cleaning up her family's mess, she discovers that multiple members of her birth family do this and are now inhabiting the bodies of children in the nursery and people not related to her but who had done business with the family. One such soul tries to take over Stammel who manages to fight it off, but ends up blind as a result.

In the original, the Intellect Devourer has taken over the prison warden and brainwashed several guards. If you're stealthy and you want some positive karma, you can snap the guards out of it and get them to flee. Otherwise, once you kill the first body . . . "Heeheehee, I'm HERE, foes!"

Avatar (Théophile Gautier): Balthazar Cherbonneau body swaps Octave and Olaf, but they return to him to switch back. Olaf's soul is restored, but Octave's soul makes no attempt to return to his own body, leaving a corpse to Balthazar. Fearing he might be get accused of murder, he gets the idea to transfer his soul to the corpse and leaving his own body dead, with the false news that Balthazar died in an accident.

The Incredible Hulk: The villain Xemnu the Titan is able to survive death by psychically transferring his mind into other bodies and gradually transforming them into a copy of his original form. By the time of Immortal Hulk, he's done this dozens of times over, and the mental and physical strain of it has begun to take a severe toll on his sanity; he's started talking in childish, sing-song speech patterns, like saying he's "hungwy" when he needs to recharge his powers.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: This is the method by which High Wizard Razen has served the Kingdom of Falmuth for centuries. By using a combination of soul-destroying magic and Possession magic, he can transfer his soul to new bodies when his current one gets too old. This also allows him to use any special abilities tied to the body he's taking over as shown when he has access to Shogou Taguchi's Berserker and Survivor Skills. However, his Old Master Gadra notes it has several weaknesses. He can't constantly switch bodies because of the taxing nature it would put on his own soul, because he has to destroy the body's original soul this locks him out any abilities or Skills tied to the soul (and as a rule the stronger abilities/Skills are almost always tied to the soul; he was lucky that Shogou's Unique Skills were tied to his body), and he'll never be able to use the body's full potential for himself since it wasn't originally his. In fact, Razen had to resort to this method because even he couldn't master Gadra's Reincarnation Secret Art.

Mukuro Rokudo in Reborn! (2004) can transfer his soul between any bodies he has injured with his weapon, including artificial box animals (don't ask)... and it's his favorite tactic.
Daemon Spade, as the Primo equivalent of Mukuro, also made use of this. This allows him to still be alive in Tsuna's time and be the villain of the Inheritance Cerimony arc.

Warhammer 40,000:
Notably averted: Daemonic possession is a regular occurrence, but it's a very difficult thing to set up and daemons can't easily leave their hosts without being pulled back into the Warp.
Lucius the Eternal, the Champion of Slaanesh, uses an unusual method: whenever he's killed, he slowly reincarnates into his killer (if they felt any satisfaction at all in having downed him), until the only thing remaining of the victim is yet another screaming face in Lucius' armor.

The wolf in Lost Ember is a "soul wanderer", capable of jumping into and controlling other animals and even switching between hosts on the fly. She doesn't cause any damage to the animals she possesses and they go back to going about their business when she's done with them. It helps that she can't take an animal too far from others of its species, so they're always able to return to their group without trouble.

An understated example in Edenborn: Dr. Hyoguchi theorizes that it is possible to overwrite a mind with another one from brain scans if the two bodies are genetically identical. He leaves a message to the Ten asking them to clone him and then overwrite the clone's mind with Hyoguchi's so that he can live again. The morality is nebulous; the clone's mind will cease to exist, but the process is painless and gradual and Hyoguchi recognizes the incredible sacrifice and asks for it as a gift. Both the member of the Ten who receives the message and the clone in question take the proposal seriously.

The main mechanic of Super Mario Odyssey, referred to as Capturing, lets you possess and control others with Cappy. You can control Goombas and Hammer Bros., Bullet Bills, taxis, frogs, Lava Bubbles, binoculars, trees, dinosaurs, and even other people. There are only two limitations to this ability - since the subject has to wear Cappy to maintain the connection, he can't possess anyone that's already wearing a hat, and there's a time limit on how long you can possess dinosaurs because they're just that strong.

"The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit": The Beast vacates its own body to take over archaeologist Toby Zed and, simultaneously, all of the Ood on the base.
Subverted in "Midnight": The other passengers are eager to accept the idea that the malevolent entity that has been possessing Sky has jumped into the Doctor, freeing her. Instead, not only is she still possessed, but is now playing a rather sick ventriloquism game in trying to get the Doctor killed...

In Lock In, a sizeable percentage of the population of the world is suffering from Hayden's Syndrome, one of the symptoms of a flu-like disease. The titular condition is of the And I Must Scream variety - the Haydens are unable to interact with the world in any way. After trillions of dollars in research, several methods of allowing the Haydens to live semi-normal lives are developed. One involves the use of Integrators, a rare form of Hayden who did not suffer a lock in, but whose brain chemistry was still altered. An Integrator can be used as a temporary vessel for a locked-in Hayden. The more common alternative is the use of Threeps, robotic avatars, although they don't provide for a full experience.

In Nomine: The Kyriotates (angels) and the Shedim (demons) are Body Surfers by necessity; they must possess the bodies of other beings while on Earth (unlike most angels and demons, who are given special bodies to use in the physical world) and they can only possess their hosts for a limited amount of time; the Kyrios have a "hard limit" of anywhere from a day to a week or so as to how long they can borrow a given body continuously, and Shedim are required to force their hosts to perform evil acts each day, and the host becomes more likely to resist the longer they have been possessed, so the demons don't usually stick around for more than a few days at a time because the host gets too hard to control.

Major plot points in several of the Wild Cards novels. One character is able to make others into "Jumpers" who body-surf by swapping meatbags with another. Meaning a single one of them can cause an entire room of people to switch bodies. When the Jumpers form an army bad things happen.
The Jumper "Prime" is revealed to be Edward St. John Latham, aka "Loophole", an Amoral Attorney who many believed owed his lack of a conscience - and resultant skills as a lawyer - to the wild card. It turned out he's honestly the best lawyer in the world - when his card finally turns, he gains the ability to body surf and create other body surfers via anal rape.

In Hellblazer, a low-grade warlock's plan to invoke this trope was foiled when he discovered that every human had a defensive aura that his disembodied presence couldn't overcome. Foiled, he had to settle for possessing a dog, which grew to immense proportions with the warlock's spirit inside. It's hinted that he moves on to a rat after his dog body is destroyed.

In Shattered Sky, the final book of the Star Shards Chronicles, one of the Vectors travels this way, taking a host body and forcing it to commit suicide so that it can travel to its next host (the Vectors require host bodies in our world, and will die if disembodied for too long), who then repeats the process until the Vector has reached its destination.

After being defeated by Hawke, before s/he strikes the final blow, his eyes briefly turn black and the Grey Warden (Larius or Janeka) that Hawke has allied with staggers in the background. It's further implied that Corypheus is now possessing them with the large Slasher Smile they wear as they leave.

In Valvrave the Liberator, the Kamitsuki - the pilots of the titular mecha, who become a sort of vampire - can do this. By biting another person's skin they take control of their bodies, which is connected to their ability to absorb 'Runes', tiny building blocks of information. The person returns to normal when they bite their original bodies back. They retain the abilities of the bodies they surf into, such as combat awareness, and language - in episode 16, Saki didn't know how to say "hello" in Dorssian to K-Zwölf before body-snatching him, but communicates fluently with other Dorssian soldiers once in his body.
This is how the Magius managed to take control of all the world's major nations. Their power is the source of the Kamitsuki's.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
The demon Eyghon in the second-season episode "The Dark Age" does this to several characters over the course of the episode. The catch is that he can only possess a dead or unconscious host, and, when his current body dies, it turns into a puddle of goo, spreading out to infect the next unfortunate dead/unconscious person who comes into contact with it. He eventually manages to possess Jenny Calendar, and when Angel tries to strangle Eyghon!Jenny, the demon jumps into Angel's body (who is technically undead, being a vampire and all) after Jenny's body nearly dies. The vampiric demon inside Angel's body then proceeds to defeat Eyghon for good: "I've had a demon inside me for a couple hundred years just waiting for a good fight."
The villain of sixth-season episode "After Life".

In Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, this is part of what made the villainous ghost Specter so dangerous. Most ghosts can only use Demonic Possession on a living being for a few minutes at best without artificial aid, but Specter had developed the ability so much that he could possess a body for days, and loved switching between them quickly, leaving Pac with no idea who he was, and not even Pac's True Companions could be trusted. Specter was so dangerous, Pac had to use an Engineered Public Confession to get him on Betrayus's bad side so he would be locked up, since he would keep coming back otherwise, something Pac hasn't done for any of ghostly foes before or since.

Captain Ginyu in Dragon Ball Z. Started out by snatching Goku's body, but when he realized that because he didn't know Goku's special fighting techniques, he had only a fraction of Goku's original power, he took a beating. Later, he decided to snatch Vegeta's body, as Vegeta was so powerful at the time that Ginyu wouldn't need to know very much about him to still be more powerful than any of the heroes at the time. He ended up inside the body of a frog and thus couldn't use his body-swapping technique because it required speaking, but later ended up stealing Bulma's body when she makes a device that allows him to communicate and almost managed to body-snatch Piccolo before being returned to the frog's body for good.
Ironically, this leaves Ginyu as the only survivor of Frieza's minions, as both his body (now occupied by the frog's mind) and his mind (now in the frog) end up on Earth, and Ginyu-in-the-frog is seen alive and well two Time Skips later. One is left to wonder what the lifespan of a Namekian frog is.
Ginyu returns, still in the frog's body, in Dragon Ball Super's adaption of Resurrection F. He tricks Tagoma into swapping bodies with him and fights the Z Fighters for a bit before Vegeta finally kills him, leaving Tagoma stuck in the frog's body.

In Tomb Raider (2013), this was how Queen Himiko stayed alive for hundreds of years. Whenever her body becomes too old for her she chooses a successor among her handmaidens. Then she transfers her soul into the girls body, destroying the original soul in the process. However the cycle was broken, when the latest handmaiden comitted suicide during the transfer ritual. As a result Himiko was trapped in her previous body which quickly decayed into a horrifying corpse. Now very pissed off Himiko causes the storms that keep people trapped on the island, while the solarii cult searches for a new host body. As it turns out the perfect replacement happens to be Lara's best friend Sam.

In the final book of the Darth Bane trilogy, bane attempts to learn this technique to forestall his death at the hands of his apprentice. He attempts to force his soul inside the body of his apprentice, it fails. Or does it?
It worked better for another character named Set Harth, who learned the technique from the Sith, but then decided to ditch them. Who needs ambitions to one day rule the galaxy when you can live forever, huh? He successfully managed it for at least a few hundred years, after which his trace had gone cold.

Happens to Tom Paris in "Vis à Vis". A criminal steals his body and dumps Tom in his own, leaving him to avoid pissed-off previous body-swapped personalities, plus somehow get back to Voyager and convince people that 'Tom Paris' isn't who they think he is.
In "Warlord", a former dictator jumps from body to body (usually volunteers from among his fanatical followers) in a quest for immortality but finds himself accidentally inside Kes. At first he finds Kes' mind powers and sexual attractiveness very useful; her stubborn determination to resist him not so much. Not to mention her species only lives nine years, but he gets his comeuppance long before them.

Fantastic Four: Doctor Doom has the Ovoid mind switch, an alien technique taught to him by the (guess) Ovoids, a species of aliens incapable of reproduction at one point so they had to clone their bodies and transfer their minds into it. Despite a later She-Hulk issue retconning it as being difficult if there's a soul/mind in the body the "caster" is trying to inhabit, Doom seems to be able to do this with relative ease, especially after the Unthinkable arc, where he's just a spirit, and he swaps and hops about the Fantastic Four until Reed shoots Doom-in-Thing, killing both and sending Victor von Doom... to hell.

The Agents in The Matrix do this to revive themselves when killed.
The first movie shows that, since every human still plugged into the Matrix is a potential Agent, the Resistance cannot afford to leave witnesses when they go about trying to free people. Any populated area in the city is extremely dangerous. In a matter of seconds, an agent can jump into anyone nearby and shoot you dead. This is displayed to dramatic effect in the finale when Neo runs through a market and an apartment complex. Agent Smith, Agent Brown and Agent Jones are constantly taking shots at Neo from behind or from the sides as they try to kill him.
In the second movie, this is taken to its logical conclusion with a highway chase scene during rush hour.
The third movie culminates with Smith, now unbound by the rules the Machines imposed upon him, copying himself into every human and program in the Matrix.
