Why, hello there! Shelvek the Seducer welcomes you to her den of decadence. What? Of course Shelvek the Seducer is a woman! Are these Femme Fatalons not proof enough? The male body I currently inhabit is but a meat-dress for my demonic essence. You see, my dear, Shelvek the Seducer has taken possession of this fragile and handsome body from its rightful owner. How did I do this? Oh, there are so many delectable ways! First, by taking over an Empty Shell or once a mortal's Deal with the Devil is up and his soul is yours. Once you become the "landlord", so to speak, the house is yours and you can kick out any tenants. Secondly, you can always forcibly take over anyone foolish enough not to realize Evil Is Not a Toy. The Religion of Evil and other foul Cults are usually nice enough to pick pretty sacrifices for us to inhabit, as well as those who work Black Magic. A plus in this method is that you get a wonderful, echoing Voice of the Legion. The strong willed may need to be worn down first though, otherwise they might try Fighting from the Inside. I prefer making them Hear Voices. The third way is popular among mummies and Sealed Evil in a Can; any Artifact of Doom that is a Soul Jar, when held, lets the sealed spirit take over the possessed. A fourth way is to let the victim think he is possessing you! First, you let them think that by summoning and then "binding" you *Ohohoho* they will get Powers via Possession, but they never Read the Fine Print in this Deal with the Devil. The more they use our powers, the more The Corruption takes root and lets us take over. Delectably ironic, isn't it? A Puppeteer Parasite can do this with science, but it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. The Virus, on the other hand, simply cores out the host's mind like an apple, effectively "killing" the original personality and soul of the host immediately. And the Living Doll Collector uses People Puppets, how ingenious! What amazes Shelvek the Seducer is that you humans do it to each other, sometimes even after you've died! Not that it isn't deliciously kinky. Also, though it shames Shelvek the Seducer to admit it, this trope is not solely restricted to demons. Angelic Possession works in precisely the same way, except that those feathery hypocrites don't know how to have fun with it. You may notice that I tend to appear slightly obscured behind the possessed in artful depictions. This pleasantly subtle fact emphasizes that Shelvek the Seducer is "in charge". Sadly, mirrors will reveal Shelvek's true nature, making social outings... problematic. Oh, don't worry. I assure you, Shelvek the Seducer is the only one here. If my ten brothers were with me, we would be Many Spirits Inside of One. But then it would be cramped in this body and I don't like lack of space. And don't think about trying to get chummy with me; some may like a Symbiotic Possession, where the host and the guest are on good terms with each other, but I'm not a very sociable person. That said, you can rest assured I take good care of my meat-dresses, no sense taking over a body only to burn it out like a lightbulb. The only thing I have to watch out for is that every now and then my brothers and I can get stuck in a body we're possessing, even when we no longer want to be in that host. And did I also forget to remind you that a Complete Monster is completely out of my league? Since they choose to be evil themselves, with or without being possessed? That's not to say there's anything stopping me from being one... Hmm, you aren't bad looking yourself. Would you mind terribly if I "change clothes"...? Don't worry, you won't remember a thing afterwards. More's the pity. |

Seen in The Secret Circle. Heather had been possessed by the demon Abaddon, which is why Cassie's mother put a binding spell on her. Heather eventually dies after being run over by a car and the demon then proceeds to possess Melissa at the end of episode 4, before eventually being killed while possessing Nick. | |

In Adventure Time, there is a random snail that appears Once per Episode as a Freeze-Frame Bonus. Unfortunately for him, one such appearance was in the lair of a demon, and he was not wearing any protective gear, causing him to get possessed by The Lich, and becoming an Unwitting Instigator of Doom. Thankfully, he gets better when The Lich chose to Body Surf to Billy instead. He had also possessed Princess Bubblegum. | |

Daylight Burning: The story is set off by the Nightmare possessing Celestia, and the remaining characters then having to deal with thing wearing Celestia's skin. The Nightmare can only possess willing targets, as it needs the "key of their heart", a set of abstract passes that can only be given freely by their owner. The Night Guard can feed vampirically on others to keep them drained of magical strength. However, overuse of this to keep the corrupted Celestia contained results in enough of the Nightmare's essence entering their leader for him to be taken over by a second instance of the Nightmare. In the ending, it is revealed that Discord has been possessing the body of Celestia's doctor for several years. |

In one Supernatural Law story, the trope is inverted when a summoning attempt by an incompetent warlock causes a virtuous soul named Barry on his way to Heaven to involuntarily possess a demon named Wasistlos. The warlock eventually separates them, and they both go to where they belong. However, the warlock screws this up as well — Barry gains Wasistlo's Third-Person Person speech patterns, while Wasistlos becomes kinder and gains Barry's love of music. | |

In Over the Garden Wall, this is revealed to be the reason behind Lorna's affliction. Her body is possessed by a flesh-eating spirit, which will devour anyone it encounters. This, in turn, is why Auntie Whispers keeps her constantly busy with chores and forbids visitors, to keep her from eating anyone. Luckily, she gets better once Wirt and Greg banish the spirit from her body. | |

In Nomine Satanis / Magna Veritas has the demons take possession of freshly deceased corpses. The angels use bodies of wiling believers who accept the possession to support the angels' side in "the big Game". Anyway, the entourage of the possessed will notice a sudden shift in the behavior of the aforementioned possessed, who is likely to leave for a group of fellow angels/demons. | |

Professor Quirrel might also count by the end of the first book, though it's an interesting case; the original owner of the body is in fact allowed to remain in control, likely mostly due to the possessor's weakened state, and in the climax is told to give control over to the possessor (and talks back). It is also apparently consensual, though possibly for definitions of the word which include death threats. | |

The most spectacular inversion of this trope has to come from Black Crusade, in which a Slaanesh worshiper summoned a Keeper of Secrets — a towering incarnation of depravity and debauchery — into her body as a way to achieve eternal youth at the behest of a sorcerer who thought it would kill her and give him a bound Greater Daemon servant. It didn't. Ax'Senaea proved such an egotistical psychopath that she managed to bind the daemon to her will and essentially ate it. The sorcerer, obviously in shock, didn't even attempt to defend himself as he was promptly mauled. Ax'Senaea succeeded at her first goal but failed at her second; instead she eventually "digested" the monster within her. So she summoned and reverse-possessed another greater daemon to continue extending her life. And then a third. On her fourth attempt, Slaanesh hirself appeared to elevate her to a Daemon Princess on the spot, in admiration of her willpower and dark perfection, as Ax'Senaea the Thrice Possessed. The three Keepers? She got to keep them, as punishment for being defeated by a Puny Earthling. | |

In the Mage Winds trilogy of the Heralds of Valdemar series, Big Bad Ma'ar is discovered to have been possessing the bodies of his descendants to prolong his own existence. This starts more like a case of serial Grand Theft Me, but as he suffers story-driven Villain Decay over the centuries, he eventually forgets to "finish off" the spirit of the final body he inhabits, bringing about his ultimate downfall. | |

In We Are Our Avatars, Pride was indirectly possessed by HIM, who made himself a vessel in the form of a black cat named King in order to get close to Pride. HIM then used him to create a philosopher's stone so that he'd have enough negative emotional energy to give him the power to take over the world. | |

The Way Series has something somewhere between Demonic Possession and Puppeteer Parasite. The Jarts are a species (really a conglomeration of assimilated species and whatever you'd call "original" Jarts) that exist primarily as virtual personality fragments as a sort of hive mind, where bits can be combined, split off and downloaded into an artificial body to perform any given task. The book's protagonist, Olmy, discovers an "individual" Jart who had been captured by humanity centuries earlier and downloads it into his mental implants to study. The Jart, because of the "species'" inherent flexibility to modify itself to fit into any environment capable of holding a conscious entity is easily able to reverse engineer the implants interface and downloads itself directly into Olmy's mind, reversing their roles. (He gets better.) | |

Happens with relative frequency in Digimon Ghost Game. Digimon in general act as digital youkai, possessing technology and causing paranormal events that the heroes have to deal with. Monster of the Week Musyamon entered the real world in the form of a Hungry Weapon, possessing other Digimon through the sword and forcing them to absorb Life Energy so it could regenerate its body. Doumonnote Taomon's Evil Counterpart ended up being possessed by the entire Kamakura Shogunate, and kidnapped The Leader Hiro and multiple other people to serve as hosts for H�j� Takatoki himself and his soldiers respectively to Take Over the World. Turns out that Gammamon doesn't actually Dark Evolve into GulusGammamon. GulusGammamon is the original Gammamon and a distinct entity that takes over Gammamon's body. |

Kamen Rider Wizard features a variant of this trope. In this series, magic is generated by Phantoms, which are beings living in the mind of the wizard. People with latent magical abilities are known as Gates and have a Phantom lying dormant in their minds. Should a Gate give in to great despair, the Phantom awakens and is able to permanently take over Gate in question, allowing it to manifest in the physical world. | |

This is how The Girl from the Miracles District describes being a berserk: your body harbours your own soul and the berserk spirit, which takes over when you Hulk Out. If you leave it in charge too often, it can eventually kill the human personality and take over completely. Kosma implies that this is what happened to his and Nikita's father. | |

The results depend on the reader's own decision, and can go from simply let the kami explain his Ghostly Goals and reach a peaceful agreement to have the kami perform a Grand Theft Me and use the main's body to murder poor Danai. | |

The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror: At the end of "B.I.: Bartifical Intelligence", Homer wakes up to find that he hasn't been made into a pathetic cyborg — he's just been possessed by the devil. A brief splash of holy water results in him babbling angrily, climbing up the walls, and turning his head 180 degrees, but it's okay because he gets to be excused from work. "The Exor-Sis" is a straighter parody, with Maggie being possessed by a statue of Pazuzu that Homer ordered from Amazon (he thought was pizza). When Pazuzu is expelled from Maggie, he latches onto Bart and finds himself trapped, as Bart is eviler than he is. |

This happens to Konekomaru in a filler episode of Blue Exorcist. The demon, lured by Konekomaru's fear of Rin, uses this fear to temporarily take control of Konekomaru's body. When the opportunity comes along, it fully possesses him, absorbing him and making him a part of its' body. Rin snaps him out of it though. It happened to Posthumous Character Father Fujimoto as well. He got possessed by the big man (er, demon) himself. And then his adoptive son Yukio got possessed by Satan as well. Must run in the family. Any demon in the series has to do this to manifest in Assiah. |

Eberron: This setting provides rules for creating demons (and devils) that possess people. The Quori, creatures from the plane of dream, use this as their main MO. They are unable to planeshift to the material plane, so can only rely on possession of people as they sleep. Ironically, the Church of the Silver Flame has developed many tools and powers to deal with demonic possession (as they focus on hunting down demons). Those very same powers can also be used to end Quori possession just as effectively. It's a shame that most of the people working of the Silver Flame are unaware of the Quori and the Dreaming Dark's plans for Eberron. Also, Celestials can inhabit Willing Channelers. | |

Wonder Woman: When Steve Trevor first "dies" in Wonder Woman (1942), Eros possesses his body and tries having a romance with Wonder Woman while wearing Steve. Despite Steve's "death", elements of him remain (including some memories and personality traits), but they're overridden and used by Eros, who considers himself to be helping Diana rather than horrifically taking advantage of the situation Wonder Woman (1942): Mars' minions — the Duke of Deception, the Earl of Greed, and the Count of Conquest — can possess humans. Wonder Woman (1987): Deimos, Phobos, and Eris make their return to the mortal plane by possessing the Joker, the Scarecrow and Poison Ivy after they realize that they can use the same loophole in their agreement not to mess with the mortal plane as their father did when her fathered their youngest sister Lyta while possessing a mortal man. Wonder Woman: Odyssey: The Big Bad Nemesis uses the unwilling body of an alternate version of Diana. Wonder Woman: Warbringer: Deimos, Phobos, and Eris make trouble for the protagonists by possessing humans, with Phobos and Eris finding favored hosts who are protagonists. |

Cathy is very displeased when Ami first uses it on her in an emergency situation.

Harry Potter has the Big Bad Lord Voldemort do this on a few occasions. Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, who became possessed through Voldemort's boyhood diary. Professor Quirrel might also count by the end of the first book, though it's an interesting case; the original owner of the body is in fact allowed to remain in control, likely mostly due to the possessor's weakened state, and in the climax is told to give control over to the possessor (and talks back). It is also apparently consensual, though possibly for definitions of the word which include death threats. Harry is possessed by Voldemort in the climax of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix after spending most of the book worrying about the possibility of it happening. |

Cold Days reveals that there's also Nemesis, an entity affiliated with the Outsiders that can infect people's minds like a virus. In most cases, Nemesis does not seem to directly control its victims, and only warps their personalities so that they will further its agenda. Some of its victims do not even seem to be aware of it, although others clearly are, and in some cases Nemesis can assume direct control. To be free of this entity, it takes the help of a greater power to bind the victim and expell the thing, such as one on tier with Winter Queen Mab, Summer Queen Titania, or their Mothers. | |

The Dresden Files: The whole Order of the Blackened Denarius are examples of this; the denarii are the Thirty Pieces of Silver paid to Judas for betraying Christ. Each silver coin is an Artifact of Doom that acts as a Soul Jar for a Fallen Angel. When the host is first possessed (by simply touching the coin with bare skin) only a "shadow" of the original Fallen Angel exists within the host. This shadow can exert some control over the host by altering the mind, making them see illusions or not notice pain or cold. This is as far as the shadow can go. The only blessing is that they don't go so far as to kill the host because they need the host to take up the coin. To go for full possession, the host must willingly take up the coin and angel. This is because the host, as a human, has free will and, no matter what the shadow does, it cannot stop that. White Night in particular examines the issue, as the host is unusually resistant, which has given the host and the shadow of the Fallen more time to become acquainted than is usual. Because the mortal chooses, even if that choice is under duress but not a lie by the Fallen, then no amount of Holy power can remove the Fallen from the host human. This is because God refuses to supercede the free will of mortals. Even when the Fallen might lie, the lie would only be countered with a statement of Truth with the exact same word count. The only means of truly freeing oneself from the Fallen is to feel genuine guilt over their actions and let go of the coin. The only ways to free oneself from the Shadow of the Fallen are either cutting oneself off from magic, which results in a form of starvation for the Shadow but has the consequence of a wizard losing their powers permenantly, or if the Shadow willingly sacrifices its life to save the host from a mental attack. Cold Days reveals that there's also Nemesis, an entity affiliated with the Outsiders that can infect people's minds like a virus. In most cases, Nemesis does not seem to directly control its victims, and only warps their personalities so that they will further its agenda.

Purrfect Apawcalypse: The first game has a heroic example of this trope in its best ending: Angel, who was murdered by the Ax-Crazy Patches and is a ghost, prevents Patches from taking Olive's life too by forcibly possessing his body. Later games show that this possession is a long-term one as it forced Patches' spirit out of his body, letting Angel take full control of it. The second game has a more traditional villainous example: Ginger spends months wearing down Sparky's mental resistance and possessing him in his sleep until he's vulnerable enough to be fully possessed by her as part of Patches' plan to get revenge on the heroes. |

This happens a lot on Supernatural: It's actually the only way demons operate in the world, their default form being thick black smoke. It's even lampshaded in "Jus in Bello" (S03, E12). There's the young girls whom Lilith likes to possess and terrorize and kill their families, as well as her dental hygienist; Meg Masters, who has to spend over a year watching a demon use her body to kill people; "Born Under A Bad Sign" (S02, E14), where the same demon who possessed Meg Masters earlier possesses Sam and proceeds to shoot and torture Dean and attack Jo; Ruby's unnamed hosts (the blonde, the secretary, Coma Girl); Abaddon's meat suit, Josie Sands; Crowley's literary agent from New York; the crossroads demons' hosts; whoever the Yellow-Eyed Demon happens to be possessing (Father Lehne, Samuel Campbell, John Winchester, the hospital janitor); Alastair's pediatrician; and, of course, all the random meatsuits the demonic mooks take over the course of the series. The series then inverts this with angelic possession: since interacting with an angel's true form can burn out a person's eyes and deafen them, if not kill them outright, angels, just like demons, require the use of preexisting physical bodies when it comes to interacting with humans. Certain angels also stick to specific bloodlines, as those bodies hold them better (or are the only ones who can, especially in the case of archangels). The upside is that angelic possession requires verbal agreement by the host, before and during the possession, while demonic possession does not. Unfortunately, "that's a real nice body you've got there. It'd be such a shame if somebody were to give it terminal cancer" is an acceptable tactic for obtaining that agreement. The Leviathans can also do this. Their first on-screen victim is Castiel's vessel Jimmy. They violently oust control from Castiel inside Jimmy and it's heavily implied that Castiel was killed in the process (though he later returned). Their host isn't strong enough to hold all of them at once, so they are forced to leave him and find other humans to possess. There's also ghost possession. But that's very rare, as it takes a particularly angry vengeful spirit to pull this trick off. A couple of different instances involve possession via multiple, antagonistic entities who then fight each other in the possessee's body. In Season 9, Crowley enters a Gadreel-possessed Sam to inform Sam of the possession and encourage him to kick Gadreel out. The more powerful Gadreel easily beats up Crowley, but Sam's willpower and ownership of his own body gives him the ability to expel the angel. In Season 11, Crowley does the same thing again, this time entering Castiel to try to encourage him to expel Lucifer. Unfortunately, Castiel is depressed and disinterested in fighting, and since Lucifer vs. Crowley is a Curb-Stomp Battle, the demon is forced to flee without accomplishing much. So in one case the vessel is housing a human soul, an angel, and a demon, and in the second case, the vessel is housing a demon and two angels, one of whom is Lucifer. Fortunately for everyone involved, both vessels are extremely strong and capable of handling the stress. |

PandoraHearts plays with this trope and then ultimately inverts it, when Oz, the protagonist, is revealed to actually be a Chain possessing a human body. Oz wasn't aware of this either, and had thought his bizarre set of abnormally destructive powers came from Alice through the terms of their Contract, since she was believed to be the true Chain up until that point. But despite Oz being a being of destruction born to end the world, it's Jack, the man he's technically possessing, who is the malicious one of the duo and who gains the ability to usurp the other from control. | |

In The Dead Center, John Doe is suffering from this while stuck in an emergency psych ward, and his psychiatrist initially thinks it's a combination of catatonia and dissociative amnesia. John Doe's real name is Michael Clark. He was supposed to die alongside his wife in a house fire, but a demon entered his body and brought him back to life. Once he found out what was happening, he tried committing suicide via blood loss. The demon brought him back again, and now intends to consume as many souls as it possibly can. | |

Played for laughs early in Hayate the Combat Butler with Katsura Yukiji when a demon tricks her using money. Not played for laughs later at all with Athena Tellos and the Honored Spirit that possesses her when she's very upset. The first time she almost killed Hayate, Sakuya and Isumi. A curbstomp battle, in fact. Curbstomp? Considering she needed to call on Machina's alternate form to disturb Isumi's final spell and it looked like Isumi only retreated to call for reinforcements and to get the muggles out of the way.. When Athena first threw Hayate out of her castle, it seems to have been mostly her; the Spirit didn't take dominance till later. Alternately, we could have never seen Athena un-possessed, it's just only become visible during these times. |

The Twilight Zone (1985): Both stories in the tenth episode of season two involve this trope. In "Time and Teresa Golowitz", the Prince of Darkness possesses Laura Schuppe so that he can talk to Bluestone at Mary Ellen Cosgrove's party in October 1948. He later takes possession of Nelson Baxley. In "Voices in the Earth", the ghosts of the dead Earth possess Professor Donald Knowles and make him attack his ship's sensor web. Their hope is that he will be sent back to Central and that they will be able to accompany him. They are unable to travel through warp space themselves without being destroyed or driven insane. |

Attachment: Leah's uncle Lev relates to Maja how dybbuks, tormented souls, will sometimes possess living people. The only way to exorcise them is learning about what the dybbuk wants. It turns out Leah has been possessed by one, which causes her to do strange things, and even kill a girl once years ago. Leah's mom and uncle had found a way to temporarily keep the dybbuk at bay. Later it came back though. The film's finale has them perform an exorcism to free her. It's successful, but Leah's mom Chana must sacrifice her life for Leah. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons: Devils can get a power boost by forcing their masks upon the body of a powerful Human or Servant and possessing them instead of growing a body of their own. The 'daughters' of devil crime lord Praman Nand do this to human slaves with their faces missing, letting them obtain speech and human-like intelligence despite being Pale Devils. Nand himself uses a sphinx-like Servant for a host, making him powerful even for a Gold Devil. Such 'devil-skinned' can also lead to the body proving too willful and burning both parts out or an outright Fusion Dance if both parts enter into it as equals and are able to synchronize wills. Allison and Cio are able to do so in King of Swords, due to being partners, with the possession being entirely symbiotic. Allison is made an Emissary of Incubus in Seeker of Thrones, accepting one of the Demiurge's keys in order to master her own power. When she later loses control of her body and gets trapped inside her own mind she logically assumes this is the case, though Incubus immediately shows up to reveal she's actually just grown a Superpowered Evil Side from her own power and he had (almost) nothing to do with it. |

He eventually accomplishes this by painfully transforming Jesse's body into his own. Freddy does in again in Freddy vs. Jason with Bill Freeburg, though somehow he doesn't die when Jason kills his host, as would be expected in this scenario. |

In The Order of the Stick, it is revealed that at least one vampire is a demonic spirit possessing the dead body, while holding the helpless soul captive inside, able to watch as the vampire tricks his friends into believing him to be the original. Word of God is that this is how all vampires work in this world, and the reason nobody warns the heroes is because it's fairly obscure knowledge. | |

Hurog: In Dragon Bones, the heroes spend the night on a hill, in the ruins of an ancient temple. In the night, Ward wakes up and sees that his (mute!) younger sister Ciarra is missing. When he finds her, she ... talks. In a male voice. To her feet lies Oreg, whom Ward had ordered to protect Ciarra. They all survive, and it is more of a case of possession by a god, but it's a kind of jerkass god. Ward stays angry at him for the rest of the novel, and chooses to not pray to him when an incident makes it necessary to pray to someone. | |

Played with in Seventh Son (2015). A suspected case of this turns out to actually be a powerful witch possessing a little girl in order to draw out her old adversary. She drops the facade quickly. | |

In Black Legion, when Falkion's ship's Gellar Field goes down in the middle of a Warp storm, him and his people are possessed by daemons and spend big part of the book trying to take them under control. In the end they succeed, getting a rudimentary Hive Mind as a bonus. | |

Marvel Universe: Ghost Rider: Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch have this situation. Johnny's possessor is a demonic entity known as Zarathos whose power he uses to battle evil and who occasionally takes him over. In later comics, it's closer to Symbiotic Possession, with Zarathos only taking over when Johnny lets him or is knocked out in a fight. Danny's possessor is a demon named Kale, who isn't as much of a bastard as Zarathos. Also, Riders are eventually revealed to be examples of Angelic Possession. A Bad Future seen in Immortal Hulk features the Breaker-Apart, the result of the Hulk being possessed by The-One-Below-All. Having had any trace of humanity consumed by The-One-Below-All, this Hulk is a Cosmic Entity driven by The-One-Below-All's rage and hatred over its imprisonment. And since the Hulk gets bigger and stronger the angrier he gets, this makes the Breaker-Apart big and strong enough to smash entire planets and stars with a single punch. New Fantastic Four: The demon lord Asmodeus has his servants possess innocent mortals in Las Vegas. However, his demons find sharing a body with a living human's soul very uncomfortable, and take too long to adjust - so Asmodeus decides to call up damned human souls from Hell to replace them. The damned are much more effective as possessors. Sleepwalker: Cobweb had his minions possess innocent humans at different points in the series to do his evil bidding. Sleepwalker was able to exorcise them by zapping them with his warp vision, which broke the demons' possession and sent them back to their home dimensions. Spider-Man: On one occasion, Mary Jane Watson is possessed by Red Sonja and battles Kulan Gath, but she has no memory of those events. In World War Hulk, Doctor Strange allows a tiny fragment of the demonic entity Zom to possess him. He quickly discovers that this was probably not the wisest choice. |

2000 AD: Caballistics, Inc.: Jenny is possessed by a demon early on, who manages to keep this a secret for an extended length of time. Eventually the rest of the team catches on when Jenny keeps somehow destroying equally dangerous supernatural entities all by her lonesome when they're not looking. However, the possibility of an exorcism is rendered moot by the demon threatening to kill Jenny if they so much as try it. Judge Dredd: When the Dark Judges are in their ghost forms they can control human vessels, especially those with psychic abilities. (Possessing Cassie Anderson was how Death got back after the first time he died.) To manifest in their true forms, however, they require specially prepared corpses. There are also "regular" demonic possessions in Mega-City One, although they're pretty rare — no more than 20 cases or so a year (in a population of 400 million). There's a department of Psi-Division specifically devoted to demonology because of this. |

The Owl House: In the episode "Thanks to Them", Belos's cursed slime manages to get inside Hunter's body through a cut in his finger, and slowly starts to grow inside him, causing paranoia, hallucinations and extreme mood swings. Once Hunter and Luz have found the location of the Titan's Blood, Belos fully takes over Hunter's body, turning his arms and parts of his face into cursed mud and sprouting a pair of horns. Belos himself sees this as him finally reuniting with his brother, and decides to use "Caleb"'s body to finish what they started as witch hunters by trying to kill the Hexsquad. Hunter himself is fully conscious the whole time, but doesn't manage to wrench control back until Belos mortally wounds Flapjack. In the following episode, Belos moves on to Raine, possessing their puppet form initially and then their regular form after. Raine manages to force him out, but can't stop him from moving to his final target — the Titan. |

One Super Robot Wars manga takes this idea and runs with it by having Tifa get possessed by a metric ton of random characters, including Baron Ashura and Timp, with the threat hanging over their heads that if they don't clear it up soon, Tifa's original personality will be destroyed. Thankfully Lucille returns and plays Cool Big Sis before offering to take all the roaming spirits with her when she leaves. Of course, the comic ends with Tifa still getting possessed, but it's all about Rule of Funny anyhow. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Eberron: This setting provides rules for creating demons (and devils) that possess people. The Quori, creatures from the plane of dream, use this as their main MO. They are unable to planeshift to the material plane, so can only rely on possession of people as they sleep. Ironically, the Church of the Silver Flame has developed many tools and powers to deal with demonic possession (as they focus on hunting down demons). Those very same powers can also be used to end Quori possession just as effectively. It's a shame that most of the people working of the Silver Flame are unaware of the Quori and the Dreaming Dark's plans for Eberron. Also, Celestials can inhabit Willing Channelers. Ghosts in some editions could do this, and it's the signature trick of the odem, a type of disembodied evil spirit from the Ravenloft setting. The magic jar spell, which has been part of the game since the first edition and allows even humans to play the part of the possessor. Some demons in 3.5e can possess any creature or object and take on a multitude of different roles; six roles for creatures (Ally, Controller, Enemy, Mutterer, Rider, and Transformer), and three for objects (Controller, Corrupter, and Enhancer): Controller: The most common, wherein the demon tries to control the possessed victim or causes the possessed object to move and/or animate. Ally: The fiend grants its host a boost to one stat of the fiend's choice. Usually, this requires a Deal with the Devil, and the demon can withhold the boost if necessary. Enemy: The fiend imposes a penalty to its victim. Usually, they do this if the victim resists control attempts. Rider: Exactly What It Says on the Tin. The fiend rides inside the victim and has an easier time hiding out and infiltrating. Mutterer: The fiend whispers to its host or imposes its emotional state onto its victim. Usually, they're trying to drive the victim insane. Transformer: The demon slowly transforms its victim. If it finishes the process, the victim is trapped inside the demon with no way to do anything. Enhancer: Gives the possessed item special abilities depending on how powerful the fiend is. Corrupter: The fiend imposes curses onto anyone who touches the item its possessing. |

Willow (2022): Ballantine is possessed by a Gale due to being touched by its staff, then spreads this to his men as well, turning evil while the Gale controls him. Graydon is also infected in episode 3 and gets fully possessed in episode 4. Also it is revealed in episode 4 that Graydon was apparently demonically possessed as a child which caused him to kill his older brother by shoving him out of a tree. |

In Ascendance of a Bookworm, Lutz basically accuses Myne of being a demon possessing his friend and is not, strictly speaking, actually wrong. To his surprise, she agrees to get out of the body, but suggests they go home first. After all, the original Myne was already dead when she got here, so "getting out" would leave Lutz with a corpse to explain, not the little girl who once was. He calms down when he realizes the Myne he knows is the same one he's always known and that she didn't even want to be here. | |

In the Season 1 episode "Project A, For Astral", he uses the Sheep Talisman to take over Jade's dormant body. Later for most of Season 2, he accidentally possesses Valmont (he intended to take over Jackie, which he later succeeds at). Also, in season 4, the Oni Masks will cause anyone wearing them to succumb to the influence of the Oni and Shadowkhan demons sealed inside the masks. |

Smallville: This is a very common power of many villains. In particular, possession by Bizarro or Brainiac looks mightily demonic. In "Spell", Isobel pulls this on Lana in the teaser after she touches Isobel's spellbook, and she later works a spell that causes her two cohorts Brianna and Madelyn to possess Lois and Chloe. She possesses Lana again in "Sacred". In "Tomb", Chloe finds the body of a girl in the Talon and becomes possessed by her ghost when she touches her kryptonite bracelet. Bizarro does it in "Phantom". Enfant Terrible alert. Gory Discretion Shot not provided. Brainiac does this to Chloe Sullivan in "Bride" and "Legion"; comes with Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress, ominous silver eyes and a Squicky, flirty and cruel attitude to horrifying effect. "Escape" has the Silver Banshee, who first takes control of an unnamed woman, then Chloe and, finally, Lois. In "Supergirl", Darkseid takes over Gordon Godfrey's body, and he tries doing this to Clark later. |

In the world of Shaman of the Undead, every attempt at summoning a demon ends with demon taking control of the body, usually with rather gory results, as demons are humanitarians. It's case no 2 and 4, as most black wizards believe that they can control the demon. Sometimes happens as a side effect, when you're unlucky enough to stand too close when barrier between the worlds is ripped open. | |

Possession is a common problem for Guts, the protagonist of Berserk, who in addition to fighting the demonic Apostles of the God Hand, must also deal with lesser demonic spirits drawn to his Brand of Sacrifice, which possess corpses, animals, susceptible people and even the very snow itself in one case to try to claim him. He also has to deal with a personal demon called the Beast of Darkness that wants to possess him and turn him into a monster himself. | |

In The Traitor Son Cycle, Harmodius possesses Red Knight's body after the former dies. While he's usually little more than a voice in his host's head, he sometimes takes over, whenever a difficult spell has to be cast, his host loses consciousness, or something catches the "demon's" (as one of the doctors calls him) fancy. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Played with in "The Assignment" when Miles O'Brien's wife is possessed by an alien energy being who orders O'Brien around in exchange for not killing her. She can blend in perfectly, but O'Brien's odd behavior makes people suspect he's some kind of doppelganger. (Something similar also happened to him on another occasion...) In "The Reckoning", one of the Prophets of Bajor and a Pah-wraith take possession of the bodies of Kira and Jake Sisko respectively in order to duke it out on the station. |

The Ghosts in Beetlejuice are capable of Possession. At least, they call it possession, but it seems to be different from ordinary demonic possession. Demons have to occupy the inside of the human host. Ghosts can control people from a distance, control more than one person at once, and even do it to each-other. (This happens three times; Betelgeuse himself does it to Barbara Maitland as a demonstration, both Maitlands do it to everyone at an entire dinner party, and at the end of the movie, as a reward, Adam Maitland allows/forces Lydia to float in the air and sing. (The Maitlands are obviously Harry Belafonte fans.) | |

This is how the demons from Devilman work. In the manga, it's very pronounced, since anyone can be possessed the instant they succumb to acting on instinct. Naturally, bars and nightclubs prove great places for demons to go to possess people since there are so few inhibitions in them. Only one who has a pure heart can harness the power of their possessor while still retaining their humanity, becoming a Devilman. | |

Power Girl: In Kara's 1986 Secret Origins Post-Crisis origin story, she was threatened with possession as an infant by the spirit of her granduncle Garn Daanuth, who attempted to reenter the realm of the living through her. Her grandfather Arion prevented this from happening by placing Kara in a magic crystal and sending her through time and space to the present-day world, selecting Superman as the one who she would be connected to upon her arrival. | |

Reynardine from Gunnerkrigg Court can possess anything with eyes, or a representation thereof. There's elements of Grand Theft Me to his possession: he can't exist outside a body for more than a few seconds, and he permanently dispossesses the host's soul. When he takes a new host, his old one dies. There's also the Glass-Eyed Men, who at one point possesses a robot. |

Power Star: Mario spends the vast majority of the series under the unwilling seduction of malevolent spirits, the latter using the former as a vessel to slaughter passersby and gain energy from the titular artifacts to enhance their army. This also happens to an entire crowd of toads who are slowly marching toward the Mushroom Kingdom during the final battle, having come to combine all of the Power Stars in the world into one super-powerful relic for Mario to absorb. | |

Paranatural: Weakened spirits can possess either an object (turning it into a Tool) or a person (turning them into a medium). Spectrals with a matching spectral energy color can then use that spirit's special powers, while the spirit leeches off some of the spectral's energy until they recover. In both cases, the spectral is usually the one in control, though there are ways for the spirit to take over temporarily. Normally, spectrals are either Tool-users or mediums (or neither); being both at the same time is rare and dangerous. Mr. Spender has a light spirit in his sunglasses that helps him contain the darkness spirit in his body. Max is unknowingly the medium for a piece of a very dangerous shattered god, in addition to having an animalistic grudge in his bat. Hijack, the primary antagonist of Chapter 5, is a spirit who specializes in possession. He spends much of the chapter in direct control of a normally-innocuous student named Jeff. |

In Chainsaw Man, Devils can take over a variety of things, including people and objects. Fiends are devils that have taken over a human corpse, making the body their own in the process and sometimes retaining some of the memories of the human. There are also devil-human hybrids like Denji, the titular Chainsaw Man, who are the result of Symbiotic Possession. The second Horseman, the War Devil, possessed a young girl by the name of Asa Mitaka and turned her into a Fiend while still partially preserving her consciousness and keeping her in line with threats of a Grand Theft Me. | |

Kamen Rider: This is one of the abilities from the Imagin in Kamen Rider Den-O. The Hero even has four of them as allies, who regularly take possession of his body at inopportune moments. Despite drastically altering his appearance with things like colored hair, changing his voice and, above all, behavior, other characters don't really seem to notice something is off. Kamen Rider Wizard features a variant of this trope. In this series, magic is generated by Phantoms, which are beings living in the mind of the wizard. People with latent magical abilities are known as Gates and have a Phantom lying dormant in their minds. Should a Gate give in to great despair, the Phantom awakens and is able to permanently take over Gate in question, allowing it to manifest in the physical world. It's revealed that in Kamen Rider Build, Souichi was possessed by Evolt, the destroyer of Mars, when the Mars mission unearthed Pandora's box and accidentally set the evil spirit loose. |

In Transformers: Prime, Megatron exposes himself to Dark Energon, the blood of Unicron, which allows Unicron to possess him in the first season finale. It's a testament to the strength of this Megatron's will, though, that Unicron had to knock him out before he could take total control. It happens again during the Grand Finale movie, only this time much easier since Megatron is currently dead courtesy of a Star-Saber-made hole through his chest and he's unable to do much more than be a prisoner in his own body. | |

They are certainly considered demonic by elves and others in the Church of Chaos but Order's Orthodoxy considers them angels. This is how King Ataidar, Kasile's father, meets his end.

Ultimately, the only way to get rid of Herobrine was to throw the Minecraft block into the recycle bin, causing a World-Wrecking Wave that destroyed everything from Minecraft. Averted when, in the first AMV short, Red fakes it for his own amusement. No one thinks it's funny, and Blue in particular reacts by taking off his helmet and smacking Red. |

The enemy in GARO is a race of demonic beings known as Horrors, who use this trope as their way to fully manifest into this world. In this case, the victim of the possession must be overtaken by negative emotions, such as sadness, anger or greed in order to make a perfect host for the Horror. Unfortunately, there is no way to exorcise the Horror, meaning the victim must be killed to end their suffering. | |

Godforsaken: Some creatures, such as demons, ghosts, entities of living mental energy, and so on, can possess a living person, taking over a character's body as if it were the creature's own. While possessing a character, the creature is immune to most direct attacks (although not so the host; killing the host will eject the creature). The text notes that, since possession takes away a player's ability to control their character, this can make some players very uncomfortable. | |

Shinou, the original king of the demons in Kyo Kara Maoh! has done this a couple of times to Wolfram (who, interstingly enough, is also a demon and may or may not be Shinou's Identical Grandson). The first time this happened because Shinou himself was possessed by some Sealed Evil in a Can. The second was more for his own amusement than anything else (see also: Kissing Under the Influence). | |

In the Ben 10 episode "Ghostfreaked Out", the titular ghost-themed Alien, which turns out to actually have the identity of the source of the DNA sample used to create it due to his species' Bizarre Alien Biology, escapes from Ben’s Transformation Trinket. Prevented from taking Ben since he can only be possessed while in human form, Ghostfreak jumps between others' bodies in the meantime, with the most notable incident being his possessing Gwen and demanding that Ben give himself up or he’ll force Gwen to kill herself jumping from a roof. | |

The Vampire Chronicles: A variation in Queen of the Damned, which reveals that this as the origin of vampires. Most spirits are benign or friendly. However, Amel was vicious and loved to prick people, having a thing for blood. After the king and queen of Ancient Egypt were betrayed and fatally stabbed by their nobles, Amel used this opportunity to enter Queen Akasha through her wounds and transformed her body into the first vampire. She proceeded to turn King Enkil by sharing a portion of Amel with him. Their hunger for blood was great, and even candlelight caused them great discomfort. Eventually, they learned that passing on the Dark Gift to others would lessen their hunger and vulnerability by spreading Amel around. Thus vampires were born. Each vampire has a piece of Amel in him or her; however, Akasha is the one with the spirit's "core". Should she die, all vampires would die with her (unless someone eats her heart and brain to take the "core"). | |

The Devil Within Her: When a woman refuses the advances of a Depraved Dwarf, he curses her: "You will have a baby, a monster, an evil monster conceived in your womb! As big as I am small, and possessed by the Devil himself!" Several years later, she gives birth to an abnormally large and strong son who, sure enough, is possessed by a demon, leading to a long string of horrific events. At the end, the woman's nun sister-in-law manages to exorcise the demon, and the supernatural blowback kills the dwarf. | |

As a result, Nadalia goes Mama Bear, buries Taylor's mind in the Dark, and puts Raime in the driver seat. The demented knight recreates his armor and weapons on top of Taylor's body and massacres everyone at the site. This has two consequences: first, Raime is labeled as a new parahuman, codenamed Surtr, and second, the PRT, well aware of who it is under the armor, spins a story about Taylor falling under the control of a Master. | |

The DCU: In Batman: Damned, Deadman possesses multiple people and even a few animals in order to properly communicate with Batman. Because of the physical strain it causes them, they are brief and frequent. It is implied that the Enchantress rid Bruce of his fear in exchange for possession of his body. The Day the Cheering Stopped: King Kosmos, turned into an energy being, takes over an industrialist named Oswald Mandias and uses the latter's money and influence to turn the people of Earth against Superman. Deadman: The Hindu goddess Rama Kushna grants Boston Brand the ability to possess any mortal being, completely controlling their actions and being in possession of their memories and powers, while they retain no recollection of the happening. Final Crisis: This trope nearly leads to the extinction of The Multiverse when it turns out that the Alpha Lanterns (cyborg Lanterns intended to be the Green Lantern Corps' Internal Affairs) are vulnerable to this, placing Granny Goodness in a key position to frame Hal Jordan and capture Batman. Green Lantern: The Emotional Entities, which represent emotions, are capable of possessing people and granting them great power over the light their emotion is associated with. There is also a degree of Symbiotic Possession as well — while the entities have pretty much complete control, they also appear to take on at least some of the personality traits and goals of those they possess. The Movement: It's ambiguous whether Burden is genuinely possessed or simply has metahuman powers. Burden believes former, but the rest of the team believes the latter. Power Girl: In Kara's 1986 Secret Origins Post-Crisis origin story, she was threatened with possession as an infant by the spirit of her granduncle Garn Daanuth, who attempted to reenter the realm of the living through her. Her grandfather Arion prevented this from happening by placing Kara in a magic crystal and sending her through time and space to the present-day world, selecting Superman as the one who she would be connected to upon her arrival. Robin (1993): Stanley Baumgarten believes that he just has a sleep disorder. Instead, the mystical entity known as the Dark Rider has been possessing him at night, making money as a magic-using assassin in Stan's body. Shazam!: The Seven Deadly Sins, seven demons who represent the Sins, do this every time they escape their prison in the Rock of Eternity. Their possessed victims are compelled to indulge in whichever sin the demon represents. Simon Dark: By the time that Simon confronts the Geo Populous cult, every single member has been possessed and replaced by a demonic entity. This results in Simon having zero qualms about brutally tearing through them. The Spectre: Eclipso is the former Spirit of Vengeance, having been replaced by the Spectre. Anyone who is unlucky enough to come into contact with Eclipso's black crystal prison will be possessed by it. Stanley and His Monster: In the Darker and Edgier appearance in Green Arrow, the Big Bad wants to invert this trope by possessing Stanley's Monster Spot, who turns out to be a powerful but kindhearted demon. Supergirl: In Demon Spawn, sword-wielding sorceress Nightflame steals Supergirl's soul in order to drain her life-force and take over her body. In Supergirl (1972), Medusa's disembodied ghost tries to take over Supergirl's body. The Kryptonian girl manages to defeat the spirit, but with the help of another ghost. Death & the Family: When Supergirl touches the McDougal Clan's heirlooms, her body is taken over and transformed by the deceased spirits of Silver Banshee's clan. Wonder Woman: When Steve Trevor first "dies" in Wonder Woman (1942), Eros possesses his body and tries having a romance with Wonder Woman while wearing Steve. Despite Steve's "death", elements of him remain (including some memories and personality traits), but they're overridden and used by Eros, who considers himself to be helping Diana rather than horrifically taking advantage of the situation Wonder Woman (1942): Mars' minions — the Duke of Deception, the Earl of Greed, and the Count of Conquest — can possess humans. Wonder Woman (1987): Deimos, Phobos, and Eris make their return to the mortal plane by possessing the Joker, the Scarecrow and Poison Ivy after they realize that they can use the same loophole in their agreement not to mess with the mortal plane as their father did when her fathered their youngest sister Lyta while possessing a mortal man. Wonder Woman: Odyssey: The Big Bad Nemesis uses the unwilling body of an alternate version of Diana. Wonder Woman: Warbringer: Deimos, Phobos, and Eris make trouble for the protagonists by possessing humans, with Phobos and Eris finding favored hosts who are protagonists. |

Frequently occurs in The Bible: It's lumped together with all the other diseases and mental disorders Jesus cures. One notable example: the truly unfortunate man possessed by one thousand demons that called themselves "Legion". Jesus, being Jesus, cured the man but spared the demons by casting them into a herd of pigs instead of outright destroying them. However, the pigs then ran off a cliff into the sea and drowned. Jesus also said that anyone with sufficient faith in Him could cast out demons in the same manner (and indeed, the Apostles are shown doing so on their own in later books), but He did caution against attempting this unless you were really devout: a rabbi's sons ignored this warning, tried to cast out a demon, and got a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown for their trouble. |

In Lucifer (2016), demons have the ability to possess the bodies of recently deceased humans, provided the soul was already destined for damnation. Heaven objected to the practice, so Lucifer banned it a few centuries ago. Lucifer himself isn’t particularly fond of it either, and tends to deal with demons who ignore the ban rather brutally. | |

The Madness Dossier: The êkimmu is a Mesopotamian Monstrosity with no physical form of its own that seems to be a sort of independent meme or mental subroutine. It takes over human victims in a way virtually indistinguishable from classic demonic possession. A few heroic but often unstable Project SANDMAN agents, known as chevals, have been subjected to radical brain-hacking processes related to Voudoun ideas of spiritual possession. They can trigger secondary personalities with advanced skills and even borderline-superhuman abilities. The result looks much like possession, though the Project would insist that it's no such thing. |

In Aurora, Erin accidentally gets possessed by an evil dragon in the process of deactivating a storm of magical energy, becoming a recurring part of his arc that occasionally takes over his body. It gives him dark void powers that only two characters can reliably survive, and his eyes change too. Erin is usually able to fight off the dragon by Fighting from the Inside for long enough, though. | |

Prodigal Son: In "Speak of the Devil", two different people are convinced they're possessed by a demon. In one case, his psychosis is kept relatively under control by rituals that convince him it's restrained. The other though was a killer, driven to commit ritual murder after lead poisoning caused him to develop delusions. He too though is later stopped by Malcolm performing an exorcism with a friar's instruction since it's something that the killer (a Catholic too) believes works. It's also mentioned that the modern Catholic Church only quite rarely performs an exorcism, since so many cases are like this, the result of delusions. | |

New Life SMP: The Sculk origin, held by Sparrow in his third life equivalent, has this as one of their abilities, being able to tap into another entity's brain to see the world from their perspective. As Sparrow experiments, the possession occurs when another entity breathes in the person's Sculk particles, and ends when the entity either sneezes out the particles or is immersed in water. Alternatively, those who hold the origin can disconnect the entity's synapses as the entity loses health and dies. | |

A more benevolent version happens in Gundam X, where Jamil's former commander Lucille, now in a stasis pod, uses her Psychic Powers to temporarily take control of Jamil's adopted daughter Tifa's body to provide him with critical information and closure before she can finally die. After her job is done, she willingly leaves with no harm done to Tifa (who even says Lucille's presence was kind and gentle), and manages to pass away in peace. One Super Robot Wars manga takes this idea and runs with it by having Tifa get possessed by a metric ton of random characters, including Baron Ashura and Timp, with the threat hanging over their heads that if they don't clear it up soon, Tifa's original personality will be destroyed. Thankfully Lucille returns and plays Cool Big Sis before offering to take all the roaming spirits with her when she leaves. Of course, the comic ends with Tifa still getting possessed, but it's all about Rule of Funny anyhow. |

Malazan Book of the Fallen: Cotillion, the Patron God of Assassins takes over Sorry's body in the beginning of Gardens of the Moon to spy on the Malazan Empire from within. Sorry, later named Apsalar, carries around the scars of having been possessed by Cotillion for most of the rest of the series, and the latter spends much of it trying to make it up to her. Felisin Paran is possessed by the Whirlwind Goddess at the end of Deadhouse Gates, which makes her the spiritual and de facto leader of the Whirlwind Rebellion but leads to her death at the hands of her own sister, who never even realised who she was fighting. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Kakyoin was capable of doing this to others with his Stand Hierophant Green, but never performed it again after his initial fight with Jotaro. Angelo in Diamond is Unbreakable had the ability to do this with his aqueous Stand Aqua Necklace by having it enter his victims' mouths and control them from inside. In the Spin-Off Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, Rohan tells a story about a man who was cursed after failing an Old Beggar Test, with the beggar's angry spirit possessing his daughter to exact its revenge. Also in Rohan, he encounters a youkai he names Mutsukabezaka that possesses an individual before killing them, and making whoever was close by at the time feel responsible to it could possess them too. The possessed survivor would then "reproduce" with the corpse, creating a new Mutsukabezaka that would "kill itself" in front of someone to possess them and continue the cycle. Again in Rohan, he meets Yoma Hashimoto, a young model and actor whose intense fitness regimen leads to him getting possessed by the Greek god Hermes and becoming a musclebound psychopath who murders anyone who he believes is in the way of his pursuit of greater strength. |

Chronicles of Darkness: Spirits (and presumably ghosts) have a much easier time possessing bodies whose souls have been removed from their still living bodies. In Hunter: The Vigil, the Conspiracy known as Les Mysteres invites this to happen, voluntarily offering their bodies to spirits in order to gain mystical powers from the spirits timesharing their bodies. Sin Eaters are often mistaken for people who are possessed by demons or ghosts. Which is accurate from a certain point of view. In Demon: The Descent, Demons don't do this. Instead, they use Pacts to steal fragments of people's lives to bolster their own disguise as being humans... Or, for a high level Pact, they can literally steal a person's life, removing the person from existence and taking their form, memories, everything as their own. The "Possession" Exploit, however, plays it straight (though a Demon can't keep it up for too long without shredding their actual Cover). |

A fair number of aliens and monsters in the Ultra Series can do this, but by far the most famous user of the ability is Ultraman Ace's Big Bad Yapool, a highly intelligent and thoroughly malevolent Energy Being from Another Dimension. He typically uses this ability to torment the Ultras' human hosts by possessing their friends and teammates, or using random civilians to cause chaos, but he's also capable of taking over the bodies of his Choju to assume full command over them. | |

In Stranger Things Season 2, Will Byers, a kid who was trapped in the Upside Down for several days, eventually finds himself getting attacked by one of its inhabitants, an evil entity called the "Mind Flayer". This thing, which looks like a giant mass of black smoke, forces itself into Will's body. Will is now able to sense the Mind Flayer as it tries breaking into the Earthly realm via a network of underground tunnels beneath Will's hometown. The Mind Flyer also forces Will into doing its bidding, such as luring a group of US Army soldiers into an ambush by monsters. When Will's family and friends finally realize what's wrong, they tie down Will to a bed and "exorcise" him by torturing him with extreme heat, which does expel the Mind Flyer after some considerable difficulty. | |

Demonic Possession is more or less what Take-Over magic amounts to in Fairy Tail, save it's inverted: It's the caster who's doing the possessing via assimilating the creature into their body and then changing their body into said form to fight. However, the caster is in complete control... unless the creature is too powerful or the caster is suffering from Unstoppable Rage, in which case they are a rampaging monster. Just ask Elfman when his first usage of Full Body Take-Over resulted in killing his little sister Lisanna except not quite, or when Mirajane, who was traumatized by this and lost access to her Magic, regained her own power when Freed almost killed Elfman and caused her to have flashbacks. She was half an inch from taking Freed's life via pulping his skull with her fist before she took back control. | |

Shadowrun Certain extraplanar spirits are unable to remain in Earth's astral space without weakening unless they can anchor themselves to a human host. Bug Spirits and Shedim, for example. Nomads as well: Astral beings that possess their hosts and make them murder other people. |

In the Sister 3 arc of El Goonish Shive, Ellen is possessed by the aberration Sirleck as part of a highly convoluted plot to give the wizard Magus a new physical form (which Sirleck, unbeknownst to anyone but himself, intends to promptly take possession of). Unfortunately for Sirleck, people created by magic have a built-in advantage at resisting possession, which leads fairly directly to his (Sirleck's) destruction. | |

In 40k, some radical Inquisitors create Daemonhosts, imprisoning a Warp entity within a ritually-prepared human vessel. Theoretically this gives the Inquisitor a great source of diabolic intelligence and an extremely potent battlefield asset; in practice it ensures that the Inquisitor will be tortured to death by his peers if he's ever caught, since the creation of such blasphemies is the work of the most vile of heretics. And, as of their latest codex, the Grey Knights. | |

Drowtales: There's basically two levels of demonic possession. First, there's tainting. This is generally done in a controlled manner, so that the demon will not progress to the next level. It leaves the host in full control, while making sure that she can't be possessed accidentally in a more dangerous manner. Very weak taints can sometimes be reversed. Tainting also is generally used to dull fear and pain. In the full form of possession, the demon has full control, and the host's body commonly deforms. Both forms leave the host with red eyes. By Book 2, it's revealed that nether demons are mostly former mortals who have become entrenched in the everlasting torture of eating each others' minds; demons constantly possess each other, which explains why they've gotten so good at it. |

Daemons in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 can possess humans whose wills prove pliant. Though this provides a boost in power, a physical vessel can only sustain a daemon for so long; the greater danger is when a daemon possesses an individual with magical or psyker powers, and uses them to start summoning friends. Both on and off the tabletop, the option of being willingly possessed by a daemon (for instance, the Gal Vorbak) is often seen as a flawed and inferior shortcut to power compared with becoming a Daemon Prince: while Daemon Princes are immortal and receive a massive power boost, the benefits of possession are fewer and far more double-edged. In return for a relatively modest increase in physical strength and endurance, being possessed transforms the person into a howling mutated berserker fit only for melee combat. Worse, in the extremely likely event of their death the vessel's soul is dragged into the Warp by the daemon to be their thrall for eternity. Bad deal, though it is marginally better than failing to become a Daemon Prince and instead becoming a Chaos Spawn. This is the main reason psykers and mutants are hunted down with such zeal by the Ecclesiarchy and Inquisition: left unchecked, they don't learn how to defend themselves against demonic possession (a trained psyker compares it to holding a door that's being battered down, 24/7, and the door is in your head) and are particularly open to having daemons erupt from their bodies and attack. It's occasionally overlooked, but in Warhammer games it's possible to invert this trope; some daemon-possessed beings actually form a symbiosis with their daemon, using Villainous Willpower to retain control over their body whilst still being able to access the power of the daemon. In 40k this is the idea behind the Possessed units of Chaos Space Marines, as well as the Exalted Daemon hero from Warhammer Fantasy. The most spectacular inversion of this trope has to come from Black Crusade, in which a Slaanesh worshiper summoned a Keeper of Secrets — a towering incarnation of depravity and debauchery — into her body as a way to achieve eternal youth at the behest of a sorcerer who thought it would kill her and give him a bound Greater Daemon servant. It didn't. Ax'Senaea proved such an egotistical psychopath that she managed to bind the daemon to her will and essentially ate it. The sorcerer, obviously in shock, didn't even attempt to defend himself as he was promptly mauled. Ax'Senaea succeeded at her first goal but failed at her second; instead she eventually "digested" the monster within her. So she summoned and reverse-possessed another greater daemon to continue extending her life. And then a third. On her fourth attempt, Slaanesh hirself appeared to elevate her to a Daemon Princess on the spot, in admiration of her willpower and dark perfection, as Ax'Senaea the Thrice Possessed. The three Keepers? She got to keep them, as punishment for being defeated by a Puny Earthling. When Daemons were still part of the Chaos Space Marine army (as opposed to a separate army on their own) Daemons could not enter the mortal realm alone. This meant that, in-game, greater daemons and daemon packs couldn't be deployed normally with the rest of the army and had to be "summoned" to the battlefield. Daemon Packs were straight forward; just deepstrike them in and kick face. Greater Daemons were harder, as you NEED to have purchased a champion beforehand to have them possess it. This, of course, kills the champion. This could also be your Chaos Lord or his lieutenant, although most people just opted to sacrifice a nameless Aspiring Champion instead. If the sacrifice was killed before the daemon could manifest, then the Daemon could still possess his flesh, but the necrotic corpse cannot sustain the daemon for long (which is represented by the daemon having to take instability tests every turn and losing health every time he failed, until he died). The possession mechanic is re-introduced with the 7th edition Psychic Discipline Malefic Daemonology, which allows you to possess the caster with a Greater Daemon. Because Greater Daemons and Daemon Heralds are also characters, this can result in a loop of a Daemon possessing another daemon, even letting the same daemon possess him/herself to regenerate all lost wounds (but this will make them lose any upgrades you purchased initially). In 40k, some radical Inquisitors create Daemonhosts, imprisoning a Warp entity within a ritually-prepared human vessel. Theoretically this gives the Inquisitor a great source of diabolic intelligence and an extremely potent battlefield asset; in practice it ensures that the Inquisitor will be tortured to death by his peers if he's ever caught, since the creation of such blasphemies is the work of the most vile of heretics. And, as of their latest codex, the Grey Knights. The Exorcists chapter of Space Marines actually uses possession as part of its initiation. The initiate is possessed by a minor Warp creature for several hours (in a room with as much security as possible, they're not entirely stupid), and must cast out the daemon through force of will. If successful, the initiate is thereafter invisible to daemons. As well as whatever knowledge they gained from the experience. Even inanimate objects aren't immune to this trope. In both games Daemon Weapons are extremely potent pieces of wargear available to Chaos champions, with the downside of occasionally injuring their wielder if he falters during the unending contest of wills (assuming the daemon doesn't break free completely and start rampaging across the battlefield). There's also an entire category of unholy amalgams of daemon and metal called Daemon Engines, from the Hellcannon of Warhammer to the Defiler, Forgefiend, and Helldrake of 40k. Even "normal" tanks from the Chaos Space Marine armoury can purchase Daemonic Possession as an upgrade, allowing them to ignore being shaken or stunned by oncoming fire — though they lose some of their skill at shooting, and daemonically-possessed transports may eat infantry who try to ride inside them.note Transport that ate your troops regain hullpoints. If you don't particularly care about this squad of cheap expendable cultists and plan to use this Land Raider as a tank rather than as a transport, this is a win-win situation. |

The Powers of Harmony: It eventually turns out that Cetus has been hiding in Rarity's magic font ever since the fight with Nightmare Moon. She later upgrades to Grand Theft Me by stealing Celestia's body and sealing away her Lifeforce in the Sun. Not that this works out so well for Rarity, since as soon as Cetus leaves, she implants Eclipse in her body as a replacement. Though Eclipse, at least, is willing to work with Rarity rather than waste energy fighting her for control (as long as she stays the dominant party). | |

Final Space: Invictus is capable of both the first and second types: reanimating the thousands of dead alternate Gary's that have come to Final Space as its army of puppets, and forcibly possessing Gary and then Avocato when Gary accidentally summons its astral form in Season 2. In the latter case, instead of Invictus directly suppressing his mind and controlling his body for itself, it massively amplifies and exacerbates all of Avocato's doubts, insecurities, and worst traits to make him turn uncontrollably Ax-Crazy against his friend and his son. The main symptoms of possession by Invictus are gaining purple Glowing Eyes of Doom and (if Invictus is directly puppeteering the body like with Gary) a near-perpetual Slasher Smile. | |

Judge Dredd: When the Dark Judges are in their ghost forms they can control human vessels, especially those with psychic abilities. (Possessing Cassie Anderson was how Death got back after the first time he died.) To manifest in their true forms, however, they require specially prepared corpses. There are also "regular" demonic possessions in Mega-City One, although they're pretty rare — no more than 20 cases or so a year (in a population of 400 million). There's a department of Psi-Division specifically devoted to demonology because of this. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: When Princess Luna was transformed into Nightmare Moon through her bitterness and jealousy, it's all but stated Nightmare Moon is actually a manifestation of Luna's jealousy that is possessing her. Part of this is because of Luna being Easily Forgiven after being returned to her original form (as eternal night would freeze the world and bring the apocalypse), and part of this is because Word of God has hinted at it. The comics confirm an outside force is involved — the Nightmare Forces. | |

Doctor Who: "Image of the Fendahl": The Fendahl Skull did this to turn Thea Ransome, a scientist, into a golden Grim Reaper. "Kinda" suggests the Mara could do this to Fifth Doctor companion Tegan. The trope is fulfilled in spades in the sequel serial "Snakedance". "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit": What may or may not be the Devil himself possesses the archaeologist Toby Zed. "42": Korwin, Ashton and the Doctor all get possessed by a living star which forces them to attack others in revenge for having part of itself stolen for fuel, giving them Glowing Eyes of Doom. "Midnight": Some kind of alien lifeform possesses a human, imitates the speech of others, and incapacitates the Doctor. "The Witchfinders": Becka Savage and King James both claim that Satan can possess anyone. Becka herself, who has been leading witch hunts, is actually possessed by an alien, the Morax queen, after she chopped down the tree serving as the lock to the Morax's prison. The queen eventually takes over Becka's body. "The Haunting of Villa Diodati": Lord Byron raises this as a possible explanation when Dr. Polidori abruptly walks through what appears to be a wall after everyone in the house has been trapped inside the rooms they're in by the house twisting in on itself. The actual reason is because Polidori, being a sleepwalker, is immune to the Perception Filter that's part of the trap in this state. |

Child of the Storm: The main threat of the Darkhold comes in this form — it opens a door for the user to be possessed by the Elder God of Chaos and Black Magic, Chthon. At the end of the first book, he finally manages to pull this on Gravemoss (who no one felt particularly sorry for), then after Gravemoss is either vaporised or punched to Jupiter (the narration is a little ambiguous), he tries to possess Wanda, whose exposure to his power at Mount Wundagore when she was born makes her a perfect host. Harry, however, gets in the way, which locks Chthon in a psychic cage-match with the Phoenix, just as Doctor Strange intended. In Chapter 64 of the sequel, Hermione is possessed by the entity haunting the Fallen Fortress in the Forbidden Forest, in order to gain control of her inherent chaos magic. |

In the Disenchantment episode "The Princess of Darkness", Sorcerio convinces King Zog that his daughter Princess Bean's criminal misbehavior is the result of demonic influence. While this is sort of true — Bean's demon friend Luci is telling her to do bad things — he's not actually controlling or forcing her to do anything against her will. However, when Zog and Odval hire an exorcist named Big Jo to remove Bean's demon, the Enchantress (Luci's secret master, watching them from a distance) casts a spell that forces Luci to possess Bean's body for real, to try (and fail) to hide Luci from the exorcist. During Big Jo's exorcism of Bean, Luci takes the opportunity to taunt Jo and spin Bean's head around a few times, just for fun. | |

This was the most potent ability of Baby, the first main antagonist of Dragon Ball GT. Being rather pragmatic, he tried to possess the most powerful individuals he could to accomplish his stated goal (reviving the Tuffle race and exterminating the Saiyans) and quickly abandon a host when a stronger one was available. However, he also left a small part of himself in each former host, assuring that he could still assume control of them later if he had to. When his initial plan to possess Goku fails, he next targets Gohan, but only long enough to attack Vegeta and switch to him, which makes him a potent enemy for the rest of the arc. | |

Demon In Fodlan: It has been hinted in previous chapters that a Demon Pillar is possessing Aelfric, which is finally confirmed in Chapter 55 when Demon Pillar Sitri reveals itself, having taken over Aelfric for several months prior to the main events. It hijacks Aelfric's original role as the Cindered Shadows arc's villain and attempts to use the Cardinal's plans to restore itself and take revenge on humanity for the death of its fellow Demon Pillars. | |

The Ultimate Evil: Shendu does this to Jade and Valmont, as per canon. He later possesses his love interest Valerie Payne instead of Jackie to get to the Book of Ages. In the sequel The Stronger Evil, Hsi Wu attempts to possess Jade in order to escape the Netherworld. At Valerie's request, Shendu helps Jade by telling her what she needs to do to cast Hsi Wu out. | |

In Nomine: A particular Band of demons, the Shedim, do this; unlike other demons who are given specially created bodies to inhabit while on earth, they enter the bodies of humans and manipulate the unlucky individual into doing evil things, which the host believes were his own idea. They can only stay in a certain host for so long at one time, as the host's resistance increases over time and the demon MUST force their host to perform acts of escalating evilness each day or suffer. Their angelic counterparts, the Kyriotates, act similarly, but can possess multiple entities (which do not have to be human), can totally take over the host's body (the host's mind is kept in a dreamlike state and will remember nothing about the possession) and may stay within a host as long as they like, as long as their host is not in worse condition than it was originally found. Needless to say, they don't force their hosts into depravity. There's actually a Song (which are not to be confused with mere spells in the game) that allows any Celestial to possess any living thing. |

Pokémon: The Series: Ash got possessed a few times by an evil being. One towards the end of the Battle Frontier arc ("Battling The Enemy Within") has him being possessed by an ancient king bent on getting back at the Legendary Pokémon Ho-oh and eventually taking over the world. The second was in Pokémon: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, thanks to Hoopa's shadow. Beraz and Meowth also had this in the latter. Another episode has Pikachu being possessed by the Blue Orb and Archie being possessed by the Red Orb. In the movie Pokémon: I Choose You! after Cross corrupts the Rainbow Wing in his attempt to summon Ho-Oh, Marshadow possesses his Lycanroc as well as the wild Pokémon living on the mountain and tries to kill everyone. |

Doctor Who (Titan): In "The Swords of Kali", the "demon" is a fourth-dimensional alien who has assumed the guise of the Indian goddess of the title on Earth. In a Type 2 example, a cult slays thousands of people in her name over the centuries and manages to imprison their souls; the energy of these souls gives her the power to possess Clara Oswald's body and take on a giant physical form. Clara's consciousness is imprisoned within it and tries Fighting from the Inside. When the Doctor destroys the prison that contained the souls, Kali loses her power and Clara is restored to normal. | |

South Park: While he's semi-permanently dead in Season 6, Kenny channels himself through Cartman (who drinks Kenny's ashes). This is an interesting inversion since Kenny is much nicer to Stan and Kyle than Cartman. Michael Jackson has also channeled himself through Ike in "Dead Celebrities". He's just happy being a kid and has to win a little girl beauty pageant in order to leave. In "Freemium Isn't Free", upon learning that the Canadian Devil is responsible for exploitative freemium games, Satan asks to borrow Stan's body so he can fight him. After he's done, he returns Stan's body to his friends. |

Roa in Tsukihime has gained effective immortality by switching bodies. Whenever his current one dies, he goes to the next prepared host. In the event he couldn't prepare one in time, he can end up as someone like Elisia aka Ciel who has immense power but not the lineage and wealth he prefers. In a way, though, he's actually already dead as his ego has been reduced to two goals: continue seeking immortality, and apologize to Arcueid, which he doesn't realize he wants to do. | |

Devil Venerable Also Wants To Know: When Wenren E uses a Dangerous Forbidden Technique to turn himself into a blood cultivator, he gains the ability to instantly possess and take control of anyone's body without being detected by other cultivators which makes infiltrating enemy sects a breeze. He can even access all of the memories of the person he's possessing, although he refrains from doing so except for one case near the end. He Wenzhao turns out to have been possessed by an elder demon who's the only blood cultivator in the world other than Wenren E and would have gone completely undetected if Wenren E hadn't sensed its existence. He Wenzhao actually agreed to be possessed by it, but without knowing its true nature and being fooled into believing that it was benevolent. |

GURPS covers this idea in different ways for different game settings. For example: Creatures of the Night has a... thing that uses some sort of cosmic power to possess entire buildings. The Madness Dossier: The êkimmu is a Mesopotamian Monstrosity with no physical form of its own that seems to be a sort of independent meme or mental subroutine. It takes over human victims in a way virtually indistinguishable from classic demonic possession. A few heroic but often unstable Project SANDMAN agents, known as chevals, have been subjected to radical brain-hacking processes related to Voudoun ideas of spiritual possession. They can trigger secondary personalities with advanced skills and even borderline-superhuman abilities. The result looks much like possession, though the Project would insist that it's no such thing. |

In Demon: The Descent, Demons don't do this. Instead, they use Pacts to steal fragments of people's lives to bolster their own disguise as being humans... Or, for a high level Pact, they can literally steal a person's life, removing the person from existence and taking their form, memories, everything as their own. The "Possession" Exploit, however, plays it straight (though a Demon can't keep it up for too long without shredding their actual Cover). | |

Forgotten Realms: Dornal Silverhand noticed that his wife slowly turned into a withered shell. Some research revealed that she was possessed by "an entity of great magical power." He beheaded her to spare both of them any further agony (what is worse, she was carrying a child), only to be told that she agreed to be possessed by the goddess Mystra, in order to give birth to "special" daughters. Freak Out ensued. This did not stop the most powerful deity of that world, but youngest of Seven Sisters was born as a drow (which may be the sole good result of disaster). Mystra made Dornal practically immortal so he could find peace sooner or later, but averted his meeting with the last daughter, as she thought it would provoke another Freak Out. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead sees an attempt to summon a demon for interrogation and then exorcise it go slightly wrong. At first it appears to have worked, with the demon seemingly banished in a cloud of black smoke, until the following episode when it's revealed to have possessed one of the plucky sidekicks, with the episode after that dedicated to the (very disturbing) attempts at exorcising it. That's not to mention all the Deadites in the series in general, who are humans (or corpses) possessed by Kandarian demons. | |

Demons in Unknown Armies can only interact with the material world through possession, which is dangerously easy to accidentally cause. Some adepts know spells to conjure demons, but not all know spells that also bind them... As well, demons are actually the souls of dead humans, twisted by death and their obsession, always out to pursue their agendas in the world of the living but often getting sidetracked by renewed exposure to physical sensation. They'll say or do anything for just a little more time. Also the cause of lycanthropy, in a rather complicated and roundabout fashion. | |

Apparently, this afflicts Josh Alexander in Night and Day. For the most part he’s a kind-hearted, if mysterious, soul -– but later in the series, he begins to act demonically at times, taking pleasure in the suffering of others and apparently gaining the ability to harm people simply by staring at them with menacing red eyes. On at least one occasion 'Josh' explicitly states that he is not Josh, apparently suggesting that a parasitic entity of some form is responsible — although its influence on him appears to be intermittent. The nature of the possession, if that's indeed what it is, is never really explained, though it appears to be triggered when Alex punches him and he hits his head. It may be related to his blackouts and/or a quasi-symbolic side-effect of his parent issues. The phenomenon, which also deploys aspects of the Romantic Vampire Boy trope, has vanished by the series’ close, with just as little explanation as with its introduction. | |

The Eventide Verse: Typical for a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Fan Verse, Luna is depicted as having been possessed when she was Nightmare Moon. The Long Eventide notes that she has large gaps in her memory from when the Nightmare was in control, and Nightmare Moon is often referred to as a separate entity. "Downing" from the Flashes of Eventide flash fiction collection shows her last few moments before it took over her completely. In the sci-fi action story Crystalforged, the point of view character, Rutile Quartz, ends up possessed by what's left of Rabia, mother of the ancient enemy of the Crystal Empire, the umbrum. Thankfully, Rutile wins the resulting struggle for control of the body. By the last chapter, it seems to be on its way to becoming a Symbiotic Possession instead. |

In the last book of The Bartimaeus Trilogy an ill-advised magical experiment leads to a number of powerful demons inhabiting most of the higher members of the government. The demons have no ability to possess people, but the magicians summoned them into their own bodies, believing they could control them. Instead they obliterated their minds and set up shop. In order to fight them, Nathaniel and Bartimaeus have to truly trust each other and share a body — this has the added benefit of being temporary. Nathaniel can dismiss Bartimaeus, while the other demons are trapped in their new bodies, permanently cut off from home. | |

The Dora Wilk Series has a fair share of possessed people: first, Raphael turns our to have been possessed for years, then, in book five, Dora is possessed, to both hers and demons' disgruntlement, and Baal reveals that he was possessed by a demon but took control over it, effectively possessing a demon. The person and demon can be connected against their wish by a special magical ritual, which is how all of the above became possessed. | |

From The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Ravers are a trio of powerful demons who collectively act as The Dragon to Big Bad Lord Foul. They don't have true bodies of their own, but possess a variety of mortals across the series (they can possess humans without help, but require a power boost before they can possess Haruchai or Giants). Some main characters get possessed at different points and are able to describe the experience. | |

In the Wander over Yonder episode "The Fancy Party", Lord Hater attempts to impress a wealthy socialite to inherit her fortune before she dies. He succeeds, only for it to turn out that she's actually the host of a demonic entity that claims a new host every millennium and wants to make Hater its newest host (it almost made Wander its next victim before Hater interrupted). It transfers to Hater, who starts choking on it, but Wander gives him the Heimlich maneuver and transfers the entity to a sandwich, forcing it to spend the next thousand years, and the rest of the series, as "Sourdough the Evil Sandwich". | |

For much of the final book (The Last Olympian), he serves as the vessel for the Titan King until the "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight where Luke casts out Kronos in his Heel–Face Turn. In The Heroes of Olympus, an eidolon, a Greek possessing spirit, possesses Leo into firing on Camp Jupiter, as part of Gaea's plan to raise hostilities between the two camps. Later, eidolons possess Percy and Jason to fight each other. |

Buffyverse: Vampires as a whole are an example of this — they're dead bodies possessed by demons. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "The Dark Age", Eyghon the Sleepwalker can inhabit any unconscious or dead body in his vicinity. Angel: Inverted in "I've Got You Under My Skin" when the gang goes to try and exorcise a demon-possessed boy... only for it to turn out that the boy is soulless and has trapped the now-terrified demon inside his body. In the last season, Winifred Burkle's soul is destroyed by a magical ritual and her body taken over by an ancient demonic being called Illyria. Fred comes back in Angel & Faith. |

Technically what's happening when Rikuo (or his father Rihan who invented the technique) use Matoi in Nurarihyon no Mago. As one half (Rihan) or one quarter (Rikuo) Youkai their human sides are just as susceptible to possession by another youkai as a normal human but their own youkai heritage means they can control the abilities of the one possessing them. It requires a great deal of trust on the part of both participants to pull off though. | |

The Prayer Warriors: Grover falls prey to this twice. In "Threat of Satanic Commonism", Josef Stalin (who is himself implied to be possessed by Satan) has Grover "demon processed", and while Jerry makes an attempt to save him after stabbing him non-fatally, he realizes he has to kill Grover, and does so by stabbing him in the throat (he gets better). In "The Evil Gods Part II", Grover is possessed again, and the Prayer Warriors try to save him by holding his head underwater and praying for him; the attempt fails and he drowns, dying yet again. | |

Transformers: The Transformers has Starscream become a ghost after he dies, and over the span of two series possesses other transformers (Cyclonus, Scourge in G1 and Waspinator in Beast Wars). In Transformers: Prime, Megatron exposes himself to Dark Energon, the blood of Unicron, which allows Unicron to possess him in the first season finale. It's a testament to the strength of this Megatron's will, though, that Unicron had to knock him out before he could take total control. It happens again during the Grand Finale movie, only this time much easier since Megatron is currently dead courtesy of a Star-Saber-made hole through his chest and he's unable to do much more than be a prisoner in his own body. |

In Gravity Falls, Bill Cipher can take control of a mortal body if he convinces (or tricks) the host into giving him permission to do so. In "Sock Opera", Dipper — in a desperate attempt to get a password to a laptop containing information he needs — makes a deal with Bill Cipher, who says he "only wants a puppet" (Mabel had made a bunch of sock puppets to impress her crush). Bill proceeds to rip Dipper's soul from his body and takes over, smashing the laptop before declaring his intentions to go after the journal. Fortunately, Mabel and Dipper are able to kick Bill out before he does any more damage. This episode serves as foreshadowing for the backstory revealed in "The Last Mabelcorn": Years before the events of the show took place, Stanford Pines made a permanent deal with Bill which enabled Bill to possess his body whenever he liked. He only manages to keep Bill out by means of a metal plate installed in his head. In "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", Bill finds a third pawn in time-traveler Blendin Blandin. |

There are at least two tiers of possession in The Greenhouse. The first is where a demon attaches itself to a presumably unwilling and usually unwitting host. The connection is weak, though, and easily disrupted by salt, sage, and/or holy water (a smoothie combining those ingredients is actually the suggested cure). Unfortunately, it's also not the kind of possession that main character Mica is dealing with. Her demon, 'Red', is actually bound by an incomplete summoning ritual, which she accidentally tied to herself by shattering Red's mirror and cutting herself on the glass. This sort of thing would normally be done intentionally for a demonic servant, but for Mica it means it's going to take an expert in blood magic to even begin untangling Red from her soul. And the longer Red stays, the thinner Mica's soul becomes. By the time they're finally separated, Mica's soul is regularly slipping into Red's home plane, with presumably disastrous consequences if Red didn't keep catching it. | |
