Familial Body Snatcher | comment |
A type of Body Snatcher who uses Grand Theft Me and Body Surf who possesses their own family members and descendants. This may be because of a restriction on their power, often attributed to Genetic Memory or needing a close blood match or preference since it allows them to keep resources and property through the generations, which may justify a Single Line of Descent. Since this process typically overwrites or suppresses the body's original consciousness, effectively killing the host, it's usually portrayed as Parasitic Immortality and Immortality Immorality. These body snatchers will usually stick to one gender as their targets of possession, though taking any available body regardless of gender is not unheard of. Compare My Grandson, Myself, where an immortal or long-lived character pretends to be their own descendant, and Walking Transplant, which includes the variation where a person has their brain placed in a younger clone body which may have had a life of its own up to that point. Related closely to Raised as a Host, since it's often a parent having a child for this specific purpose. |

Two thousand years before the rest of the Heralds of Valdemar series, Big Bad Ma'ar, the Mage of Black Flames, pulled a My Death Is Just the Beginning, killing himself and using the energy of his death to catapult himself into a Soul Jar. After that, he waited for an unprotected male of his bloodline to use magic for the first time and possessed him, destroying the mind of the host. This pattern repeated uncounted times over the centuries, with him making sure to leave offspring so he'd always have a way back to the real world. The first time, it was Symbiotic Possession and he persuaded his host to let him in by promising teaching and revenge only to turn on him, but afterwards he didn't bother with such niceties. Each life had him subtly return changed, undergoing gradual Villain Decay from a cruel human into a Stupid Evil monster, Deathless and Debauched, due to his soul slowly accumulating damage. His final incarnation, while possibly the strongest mage in the setting at the time, was a shadow of his old self, unable even to quite realize how diminished he had become. | |

Samurai Jack: The penultimate episode reveals Ashi, Jack's love interest, to be Aku's daughter resulting from the High Priestess having drank a whole chalice of himself. As Ashi is an extension of Aku, this allows Aku to completely overwhelm Ashi and turn her into another clone of himself and force her to fight Jack. | |

Flemeth in Dragon Age is stated to use her daughters for this after her body succumbs to the ravages of age. Her latest daughter Morrigan requests in an optional sidequest that you hunt her down before she can pull this on her, not that it sticks since she shows up in the next two games. Complicating matters is that Yavana, another of Flemeth's daughters introduced in The Silent Grove, refers to Flemeth's possession as "a gift", but this isn't elaborated on. Dragon Age: Inquisition also adds a huge level of irony when Flemeth's true nature is revealed, since Flemeth has become one with the Elven Goddess Mythal, whose domain is motherhood. | |

Enlightenments: As in the source material, this is the Queen of the Castle in the Mist's plan for her daughters. The fic expands on her reason for doing so as being because she wants to stay with her immortal husband, Wander, and because of having her sense of morality messed up by a botched exorcism at some point. | |

Hemlock Grove: Towards the end of season 3, Dr. Johan Pryce develops the ability to upload someone's mind into a new body. His employer Olivia, who is dying of a vampiric disease, has him transfer her into an unsuspecting billionaire's body. However, the upload soon decays and Pryce explains that genetic compatibility is an issue. Desperate, Olivia then makes repeated attempts to download herself into all of her three children, each of whom rebuff her or fight her off. | |

Symphogear: In the first season, it is revealed that Finé, the Big Bad, and Ryoko, the Disaster Relief Squad's Chief Scientist, are one and the same. When faced with the truth, Hibiki asks Finé Was It All a Lie? as she had looked up to Ryoko. Finé reveals that she has the ability to possess any of her descendants, which includes Ryoko. Years ago, Ryoko was exposed to the Aufwachen Waves from Tsubasa awakening her relic which awoke Finé's consciousness within her and completely overwrote her own, meaning the original Ryoko had been Dead All Along. In the second season, the antagonists gathered a group of receptor children to act as potential vessels for Finé. Maria claims that she is Finé's reincarnation, but it is eventually revealed that Finé's consciousness failed to reincarnate in her. It turns out Shirabe was the one who Finé reincarnated in, but due to having changed since her defeat in the last season, Finé ends up Taking the Bullet when Shirabe gets fatally wounded during her duel with Kirika in the climax and her soul peacefully passes on. |

DuckTales (2017): Magica in her current state is a Living Shadow that can only affect her niece Lena. She can't control her fully, but is able to paralyze Lena on command, and uses the promise of freedom from this bond to coerce her into doing more. When the lunar eclipse strengthens Magica's powers, and Lena tries to get rid of her, Magica ends up taking over her body entirely. Ultimately, this is subverted, as Lena is actually Magica's Living Shadow, not biological family — by Magica's account, Lena isn't any kind of family, or even a person at all. | |

Giriko from Soul Eater would use his skills as an Enchanter to implant his own memories into his own children, granting him a form of immortality until Arachne resurfaced. After spending thirty generations doing this, bottling up his murderous tendencies in-hiding, it has not helped his temperament. To his annoyance, he's forced to switch to a female body shortly before his rage destroys his soul entirely. | |

Batman Beyond: In "Out of the Past", Ra's al Ghul was badly injured during his Final Battle with Batman and the Lazarus Pit couldn't heal him. His body hijacking machine could only imprint his memories on a "close genetic match", so he stole the body of his daughter Talia. More recent advances allow him to possess anyone, so he wants to hijack Bruce Wayne's body. The episode is a Whole-Plot Reference to The Thing on the Doorstep. "Lost Soul" has a wealthy businessman use Brain Uploading to create a digital version of himself after his death. Years later, his grandson reactivates the digital copy to ask for his grandfather's advice. The digital copy has other ideas and tries to download itself into his grandson's body. Luckily, Batman stops him. |

In Medusa's Web, the late Amity Madden attempts to possess her niece Madeline in order to have a healthy body with which to complete her unfinished business. In this case, the familial link is mostly incidental — the factor that really makes Madeline vulnerable is her long-ago encounter with the Medusa — but it adds a creepiness to the fact that Amity really doesn't care how damaged Madeline might get in the process. | |

In the Dune series, "Abominations" whose Genetic Memory of their ancestors was awoken when they were still in the womb are at risk of this, shown by Alia in Children of Dune when she starts being influenced by the memories and ego of her grandfather, Baron Harkonnen. While the series makes it clear that it's not his actual spirit, the effect is very much the same. | |

Girl Genius: Lucrezia Mongfish/The Other's two known successful instances of Brain Uploading into a living person (as opposed to a Clank) have been in her own relatives, mainly her daughter Agatha and her niece Zola. Whether she's actually limited to her own relatives hasn't been clarified, but it's known all previous attempts with non-relatives were failures. It's also been strongly implied that Agatha was conceived specifically as a backup in case anything happened to the original Lucrezia. The aforementioned previous failures were due to the beacon engine not being assembled properly. Lucrezia points this out and actually fixes it, increasing her range of available options by her own words. She can use Clank bodies to advance her schemes, but she would actually need an organic body with the Spark to improve her research, and it has been since then shown that Agatha's body has very special significance since she has the potential to become a Goddess-Queen, so this trope is still into full-play. The Baron places an overlay of his personality in his son Gil's mind which is very much like what was done to Agatha even if he protests that it is not as extreme a modification; it is true that it only overtly surfaces when Gil comes into contact with Agatha. |

Miang from Xenogears is able to possess any woman descended from her, which given that the world is a Lost Colony and humanity was born from her after Deus created her, this means all of them (with the exception of Emeralda, whose status as an Artificial Human means her DNA, if she even has it, isn't from Miang). She has gone through an average of one body a decade for 10,000 years. It's also shown that the woman's original personality remains intact even after the possession, as a previous host Karen Wong, Fei's mother was able to re-emerge after Miang abandoned the body moments prior to the host's death. She also possessed identical twin sisters on at least one occasion. | |

Yamato Takeru from Maken-ki! can technically possess anyone he wants, but it put a massive strain on his soul unless they're biologically related to him. To work around this, he both impregnated as many women as he could and, after possessing his modern-day descendant Ouken, began to mass-produce clones of himself. Thus giving him both an army and a steady amount of replacement bodies. | |

Irene Belserion from Fairy Tail once tried this by enchanting her memories and personality onto her newborn daughter in an attempt to escape her Sense Loss Sadness. However, the attempt ended in failure because they were blood-related. At least, that's what she tells herself, unable to admit it was because she couldn't bring herself to do such a horrible thing to her child. | |

In Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Darius Ainsworth has done this for a thousand years with a technique called Conceptual Replacement, which allows him to take over their bodies. Unlike most examples he's not in control the entire time, and his current host, Julian, uses this to masquerade as his own father (who was Darius' previous host). | |

A non-malicious example in Kamen Rider Kiva. Hollywood Voodoo gone wrong, plus our Half-Human Hybrid hero, equals said hero being possessed by the ghost of his Disappeared Dad for two episodes. | |

Tales of Terror: In "Morella", Morella's spirit possesses the body of her daughter in order to extract vengeance on her husband. And everything goes horribly wrong (or goes horribly right, depending on your perspective). | |
