As a Hive Mind is one mind, many bodies, a Mind Hive is the opposite — many minds, one body. The minds/consciousnesses/souls/whatnot of different people are housed within one body, most likely through magical or technological means. The minds can communicate with each other, and normally actions are through consensus. Distinct from Split Personality because even if what's housed inside is totally separate entities that got merged, they still retain their individuality. Sometimes may speak in I Am Legion pattern. Compare Sharing a Body, Two Beings, One Body, and Many Spirits Inside of One. Contrast Merger of Souls. See also Animal Eye Spies. |

Nevermoor: There are two Scholar Headmistresses at Wunsoc: Ms. Dearborn for the School of the Mundane, and Mrs. Murgatroyd for the School of the Arcane. Morrigan is quite taken aback when she gets there and finds out that Dearborn and Murgatroyd are, essentially, two different women in one body, and one will transform into the other with very little warning — sometimes without one's say-so. They can interact directly, but it's rare, and they don't seem to particularly like one another. The third book reveals the School of the Wundrous, and the existence of a third personality named Rook, who becomes Morrigan's Scholar Headmistress when she begins to study the Wundrous Arts. Morrigan tentatively asks her how many people are "in there", and Rook admits she's not sure; she only showed up when Morrigan did. She compares it to being a Russian nesting doll — she knows Murgatroyd and Dearborn (who seems to be the biggest doll in this analogy) are there, because they're "outside" of her, but she has no idea if she's the innermost personality, or just one of many in the middle. Interestingly, she also comments that Dearborn might not even know she exists yet; Rook only "sees" Murgatroyd on her way in or out, so unless she told her, Dearborn may well still be in the dark. | |

Jacob's Ladder Trilogy: Mallory has "a head so full of dead people I suspect whoever I started off as should probably be counted as one of them". Mallory is a necromancer, which in this setting means collecting the data of now dead people to prevent their knowledge, skills and whatever else of themselves they had saved before death from being lost, and being able to use that information, all the while getting all the individual people to be nice to each other. While Mallory is an extreme example, the same technology allows for other people to have milder cases of this as well. For example, the ship's Captain and Chief Engineer both get their predecessors' data loaded into their brains, which enables them to use their knowledge and also to talk to them. And then there's eating other people, which is similar to the above, but obviously with less voluntary participation from the one being eaten. |

Atonement: This is how the Pandoras work, post-Character Development. Originally, it was a Hive Mind with Pandora Prime in charge, but then she got killed off and the other bodies she'd made eventually settled into 18 distinct personalities in constant telepathic contact. Due to their self-biokinesis, each personality usually has one body to herself, but they're capable of changing that at whim. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Fittingly, Hive is an example of this trope (in addition to the inversion, Hive Mind). Hive is an Inhuman who takes the form of a worm-like parasite that inhabits the dead. It can then reanimate and bolster the corpse, even healing it to full working order with enough food. It gains access to all the memories of its host and remembers all its previous hosts as well. This leads to some confusion as it will often switch between referring to the hosts as separate entities, while other times it speaks as them directly. S.H.I.E.L.D. eventually manages to cripple Hive for a time by using the memory extraction machine on it, thus making it relive all its hosts' memories at once. | |

Kade are a far more dangerous version, being the result of an infected Finnish hive. They are capable of infecting the mind directly, without going through the body, and most people infected by a Kade joins their infector, rather than forming a new Kade. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Hohenheim is this, due to being a living Philosopher's Stone. He's revealed to have reached an accord with each of the tens of thousands of souls sharing his body, though he's the dominant one in control. Envy's true form. He claims the souls lost their personalities long ago, but that doesn't stop faces from popping up all over him and wailing things like "mommy!". They also tend to speak for his subconscious ("Don't look!" "Don't Look!" "At me!"), so there are a lot of reasons he just doesn't wear this form normally. |

Twitch Plays Pokémon: This is pretty much exactly how the stream works. It's essentially a game of Pokémon where the player character is controlled via chat by... anyone. The end result is that hundreds to thousands of people are constantly controlling the character. Imagine two or three people fighting over a video-game controller, multiplied by several thousand. Add to that about a 20+ second delay between input and action which the majority of people don't even realize is there. | |

What Insertion?: This happens to Hellmaster Phibrizzo against his will due to a wish Inuyasha made on the Shikon no Tama. The wish transplanted him and the story's resident Author Avatar into twin chambers hollowed out within the mazoku's mind, and the both of them can move about freely within them and interact with things they find; this in turn affects Phibrizzo's immediate reality, much to his constant irritation. | |

The Divine Comedy: On Mars, the souls of the martyrs are in such harmony that they organize into what appears to be one gigantic cross and single with what sounds like one, heavenly voice, On Jupiter, the souls of The Good Kings work together to take the shape of a gigantic eagle, the symbol of the Roman Empire. Amazingly, not only can they perfectly move parts of the Eagle's bodies without speaking to each other, but the Eagle can talk separately from any of them. Spiritually, this shows the perfection of Heavenly communion, but it also makes a political point that kings are not supposed to manipulate others on whims, but are supposed to be one, subordinate part of a just society that works for the good of all. |

During the Eighth Doctor's tenure in Doctor Who Magazine, he fought against one of these. Turns out his companion Grace Holloway saved some of the saliva the Master spat at her during The Movie, and had begun researching it in hopes of introducing regenerative capabilities on humans. Unfortunately, at that point in time the Master was actually possessing an alien creature, and only his strong will kept his body's urges and the influence of the other mind he consumed in line. The arrogant scientist who gained control of the project lacked the Master's will and experience with mind control, so he rapidly decayed into a lumbering mass of protoplasm, tormented by the dozens of minds he'd consumed, until the Doctor mercifully blew him up. | |

In The Exorcist, the demon Pazuzu appears to be one, containing the souls of the damned deceased. ("Your mother's in here with us, Karras.")note Not likely, since Karras' mother was devout and proud that her son was a priest. Maybe. Even less certain in the book. Even with all the proof he's seen, Karras still thinks of it in terms of "manifesting personalities" until Fr. Merrin, a world-renowned exorcist, dismisses this with a flat "There is only one." And since he's evicted Pazuzu before, you can take what he says to the bank. | |

Altogether Andrews from Discworld. He has several personalities lodging inside his body, some of which are only darkly referred to and never seen. And none of which are named Andrews.

In Homestuck, when two sentient beings are used as the ingredients of a Sprite, this may be the result.

So I'm a Spider, So What?: Protagonist Kumoko eventually gains the skill "Parallel Minds", which essentially creates new "brains" inside her (symbolized by whole new versions of herself), which are capable of separate thought and are tasked with taking care of different things during fights (for example, there is a Body Brain responsible for her movements and attacks, letting the original brain only act in processing information and strategizing, and later a brain whose only responsibility is to figure out how magic works and cast it during fights is added). Each new brain is added to her Split-Personality Team and they work together to make decisions outside of fights, like which skills she should invest on. | |

This is what Rude Zuud has become in Warframe after the Deck 12 incident. What used to be a Hive Mind (separate bodies with a single shared mental space) was shattered by the deaths of all but one, leaving the sole remaining individual with massive Survivor's Guilt and the inexplicable presence of several other pseudo-personalities speaking to them in commlink noises... the data-ghosts of her sisters, memory echoes of the connection they shared as a hive mind. | |

The Many in System Shock 2. In contrast to self-centered megalomaniac Shodan, who speaks in the Voice of the Legion, the Many alternate between separate and distinct voices. Humans assimilated by it begin slipping into the voice, though. | |

Marvel Universe: The Kree Supreme Intelligence is the collected brains of all the important Kree, harvested upon their deaths. The cyborg Death's Head II has assimilated the minds of 106 targets from across time and space. Most of them are suppressed, with Death's Head drawing on their skills but not overtly influenced by their personality, but there have been exceptions — mostly notable the original Death's Head, but also Bezial (who refused to cooperate and later stole a new body of his own) and Czorn Yson (who later built a new body and became Die-Cut). Deadpool has been known to house other minds within his own due to unusual circumstances. Agent Preston gets put into this position until they can put her mind into an LMD, while Madcap rode along in Deadpool's head for a while after merging with him, becoming the "second voice" in the Daniel Way run until they were split up again in Deadpool annual #1. Charles Xavier's all-powerful but tragically insane son, David Haller, has multiple personalities that are multiplying all the time. During his ongoing solo series, he was given an animal motif of superorganisms such as beehives or man-of-war jellyfish. He keeps them in check by imagining a prison where he drains their powers. When they assert dominance and assume control, it's depicted as them gnawing on his body. Bruce Banner has multiple personalities. Apart from the ones we've seen, they're all dormant, depicted in his mind as frozen in ice as a kind of stasis. When the ice breaks, they start fighting for control. |

I Will Fear No Evil: After having his brain transplanted into another person's body, Johann Smith picks up additional personalities: first the one which formerly inhabited his body, and later that of his lawyer after the lawyer's death. Something of a subversion in that while he clearly knew things he could only have learned from the previous inhabitant of the body, there's no clear method of transfer for the lawyer's memories, so at some point he may have simply gone insane. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: 3rd Edition introduced the playable synad race in the Complete Psionic handbook. Each synad has three fully independent minds fused into a functional whole: an "overmind" that controls the synad's actions most of the time, and two "subminds", a "collective" mind that can tap into the synad's racial memory and an "oracle" mind that can offer Combat Clairvoyance once per day. Besides ensuring that a synad is never alone and can always look at problems from multiple viewpoints, their threefold minds let them more easily resist mental attacks, or "multitask" by spending a power point to have a submind perform a purely mental action as a free action. This quirk affects the synads' appearance — in normal light, they can pass for tall, hairless humans, but in dim lighting, and if a synad has expended all their daily power points, two ghostly visages representing their subminds become visible around a synad's physical head. Subverted with the elder brains of the illithids, which are supposedly a gestalt consciousness of all the mind-flayers who have gone before them, absorbed into the greater whole. That's just what the elder brains tell the illithids. Absorbing illithid brains give them the fallen illithid's psychic energy and memories, but nothing of their consciousness remains. |

Ermac from the Mortal Kombat series was a single being created via the combination of a legion of souls by Shao Khan and tends to speak as "we" to represent this fact. Mortal Kombat 9 reveals that Edenia's former king Jerrod is one of the souls within Ermac. Mortal Kombat X, which follows a Time Skip after the previous game, implies that Shao Khan's soul has joined them. | |

Alex Mercer/ZEUS, from [PROTOTYPE]. The original Mercer was a Mad Scientist who unleashed the Blacklight virus on Penn Station to spite Blackwatch when they cornered him, but inadvertently became the host of the virus. Initially ZEUS, the player character, is the reanimated corpse of Mercer that thinks it's really him. However, as he kills and absorbs other humans, the original Mercer is supplanted as the memories and minds of his victims are incorporated into him. This actually causes "Mercer" to grow a conscience and become less of a dick than the real one. | |

Dune: Abominations are people who experience Bene Gesserit memory sharing before birth. As a result, they are subject to being taken over by the personalities of their genetic ancestors. This can lead to some interesting situations: Alia was taken over by multiple personalities just before her death. Prior to this, her grandfather Baron Vladimir Harkonnen had controlled her for a fair amount of time. Leto II reached a compromise: He built a sort of council of more level-headed ancestors (led by an Egyptian Pharaoh) to help him share his consciousness, staving off some of the crazy ones (like Baron Harkonnen). |

Steven Universe: Fusion tends to work this way. When two or more Gems fuse with each other, an entirely new entity is created, but if the new form is unbalanced or experiences emotional turmoil, the constituents can often be heard speaking back and forth through the combined form's individual voice. It's even described as one character as being akin to a conversation, though the literal metaphor of the Fusion Dance may be a more apt comparison, in that the result is no longer two beings, but not quite just a whole new being; rather, fusion is an experience, the parts having to work in-synch for the whole to function. According to Rebecca Sugar, one of the "permafusions", Flourite, who is composed of six different Gems, speaks very slowly for this sole reason. The more Gems are involved, the harder it is for all of them to be in sync so that their combined form is speaking for everyone. | |

Technically, anything with a nervous system is a Mind Hive in the same sense as the Geth are in Mass Effect — except replace "simple programs" with "cells". Even as part of a body, cells are still distinct life forms with their own personal, (albeit primitive) functions. Alone, even a brain cell is completely non-sapient. Working together with other cells however, the basal, one-track "motivation" of a cell can form an incredibly complex network of electrochemical interactions sufficient enough to carry out intelligent actions. This is how the brain is designed — our "minds" are the result of the interactions between over a hundred billion neurons and synapses mingling together to form a single greater consciousness above the level of any single cell. | |

The Valkyries of the Valkyrie Profile series utilize this trope. The souls of einherjar — warriors deemed worthy enough to become part of Odin's armies — are taken into a Valkyrie's body and dwell within her while she continues her duties in the mortal realms. As Valkyries are also responsible for helping to train einherjar in preparation for service in the afterlife, they can temporarily summon the einherjar to their side during combat. Alicia from Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria is the best example of the trope in action. She's just a human teenager, but her body is also the "can" of the Valkyrie Silmeria, who shares control of Alicia's body. Silmeria also has a large host of Einherjar residing within her, and they can speak in Alicia's mind (as they do in the opening cutscenes). | |

A Trill who plays host to a symbiont will have all the memories and experiences of previous hosts, as well as elements of their personalities, but (if properly trained) won't be consumed by them; the current host instead retains his/her individuality. Also downplayed in Star Trek: Picard with the Daystrom Android M-5-10. It was initially stated to contain the minds Data, Lore, B-4 and even Lal along with its own creator. However, it is subsequently revealed to only have the actual "minds" of the former two, with the rest just being copies of their memories. |

Inky Future: Much like Gem fusions, the fused entity known as "Leviathan" made from Agents 3 through 8 after they were blended together is one of these, the main reason that they manage to make it work is because all six individuals comprising Leviathan have close bonds and learned to link their minds to coordinate while still maintaining their individuality. Learning that this is the case triggers a Villainous Breakdown in Commander Tartar, who was expecting their minds to be merged and in fact detests the concept of individuality and free will, and Leviathan gleefully rubs this fact in in their face and insinuates that Tartar's desired "ultimate life form" would never work with melded minds without senses of self and individuality. | |

All of them coexist as one deity with four roles but occasionally they argue. When they argue, it all comes out of Remho's single mouth. During Looming Shadow, Basilard looks into the surface of BloodDrinker's blade and sees countless Bladi chiefs staring back at him, the souls of the sword's previous wielders. |

During one of Failboat's livestreams, he coded a war for his live chat to play Bandana Waddle Dee alongside him in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, just like Twitch Plays Pokemon (see below). Chat, using TTS, interpreted this as Waddle Dee being possessed by thousands of different voices, which technically he is. | |

Red vs. Blue has an unusual example. The Meta has a collection of A.I.s in his head and continues to collect more. Since the A.I.s are all fragments of an original A.I., it's a little unclear of how much of the individual personalities they — or their human host — retain. | |

Animorphs: the Ellimist has a pattern of switching between "I" and "we", so characters are unsure of how many Ellimists there are. The prequel book reveals that this trope is actually in play — before getting godlike powers, the Ellimist was an alien refugee captured by "Father", a massive sea-creature that killed countless people (including the few other members of the Ellmist's species) and absorbed their minds. The Ellimist eventually defeated Father and absorbed the minds into himself. Visser One concludes that humans as a race are this. Self-doubt and second guessing are alien concepts to Yeerks until they meet humans, and their best translation is that it is like living with your own worst traitor in your head. She also sees the advantage of this, as unlike an external traitor, the internal human one still has the survival of the human as a major interest, so the decisions humans make are wiser because they considered the possibility that they could lose. As a whole, Yeerks find humans to be very frustrating to infest, as humans tend to fight them, if only a near constant barrage of Snark-to-Snark Combat, long after the point where other hosts would have given up. The Yeerk who infested Jake states that Tom knew that it was useless, but still tried to tell him what to do and mocked him like Jake was doing. Chapman's Yeerk had to make concessions to the man because Chapman's will was such that he could overthrow control from time to time, something that other races could not do and Yeerks saw as bad form on the part of the Yeerk. |

In My Hero Academia, Izuku Midorya gains a version of this when he gains the ability to communicate with the previous One for All users in dreams and trance states. At first he can’t talk to them but gains that ability as well. Two users reject him at first but relent at the urging of the first user. It causes trouble when Midoriya manifests Blackwhip the first time. Another student with a brainwashing Quirk tries to brainwash Midoriya to help him regain control and it fails because his Quirk can only brainwash one person at a time while Midoriya had multiple entities in him. | |

One tie-in novel for Star Trek: The Original Series has the Enterprise make contact with a Vulcanoid race capable of housing multiple minds in one body (basically, the katra transfer from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan taken to the next level). One representative from this race has 413 minds inside her, which Kirk notes is almost the crew complement of a Constitution-class starship. | |

Godzilla: Space Amoeba: In the original English dub, the creature Yog says it's a colony of Astro-Quasers. Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle: The AniGoji incarnation of Mechagodzilla is essentially a Grey Goo Mind Hive, assimilating any and all organic creatures that come in contact with it, sentient minds of humans and Bilusaludo included. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), it's implied that Ghidorah's three heads (which each have an independent personality) function this way. While the heads do fight and quarrel at times, Ghidorah never acts erratic or with conflicting movements, and the heads can work disturbingly in-sync with each-other when there's something other than squabbling to occupy them. |

Orion's Arm: This is the proposed explanation for how the minds of transapients work. Also believed to be how sapient minds work, except that only one "node" can operate at a time as opposed to several in even the simplest transapient. In addition, there is polysophonce which operates more like Split Personality disorder. There was also an individual that was thought to be an example of this, composed of thousands of sophonts, usually experts at something. Then it was revealed that: 1. The meta-sophont was really composed of the relevant sections and memories of the original sophont, and 2. the sophonts involved were all kidnapped over a long period of time, although the perpetrator is still at large. |

Kano of Kagerou has this trope in addition to split personalities. A large part of the mystery of his character is trying to keep track of who he is at any given moment and figuring out whether a character in his head is actually a different person trapped there (like Red) or another persona of his (possibly Kid and/or Dark). | |

Most "mobile platforms" contain around a hundred geth and have intelligence limited to their designated task, though they can become more intelligent if additional platforms are nearby with which to network. The platform known as Legion is designed to operate outside geth space and so contains over a thousand programs, enough for autonomous operation and dialog with organic sapients. Legion itself initially didn't have a name for itself as it considers itself part of the Geth consensus — it is EDI who suggests "Legion" as a name by quoting Mark 5:9, which it accepts as an appropriate metaphor. | |

Archons and Dark Archons from StarCraft are the result of the merging of two High Templars or Dark Templars (or, in StarCraft II, one of each). Ulrezaj is an extreme case, the merging of seven Dark Templars. Also, in the Dark Templar Saga novels, Jake (a human) and Zamara (a Protoss "preserver") merge; however, her presence in his mind causes a brain tumor. | |

3rd Edition introduced the playable synad race in the Complete Psionic handbook. Each synad has three fully independent minds fused into a functional whole: an "overmind" that controls the synad's actions most of the time, and two "subminds", a "collective" mind that can tap into the synad's racial memory and an "oracle" mind that can offer Combat Clairvoyance once per day. Besides ensuring that a synad is never alone and can always look at problems from multiple viewpoints, their threefold minds let them more easily resist mental attacks, or "multitask" by spending a power point to have a submind perform a purely mental action as a free action. This quirk affects the synads' appearance — in normal light, they can pass for tall, hairless humans, but in dim lighting, and if a synad has expended all their daily power points, two ghostly visages representing their subminds become visible around a synad's physical head. | |

Those pieces eventually reformed and merged with the city itself, transforming Cognouza into an eternally hungry city of flesh, inhabited by thousands of gibbering, screaming souls begging for death, with the equally insane Somnovem at the helm. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The souls of dead Eldar are placed within their Craftworld's infinity circuit to protect them from being devoured by Slaanesh. There's an in-universe quote describing the Craftworld as "a living being, with a hundred thousand minds". To protect the sanctity of the infinity circuits, the soul stones of Eldar exarchs, warriors who have utterly lost themselves to a life of war and bloodshed, are bound into their armor, to join those of all who wore it before them. Although the mind of the wearer (usually) remains dominant, they can commune with the souls of the previous exarchs and gain their knowledge. Phoenix Lords, the oldest of the exarchs and creators of the Path of the Warrior, are an exception. Their souls are so powerful that the original personality will dominate all others, causing anybody who wears their armor to effectively become a reincarnation of the Phoenix Lord. Depending on which version of Emperor's backstory you subscribe to, he may be this — the most common tale states that he's an amalgamation of all Earth's shamans who put their souls together to form one being. It's unclear, however, if they haven't merged into a singular mind over time. |

Xanadu (Storyverse): A group of dragon dancers, implied to have been named Ben, John, Phil and Ray, are turned into a single Chinese dragon named Behjopiray. The new creature's mind is presented as an amalgam of the four people who were turned into it, and its internal monologue is a set of four distinct commentaries with slightly different personalities — most are largely subsumed into the new draconic persona, but the last one retains more of its human memories. The Lalannas in "Five Hours, Thirty-two Minutes" are a downplayed version, insofar as each body only hosts two minds. They're born as non-sapient larvae, and maturation comes when two merge into a single being with two distinct, mature brains. They resulting "sophantsiblings" remain in constant mental contact with each other through their shared nervous system, and alternate in taking control of their body's eyestalks, ears, tentacles and other extremities at need. |

A downplayed and benign example appears in Atlantis: The Lost Empire with the Heart of Atlantis, which thrives on the collective emotions of all Atlanteans that pass on, providing its people with power, longevity and protection in return. However, as the crystal grew, it eventually began to develop its own consciousness, so when King Kashekim Nedakh attempted to use it as a weapon of war, its power ended up overwhelming Atlantis and leading to its destruction. | |

Dingo Doodles: It is eventually revealed that Sips has two other personalities in his head. One of them is his evil side created by his curse and the other is a crystal embedded in his head, which is a piece of a being named Xanu. This third personality has been helping Sips to hold back the curse personality. The soulprowler is a Draconic Abomination that is composed of many souls that are constantly struggling with each other for dominance. As a result, it is a Mood-Swinger flipping between aggressive and friendly even while in the middle of a sentence. It adds new souls to itself by having people sell their souls to it. |

A random Imperial from the Eldraeverse probably has both a personal assistant AI ("muse") and a fragment of the Eldraeic Transcend Hive Mind ("soul-shard") running in his head alongside his own mind. And since minds are software, this can scale up a long way. | |

Amphibia: In "Olivia & Yunan", it turns out that the Greater-Scope Villain that King Andrias has been reporting to is "The Core", an amalgam of Newtopia's greatest minds who live on in death through uploading their collective consciousness into a mechanical body. Unfortunately, it decided to seek a living host, and it chose Marcy. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, Imperfect Cell evokes this trope to try and trick Android 18 into letting herself be absorbed, by mimicking Android 17's voice and asking her to "join him". 18 very briefly swayed, but very quickly sees through the trick. | |

Sora. There are three, maybe four, other minds in his heart at this point, and the earliest has been there since he was four. It comes to a head in 3D when he starts to learn the truth, and the villains ask where he ends and the others begin. | |

It comes to a head in 3D when he starts to learn the truth, and the villains ask where he ends and the others begin. As of Birth by Sleep, this turns out to also be true of the Xehanort we see in Kingdom Hearts II. He's got Terra, Master Xehanort, and Master Eraqus in his heart. As of Kingdom Hearts III, both of the above have been revoked. Terra and Ventus have their bodies back, Roxas and Xion have new bodies of their own, while Masters Eraqus and Xehanort have passed on. |

Deadpool has been known to house other minds within his own due to unusual circumstances. Agent Preston gets put into this position until they can put her mind into an LMD, while Madcap rode along in Deadpool's head for a while after merging with him, becoming the "second voice" in the Daniel Way run until they were split up again in Deadpool annual #1. | |

Animorphs: The Reckoning: Andalites, being a naturally telepathic species, tend to Go Mad from the Isolation when stranded on a planet without others of their kind. To remedy this, Aximili voluntarily hosts Temrash, a Yeerk, in order to provide the constant social stimulation he requires. In addition to the Living Memory of Elfangor that Ax mentally carries, Temrash itself brings remnants of its previous host — Jake's brother, Tom, and all his catchphrases, personality quirks, and human mannerisms. Marco points out how off-putting the resulting amalgam behaves. | |
