[Disturbing trope] They’re fully conscious when their body’s being controlled…

1. Headcrab Zombies (Half-Life franchise) When a headcrab latches on a person’s head, it hijacks the host’s body while leaving it fully aware of the pain inflicted upon them but only able to beg for futile help. 2. Nikki (Obsession) After Bear, the film’s protagonist, makes a wish that his crush, Nikki, “loved him more than anyone in the world,” Nikki’s body is overtaken by a sadistic, “yandere-like” personality, >!where the real Nikki can only express her true thoughts and feelings when the second personality is unconscious.!< 3. The Night Rose (Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1) On the surface, the Night Rose appears to be a run-of-the-mill villain of the season. However, a closer look at her in game cosmetic set and boss (along with her “voice lines” during said boss battle) reveals that she is actually a poor woman controlling by the Dark Presence, the overarching villain of the chapter. Luckily, the Night Rose is freed from her captor at the end of the season and has since become a “redeemed” character on the heros’ side, recently even receiving a “Rebloomed” reskin this season. 4. >!Watchman of Doom!< (Skibidi Toilet) >!At the end of episode 77, Titan TV Man is captured by the Astro Toilets, a race of conquering alien cyborgs, and fitted with a machine that hijacks his core (primary energy source thing), turning him into a robotic slave that can only beg for the Union’s forgiveness as he massacres the Cameramen base.!< 5. Infected Titan Speakerman (Skibidi Toilet) From episode 32->!57!<, Titan Speakerman is infected with a parasitic Skibidi Toilet that makes him turn on his allies. When he is disinfected, he immediately goes on a toilet-killing rampage, implying that he “witnessed” or at least aware of the atrocities the toilets made him commit and is taking his revenge as a result. 6. “Monkey needs a hug” plush (Black Mirror) When a woman dies, her consciousness is uploaded into a monkey plush toy, forced to see her husband remarry and give her to his child but only able to communicate via two equally useless “speech options” 7. >!Minos Prime!< (Ultrakill) >!After Gabriel slays the King of Lust and former Judge of Hell, King Minos’ willpower is strong enough to manifest himself into a “Prime Soul” (essentially a demigod ghost), where he was immediately trapped in a Flesh Prison, forced to watch the parasite-puppeteered corpse destroy the city he lovingly built.!<
