* ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'': [[spoiler:This turns out to be how the Dark Lord came to be following the battle in his castle. He was once an ordinary human man, but an evil whisp-like being called the Dark Curse took over his body and turned him into a vengeful monster stealing faces of unsuspecting victims to gain power. The same almost happens to the hero, but the Great Sage protects them and takes the blow, turning them into the Darker Lord which becomes the final villain for the game.]]

* In ''Literature/AscendanceOfABookworm'', 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 last book of ''Literature/TheBartimaeusTrilogy'' [[spoiler: 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.]]

* "Literature/ThroughTheGatesOfTheSilverKey": An unusual variant. In''Literature/TheTraitorSonCycle'', the second half of the story, Randolph's mind is cast back into the past and into the body of an alien, resulting in a case of an otherworldly entity being possessed by a human. Zkauba otherwise responds as expected, as he perceives his new "passenger" as a hideous mental parasite and works desperately to exorcise himself of it while Randolph's own mind struggles equally hard to take full control of their body and use it to return home.
