History Main / MeatPuppet

* The alternate definition mentioned above, the "internet entourage," is a fairly common sight in some places, as anyone who [[TemptingFate posts a rant about]], say, JustinBieber will [[InternetBackdraft very much find out]].

** [[CthulhusTux Cthulhu's Tux]] - Cthulhu (or Satan)'s gotten inside you, he's gonna wear you, and you're gonna bring hell onto the land whether you like it or not.

-->- '''Jov Leonov,''' ''[[PsiOpsTheMindgateConspiracy Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy]]''

* ''[[PsiOpsTheMindgateConspiracy Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy]]'' refers to mind controlled soldiers (under the terrorist group: The Movement) as Meat Puppets, and is the trope namer in this case.

* The [[FaceHugger Krana]] in ''{{Bionicle}}'' can control a being once attatched to his or her face. If they possess a [[LittlePeople Matoran]], it's a straight example of the trope, since Matoran lapse into unconciousness when separated from their MaskOfPower. However, if they possess a Toa, there will be a struggle for control between Krana and host. IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight ensues.

* In ''MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', [[spoiler: after defeating [[BigBad Cackletta]], her defeated spirit takes over the beaten-up body of Bowser and becomes... Bowletta.]]

* This is the implied case with Millennia from ''[[{{Deception}} Kagero: Deception II]]''. She never speaks in cutscenes aside from nodding or shaking her head, but exactly ''how much'' control the Timemoids are exhibiting over her is up to the player via DialogueTrees.

An entirely alternate meaning refers to TheInternet and NewMedia culture in social media: an online "entourage" or crowd of [[YesMan Yes People]] surrounding a particular internet user and/or a "personal army" of internet users recruited to attack or defend someone in a FlameWar or flare of InternetBackdraft, or to [[TheShill promote them or their product.]] This is connected to AstroTurf except that AstroTurf is usually for a politician or product or company, while a MeatPuppet can appear anywhere (and are often ''why'' a debate escalates to FlameWar, InternetBackdraft, or appearing on Fandom Wank levels.) These are usually called MeatPuppet as opposed to SockPuppet, because they *are* actually separate people, unlike a SockPuppet, which is a different user identity (or collection of them) created by the same person.

* WillingChanneler - a Host who "wants" to be controlled, or at least isn't against having his/her body used by someone (or something) else.

* ''GhostTrick'': [[spoiler: Youmiel can possess and manipulate living creatures the way Sissel manipulates inanimate objects. Aside from his cat the hosts are either unknowing or unwilling, but he can also possess the EmptyShell of his own corpse.]]

* In ''{{Fite}}!'', [[spoiler:the Mutali turns out to be just puppets of Skerry.]]
