They don't care about who they fuse with or how ready the body is to adjust to them-- all they care about is getting a host, and they'll tear through any number of people before they can land a successful one.

* EvilCounterpart: It seems like the Gladius type aliens are this to the Borgs. Like the Borgs, Gladius types are worn on their host's head and fight for them, letting out projectiles from their mouths. Unlike the Borgs, they don't form a codependent relationship with their hosts, don't talk at all, and ''make'' their hosts want to use them again due to wearing them producing a chemical that induces addiction.
