* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': The Jinchūriki are people who have tailed demons sealed inside them. They include the title character, Naruto, Gaara of the Desert, and Killer Bee (who contain the Nine-Tailed Fox, the One-Tailed Tanuki, and the Eight-Tailed Ox, respectively). Removing the tailed beast typically kills the host within minutes after the fact, and if the host dies with the beast still sealed inside it then it can take the beast some time to reform. As a result, the beasts grant their hosts supernatural power both to avoid pseudo-death and to weaken the seal. It's worth noting that being sealed in a human makes them ''more'' dangerous. Most Bijuu (Tailed Beast(s)) simply avoid humans and, due to their size and power, have little need for strategy. Jinchūriki can access their power and utilize years of training to focus it more effectively. Though, as the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails have shown, they're quite capable of ''learning'' to use tactics. [[spoiler:And of acting like tag-team partners with their Jinchūriki.]]
* Ayanami Rei from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is claimed (by one character) to be carrying the soul of an EldritchAbomination inside her. Her superpowers are similar to those of the species to which said eldritch abomination belongs, so it's probably true.

* In ''Film/{{Malignant}}'', [[spoiler:it's revealed that [[BigBad Gabriel]] was originally a parasitic twin who shared a brain with his sister Emily. He developed strange psychic and electrokinetic powers, and not only that, but he could also alter Emily's perception of reality on demand. Eventually, Gabriel grew so powerful that doctors made the decision to remove as much of him from Emily as possible, ultimately sealing him inside his own sister's skull [[AndIMustScream alive and conscious for decades.]], though he could still take control over her on occasion.]]
