Hive Mind: Difference between revisions

* The [[Bug War]] novels ''[[Starfire|In Death Ground]]'' and ''The Shiva Option'' have aliens which are telepathically linked. The latter novel's titular Option involves literally rendering lifeless all planets on which the Bugs have established bases, in order to both exterminate the beachhead and disorient the survivors.

** Also in ''[[Discworld]]'', Granny Weatherwax is able to "[[Mind Control|borrow]]" animals, and at one point she does this to an entire beehive.

** He also inverts the idea with Miss Pointer/Mrs. Pickles in Thud. [[Mind Hive|Two people living in one body]].

** Not to mention [[Magical Computer|Hex]], which is a ''literal'' hive mind.

* [[Akinator]] is sort of a real-life example of this—he's a program who knows, in intricate detail, tens, if not hundreds of thousands of characters both real and fictional, assembled from the contributions of millions of players worldwide.

* In ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold]]'' (specifically "Revenge of the Reach"), the Green Lantern Corps is attacked by an alien enemy called the Reach. Judging by their simultaneous dialogue and referencing themselves as "The Collective", they must have some form of hive mind.

* ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' - In the episode "Ghost Town", Ben Ten is forced to team up with his arch nemesis, Vilgax, to battle one of his rogue alien forms, Ghost Freak. Vilgax released Ghost Freak from prison on the condition he defeat Ben, but Ghost Freak betrays him and possesses his planet, Vilgaxia. The planet's citizens are turned into Ghost Freak's minions (who look like his original less hideous, unmasked form in the first Ben Ten series) dominated by a hive mind.
