Here's another icky one:
I can't even remember what supplement I got this from....but it was years ago.
There was a creature called a Blood Pudding that was a pseudo-failed attempt at becoming a lich.
Basically, you have your high level evil guy who wants to cross the line into lichhood. He thinks he has the correct ritual, but unbeknownst to him, he's off by just a liiiittle bit.
As a result, he transforms himself into a gelatinous puddle of scarlet goo.
Luckily this is not the end of the line for him. He finds that he can take over like-minded hosts (the closer the alignment to his, the easier it is to possess) by parasitically invading their bodies.
He's not as powerful as a lich, but he's up there.
I ran it with a necromancer named Vurmulaag who kept popping around from body to body...it took about 3 battles for the PC's to realize that the reddish goo oozing from the body wasn't just blood, then a couple more battles for them to destroy the actual Blood Pudding.
In the process he took over a couple of their allies, one PC's mother, a small child, and at the end, in an act of desperation, a horse.
