Atlach-Nacha sends out spider-like creatures which can take over the mind of others.
In the RPG...
I almost missed this monster (and the Splinter of Daoloth) because they were in the deities volume instead of the monsters one, so I'm adding them in now.
The Spider Parasites have human-ranged stats, except for the fact that they have 5 SIZ—as big as a Rat-thing or a Shan. Their purpose is to take over the mind of people, granting Atlach-Nacha complete control over them. As usual, this is done with an opposed POW roll. An average person only has a 27% chance of resisting, unless it is performed when they're sleeping, in which case it has automatic success. It will only give up control if killed or choosing to vacate.
In a video game...
As with all the other mind-controlling monsters, they would be better utilized for narrative purposes by controlling NPCs, rather than the player.
In a film...
I think the Spiders would work fine in a movie, though they would behave much like many others in the past. Because they control by mere touch rather than invading the victim's body, they would by visible, which makes me think of something along the lines of The Puppet Masters, rather than, say, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
