TV tropes should have been my first source! Good call.

My first thought was homunculi. Though Mechas work just as well.
He who knows others is clever;
He who knows himself has discernment.
He who overcomes others has force;
He who overcomes himself is strong. 33:1-4

The homunculi don't control the thing they're in, though, right?

I went to that link and was amazed by how much someone can know about such a niche-y subject (and THEN how much time they took to compile it all.)

Wow.

Wow.
Assuming you mean the TV Tropes link, yeah, that place is amazing. It's even more fun to "adopt" a film or TV show and try to flesh out the tropes listed. (Well, depending on your definition of "fun.")

when I first saw this I thought of the anime Hare+Guu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Har%C3%A9%2BGuu), where Guu eats things and they live inside her. But it's something different!
