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

My first thought was
homunculi. Though Mechas work just as well.

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.

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 (
