Well this one is a fangus yeah even fangus mastered mind control, when an ant (the camponotini tribe ants according to wikipidea ) inhiles it's spore that the start of her end as it will directly start controlling the ant making it abondone it's colonie and start searching the perfect place for fangus growth. However, that's not all, he will also consumes it from the inside without killing her which means that the ant is alive during everything is happening, after finding the right spot the fangus then makes the ant solidifies it self there. Now after having found the right spot and got nutritions from the ant he will release his fruiting body of course from the head of the ant repturing it and killing the ant then start releasing his spore and control more ants.
