In The Last of Us, which is based on the eponymous video game, a Cordyceps fungus variant allegedly attacks humans and hijacks the mind, controlling a person until they are completely devoured from within.
This concept was actually inspired by a real-life David Attenborough documentary of a fungus taking over ants and controlling them.
