Reminds me of a ghoul from Delta Green. I've been playing it (it's a tabletop RPG) with friends and the ghouls, although they don't look like that, act pretty much like that.
They can shapeshift too.

One detail I forgot to mention is that I have some sort of mesmerism power based on eye contact in the dreams.

But it's not like the traditional ones. I don't know how to describe it other than when used it's like hollowing then out and turning someone into a marionette. I can't access their memories or anything but can move their body around and speak through them.

Creepy. Likely something you currently feel overwhelmed about?


First ghoul I met in the tabletop campaign was, after investigating the sudden disappearances of bodies from a nearby morgue, I ended up tracing their trail back to a ranch. Once I got there I found some girl chained in the barn (my character is a FBI agent) - once I got her out I took her a few hundred meters away from the ranch and by the time I looked back to see if she was still following me she had turned into this large clawed dog-like being. Apparently ghouls in the game's lore are a sort of 'soul' vampire? They need to eat bodies to survive and they keep 'absorbing' the personalities and forms of the bodies they eat. The girl I found had already been victimized and was actually her killer in her shape I guess, 'she' just didn't know it yet. I think they take a while to make sense of their new shapes/absorb the new consciousness.
