>>29992694It's made very clear that what Nihilego does isn't mind control.
>It injects the host with a sort of neurotoxin to achieve this effect. This neurotoxin of Nihilego's is incredibly stimulating and inspires feelings of extreme excitement and a lack of inhibition in its host. In other words, anything or anyone that a Nihilego latches on to will have its native skills forcibly activated to their fullest extent and will then act as it naturally desires to.Plus, it doesn't even have a will of it's own. Its name is basically "no will". The toxin is more like a defense mechanism.
