Some Body Snatchers simply have no patience. Maybe they're committing Grand Theft Me, only to find that they're quickly wearing their new bodies out. Maybe no one person they possess has all the skills they need. Maybe they have no idea who's good to take over until they've done so. Maybe they're afraid of being found if they stay in one body too long. Or maybe they're just plain nuts. In any case, when a Body Snatcher is constantly switching from body to body, they are said to Body Surf. Not to be confused with the move of the same name in Prototype, wherein you surf using a body.

If this is done in a closed environment, you get a Ten Little Murder Victims scenario -- only who's the mole changes, making things considerably harder for the heroes. Of course, it's considerably harder for the villain, too, who had better be a really good actor if people aren't going to be able to quickly tell who is Not Himself. But villains typically don't have to worry about such things. Compare Vain Sorceress. May happen when people play hackey sack with a Heart Drive capable of Demonic Possession.
