    I’m no fun-guy, but I don’t think it works that way. When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels. I imagine a zombie fungus driving an ant is akin to a person riding a Silt Strider in Morrowind—a body horror vehicular experience.

      I assume not even that. Doesn’t the fungus just compel an ant to climb up high? The fungus doesn’t experience anything beyond what it normally does and the ant just gets a craving for going up.
