Hi there,
In light of how stimulating this subject seems to have been, I returned here again and did some considering. After a search, I am happy to highlight some other instances of symbotic entities and similiar such things. Below is a fairly eclectic mix of concepts
.
Firstly, we have a example of the symbiotes conceptual cousin, the bio-suit; a idea in which, as I understand, there is a measure of consciousness and interaction between the entity and the host, though to a lesser extent than the symbiote concept many are familiar with. Though, I believe that the example leans more towards the classical symbiote in basic terms - (also featuring Princess Zelda as the host too)

Next there is a unique, as far as I know, example of Hannya (Japanese female demon) mask posession/symbiosis, possibly -

An interesting idea for costume possession, with elements of cultural transformaton too; essentially a archaeologist to magical harem dancer (with added story and sub-fetish content too)

These last two are vivid and colourful examples of what I assume to be living armour/costumes (seemingly inspired by or a homage to the Witchblade anime)

I hope these provide some food for thought on this issue
