Today's tropes is the Body Surf
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodySurf

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. Maybe their preferences for a pleasurable existence tend heavily towards being Allergic to Routine. 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.
