Tokyo Mew Mew
are blob-shaped parasitic aliens used to infect animals and change them into monsters. The Mew Mews' attacks force the parasites out of the host bodies, after which the host returns to normal and Masha retrieves the parasite by "eating" it. Although "Tokyo Mew Mew" does not provide any details about the chimera anima after the aliens leaves, "Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode" reveals that some were left behind, and are being used by the Saint Rose Crusaders as an aid in their plans for world domination.
