Description

An object resembling an animal or person that can be manipulated by a puppeteer to perform movements. Traditionally, this is done through strings attached to the puppet's articulated joints and body parts, allowing the puppeteer to control the puppet by manipulating the strings. However, simpler puppets, such as sock puppets, also exist.

Puppets are common imagery for manipulation, whether literal or metaphorical. Depictions of mind control and body control sometimes feature the controller manipulating the victim's body like a puppet.
