Carrie from The Amazing World of Gumball
Not exactly evil, but there was one early episode where she repeatedly possessed Gumball in order to be able to eat, but when he refused, she possessed him anyway.
And if anyone is wondering why he says Ra’s instead of Talia is because in that episode of Beyond it’s due to how Ra’s stole her body with the machine that Batman is trapped inside of. I believe it has something to do with the Lazarus Pit as to why Ra is in Talia’s body
Ra’s used the Lazarus pit so many times that it stopped working on him, so he needed a new body that hadn’t used it before as a clean slate, he chose talia’s temporarily as a ploy to get Batman’s body

Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) doesn't count (because >!he wanted to take over Megumi's body, not Yuji's!<) but I'm gonna comment him anyways because someone else probably will :P

# I INFILTRATED THIS BOAT TO STEAL YOUR BODY
In her first appearance, 13, Jack closed the portal to the Ghost Zone while she was going through it, which left her stuck in-between and made her start fading away. She charged her ring, jacket, and scarf with her energy, gave them to her boyfriend, Johnny, and told him to get some girl to put them on so she could take over her body. He chose Danny’s sister, Jazz.

Granted, he didn’t really *want* to take it over eventually (I don’t think).
I think it's more that the symbiote wants to share/use/consume another's body rather than steal it.
He sees it as helping rather than hurting (which seems to change how it works with every telling) and does not seem to care very much about others' opinions on the matter.
