Memoid
A sophont who has been programmed by a higher toposophic to carry a memetic payload and infect a target community or environment.
Unlike Meme Mules, Memoids are conscious of the meme, and have incorporated it into their being. They may often (but not necessarily) take ecclesiastic or other religious or quasi-religious form, seeing their work as a sacred duty. A subclass of memenger
Some variants of Memoid and (in some cases) Meme Mule types
