Line 3:
Hair, [[Good Hair, Evil Hair|that infallible representation of a person's moral compass.]] In an effort to shape the world of fiction into something more logical than [[World of Chaos|the unpredictable]] [[Real Life|real world,]] authors have long given their characters physical traits that provide artful hints about where said character stands on the good-evil spectrum. Triangular shapes are the preferred way of telling the audience that a character is one bad dude or chick, but few are more unsubtle and in-your-face than a threatening hairstyle. And as far as ''that'' goes, you can't get much more direct than likening them to [[The Devil|Old Scratch]] himself. A [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|hairstyle shaped like horns]] is almost always a surefire sign of a heart as black as soot.
Not to be confused with a joke seen in cartoons in which a character's hair (feathers, if it's an avian character like [[Donald Duck]]) come together briefly into little devil horns whenever they have a truly malicious idea.
{{examples

* The [[Pointy
Line 75:
* ''[[Final Fantasy (Franchise)|Final Fantasy]]''
** Ultimecia from ''[[Final Fantasy VIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VIII]]'' and ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (Video Game)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''.
** Possibly also The Emperor from ''[[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]]'', although some of them might be actual horns. Maybe. [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?|He was designed by Yoshitaka Amano in the eighties, it can be hard to tell.]]
** Mewt Randell from ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'', when he gets to be the [[Royal Brat]] in Ivalice.
* Juri Han from ''[[Street Fighter (Franchise)|Super Street Fighter IV]]'', fits since she's a [[Evil Is Sexy|sultry]] [[Hollywood Cyborg|cyborg]] assassin working for [[Big Bad]] Seth.
Line 82:
* [[Catherine (Video Game)|Catherine]] and her really weird [[Mega Twintails]] that just add to her mystery. {{spoiler|For good reason too, as she's a literal [[Horny Devil]].}}
* Viola from ''[[Eternal Sonata (Video Game)|Eternal Sonata]]''.
* Batreaux from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' has these once he's transformed from a demon into a human. Its actually so hornlike that it takes a bit for the player to realize that's hair, not horn.
