** In the template-heavy days of 3.5, there was "Multiheaded Creature", although it did put a reasonable limit on how many heads were added.
** Subverted with Geryon in 4th Edition. He has three heads, with one being thoughtful and conniving, one being angry and cruel, and one being manic and gleeful. However, they actually share one mind, never argue with each other, and normally only one will talk at a time, with the dominant head being determined by his emotional state.
** Hydras are another Aversion; while it can have up to 9 heads, it has one brain, in its torso, manipulating the multiple heads more like other beasts would use limbs.
* [[All Trolls Are Different|Jotund trolls]] in ''[[Pathfinder]]'' have ''nine'' heads which invariably all bicker with each other (usually about who gets to actually taste their prey).
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' has the first Chaos dragon, a good dragon that was corrupted by Chaos and grew a second head. His original personality is still in there somewhere and may attack the bad head during the battle.

* Two-Badd of ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' fame. In
* ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters]]'' has the similar Fib-Face. His two faces were attached to one head 90 degrees from each other, and one can never be sure which head's telling the truth and which one's lying. Again, the only way to defeat him is to get the two heads arguing.
* One of the ''[[Popeye (comic strip)|Popeye]]'' two-reelers, ''[[Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor]]'', includes a two-headed giant.
Line 204 ⟶ 205:
* ''[[Futurama]]'' "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" has Fry's head sewn onto Amy's shoulder.
* Charles and Mambo on ''[[Duckman]]''.
* ''[[Transformers]]'':
** The version of Blitzwing from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' has three faces for each of his three personalities, which occasionally argue with each other. Like some other examples on this page, he's got one head with multiple faces, though only one face is ever visible at a time.
** And Alpha Q from ''[[Transformers Energon]]'' has ''four'' faces. It's implied that he wasn't always so schizoid, but developed the multiple personalities out of loneliness when he was trapped inside Unicron.
*** Based on the Quintessons from G1, who all had five faces. Alpha Q's full name, Alpha Quintesson, is only heard once. However, he does only have four faces. However, his mask is always closed when his fifth personality, considered his 'true face' despite no physical face representing it (we see the inner sphere turn 360° more than once; there ''isn't'' a fifth face) Alpha Q's real self speaks in the [[Voice
** Another humorous example would be an extra from ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'', season 3. One of the patients on the therapy planet Torkulon has three heads... who keeps saying "I have no head... I have no head... I have no head..." Definitely [[Incredibly Lame Pun|a head-case]].
** Doublecross, Hun-Gurrr, and Sinnertwin
** Magmatron from ''[[Beast Wars Neo]]'' - no relation to any version of Megatron - has three heads. One is in the usual spot, and he's got one on each shoulder. He has the ability [[The Dividual|to separate into three autonomous units
▲** Magmatron from [[Beast Wars Neo]] - no relation to any version of Megatron - has three heads. One is in the usual spot, and he's got one on each shoulder. He has the ability to separate into three autonomous units, but he is definitely one person.
* This is averted in the [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[The Neverending Story (novel)|The Neverending Story]]'', where a three-headed character never has more than one head "awake" at a time. In the book, it was four.
* [[Hanna-Barbera]]'s 1960s version of ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' has a caterpillar with a head at each end, who just happened to look (and sound) like [[The Flintstones|Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble]].
* Frank and Len from ''[[Ruby Gloom]]'' are a two-headed rock musician. Frank is smarter than Len, though not much.
*
* In an episode of ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', Jackie
* ''[[Planet Sheen]]'' has the two-faced Princess Oom. One face is a bubbly cheerleader type and the other is an intense seductress. Both are in love with Sheen.
* Agatha and Emily, the two-headed vulture from the [[Bugs Bunny]] cartoon ''Transylvania 6-500''. She gets along quite well with herself. Also {{spoiler|Count Blood Count, after Bugs transforms him into a male two-headed vulture. Agatha and Emily are delighted and chase him off into the night.}}
* Red Mantle and Dragoon from ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''. A recently-joined pair (forced when Dragoon was dying after a tussle with [[Touch of Death|Phantom Limb]]) who argue constantly over which of them is actually in charge. Thus far, Dragoon has taken over the left side.
* One ''[[Underdog (animation)|Underdog]]'' short has him facing a two-headed dragon which would stop to shake hands with itself chanting "Teamwork, teamwork, that's what counts!" Of course, they quickly make the hero ''angry''
{{quote|'''Underdog:''' [[Let's Get Dangerous|"I've had enough of ''both'' of you!"]]}}
* On ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', a two-headed man is one of the many citizens of Miseryville. [[The Legions of Hell|He does not look out of place]].
* The ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "Road to the Multiverse" features a universe where everyone has two heads: one happy, one sad.
{{quote|'''Happy!Tom:''' The President's dog just had puppies!
'''Sad!Tom:''' But there was a plane crash. }}
* In the ''[[Johnny Test]]'' episode "Li'l Johnny", Johnny runs into Susan and Mary's lab to find them as two heads on one body. Their
{{quote|'''Mary:''' [[Mind Screw|So is your head on my body or is my head on your body?]]}}
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen" sees the girls getting attacked by a four-headed hydra. Amusingly enough, one of the heads appears to be a little slow on the uptake; the other three heads roar in unison, for example, but the fourth one doesn't join in until it realizes what the other heads are doing.
* A character named Cindy was this in ''[[Lloyd in Space]]''. One head was nice and attractive; the other, mean and ugly. Lloyd only wanted to date the nice one; the girls weren't having it.
* The 1960s Depatie/Freleng cartoons{{context}} had a 3-headed character(s) named the Matzoriley brothers. Unfortunate ethnic stereotypes in triplicate, alleviated mildly by the fact they kept trying to beat up one another.
* Rhombulus from ''[[Star vs. the Forces of Evil]]'' has snake hands. In the episode Crystal Clear, we find out they are sentient and can talk. {{spoiler|They are more responsible than he is}}
