Whenever a creature has two (or more) heads and the ability to talk, each head will have its own distinct personality. In more comedic series, the heads will often argue with each other over which course of action to take.
[[Sub-Trope]] of [[Conjoined Twins]]. Sometimes overlaps with [[Belly Mouth]].
{{examples}}
== Advertising ==
* This commercial for Leapfrog's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1stEUq2B6eE Leapster].
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0aeSth7_dw There was a series of commercials] for Kellogg Frosted Mini Wheats which features a living cereal piece with a face on both sides. "Sweet" (the frosted side) was the informal, passionate, rebellious type, while "Wheat" (the unfrosted side) was formal, logical, and pragmatic. Naturally, it was hard for them to agree on anything.
* Ebonwumon of ''[[
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* Kanan/Shuko/Junrei (collectively known as Honlon) from ''[[
▲* Ebonwumon of ''[[Digimon Tamers (Anime)|Digimon Tamers]]'', who has different accents in the dub.
* The Three Sisters in the first ''[[
▲* Kanan/Shuko/Junrei (collectively known as Honlon) from ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors (Manga)|Pet Shop of Horrors]]''. She's (they're?) a three-headed dragon with a different personality for each head. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in the manga's explanation of how dragons are born: the dragon's form and its personality are influenced by the person who cares for its egg, and thanks to unexpected circumstances, Honlon's egg was cared for by three very different people before it hatched.
* Rouge in ''[[Ranma ½
▲* The Three Sisters in the first ''[[Vampire Hunter D (Manga)|Vampire Hunter D]]'' novel and movie has the heads of three beautiful women and the body of some kind of silver dragony thing. The heads argue over which one of them gets to eat D.
* The giant Judge Baskerville in ''[[
▲* Rouge in ''[[Ranma ½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]'', having fallen in the Spring of Drowned Asura, has three faces (all on different sides of the the same head) when she turns into her Goddess form. They bicker endlessly with one another, even yelling at each other to wake up if one of them is knocked out.
* Happens many times in ''[[
▲* The giant Judge Baskerville in ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' resembles the knight from ''Holy Grail'' and has one head that believes in punishment, one head that believes in mercy, and the center head which declares itself the most reasonable, but is really [[Axe Crazy]]. Subverted when it's revealed to be three different people with very odd physiques.
* ''[[
▲* Happens many times in ''[[Franken Fran (Manga)|Franken Fran]]''. In one particular variant, she stitched the salvageable remains of two clones that had just killed each other into one. We are then treated to a wide-headed, three-eyed, three-armed, three-legged human arguing with herself and beating herself up.
* One ''[[
▲* ''[[Inu Yasha (Anime)|Inu Yasha]]'' has the brothers Kinka and Ginka. Members of their species are born with two heads, with the stronger head killing and devouring the other early on to become a unique monster. Unfortunately, Kinka and Ginka have grown to be of equal strength, and spend all of their waking hours fighting each other violently, but to a stalemate. Note that they look more like two [[Snake People]] with their tails hopelessly imbricated rather than conjoined twins.
▲* One ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'' filler anime episode has a two-headed dog-like Hollow who was born from the spirits of two dead dogs. After nearly killing the little girl who owned one of the dogs in its life, one of the head attacked the other.
== Comic Books ==
* Double-Header of the [[Legion of Super
** Doubleheader was also the name of a gangster with two heads in ''Fighting American'' Comics.
** And a member of the new X-Men in ''[[Earth X]]'' named the Two-Headed Man.
* In ''[[Ultimate X-Men]]'', Syndicate is the name for mutant conjoined twin brothers. They have two interlocked heads and three arms. They attempted to rob a bank, but Prof. Xavier stopped them. Afterwards, Xavier hired them to investigate the Hellfire club. Here's a [http://syndicatetwins.tumblr.com fan page.]
* ''[[
** One of the newest members of the Sinestro Corps is a two-headed alien. Both heads are psychotic killers but one likes killing people by ripping their bodies apart, while the other is disgusted by such crude methods and prefers more subtle methods of killing. They fight over who should control the Sinestro Corps power ring after they get it. And later, when the Green Lanterns assigned to tracking down and capturing the Sinestro Corps rings find some of their handiwork, the fact some of the bodies have been torn apart violently while others have been killed by precise controlled blasts hints that they are still fighting over control of the ring.
** There's also Maash, who has three heads (stacked vertically), the topmost being an innocent man and the bottom two both being cruel psychopaths.

** Baxter Frunnt... sort of. He's got one ''head'' so to speak, but it's got two bodies and personalities and faces to control, since his back is the other guy's front.
** In one issue, Suprema encounters a demon with seven heads, each embodying one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]. They don't get on with each other very well.

== Films -- Animation ==
* Devon and Cornwall, the two-headed dragon in the animated film ''[[Quest for Camelot]]''. They/he can't fly unless both heads can agree, which isn't often.
* The Mayor of Halloween Town from ''[[
* Chunk from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)||Toy Story 3]]'' has a face that can flip between a smiling one and a frowning one by pressing a button on top of his head. During most of the movie, Chunk will always show his frowning face to show his affiliation to {{spoiler|Lotso}}, but at the end of the film due to {{spoiler|Lotso}} being removed from the daycare center, Chunk actually now decided to show his smiling face.
* The Vanterviper's heads in ''[[Gallavants]]'' not only bicker, they also sing about their woeful plight.
* [[Good Cop, Bad Cop|Good Cop/Bad Cop]] from ''[[The LEGO Movie]]'' is similar to the Mayor of Halloween Town in that he has two faces, each with its own personality. No points for guessing what they are.
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* The Three-Headed knight from ''[[Monty Python and
* Fodesinbeed Annodue, [[Department of Redundancy Department|the two-headed announcer from]] ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'', though the only clue to the differing personalities is that each head speaks a different language. To be fair, there are two main languages on Tatooine: Galactic Basic and Huttese. Some people can't understand Basic but do understand Huttese, and vice versa. Perhaps that particular announcer was chosen because he could easily and fluently speak both. At the same time.
* Averted with King Ghidorah from the ''[[Godzilla]]'' franchise. His three heads don't seem to have any distinct personalities from one another.

Zassaliss, the oldest of the triplets, took charge and bullied the other two into learning to coordinate with his movements. One really feels sorry for Sesstra, the only female...
* Shows up twice in ''[[A Canticle for Leibowitz]]'', and is an important plot point both times. The two-headed mutant who {{spoiler|kills Brother Francis}} doesn't display two personalities, but conclusively ends the first section. Rachel's evolution in the third section is played as the return of a sinless being to earth, highlighting the book's theme of history being cyclical.

* The ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' game "Three-headed Broadway Star" has three players join together and sing a fictional Broadway song, one word per head. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|This commonly leads to non-sequitur mishaps.]]
* ''[[Lexx]]'': Robot head 790 has himself sewn to the shoulder of a largely mindless cyborg drone, with whose mutterings he grows so annoyed that he punches himself in the other face.

== Music ==
* The eponymous conjoined twins of the [[Fake Band|fictional band]] [[Evelyn Evelyn]] usually get along fine, but their self-titled song "[http://www.evelynevelyn.com/lyrics/evelyn.html Evelyn Evelyn]" explores their disagreements:
{{quote|
''A parasite needs a host.
''I'm only trying to do what is best for us.
''Well, I never asked for this, I never wanted this.
''All that I want is some time to myself.
''Looking in your eyes, I'm coming home.
''Just get away from me, please just stop touching me.
''You're always trying to be somebody else.
''Now I realize I'm not alone.'' }}
* [[Insane Clown Posse]] mention this in the song "Down With The Clown"
{{quote|
''And his name was violent....Ed?
''And he'd headbutt me every time I cussed.
''I would need two microphones when I bust.
''Would you show me love even with another head?
''Or would you be like: 'FUCK YOU AND ED'!
* The admittedly off-kilter narrator of the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhjOpm-KL-A "Twisted"] by Annie Ross (later covered by [[Joni Mitchell]]) dubiously claims this is the case for her in the final lines of the song:
{{quote|''My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
''But I said "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead
''{{'}}Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new
''It proves that I'll have the last laugh on you
''{{'}}Cause instead of one head... I got two
''And you know two heads are better than one."}}
== Newspaper Comics ==
▲* George and Tail, recurring characters from the marginal comic strip of ''Cricket'' magazine, are the independently-sentient head and tail of one earthworm.
== Poetry ==
* As quoted above, the poem "Us" by [[Shel Silverstein]]; something of an extreme example, as the accompanying drawing shows two faces stuck onto the ''same'' head.
== Puppet Shows ==
* The Two-Headed Monster from ''[[Sesame Street]]''. "Mountains!" "Seashore!" or whatever the topic at hand is.
* Tom, Dick, and Harry from ''[[The Muppet Show]]''. They disagree about who's in charge of the... er... group?, what their intended act is, and such. Simply trying to talk to them when they had a problem gave Kermit a headache; when he asked which one of them was the leader, Tom looked to his left (to Dick and Harry), saying "He is." Dick looks to the right, to Tom, saying "He is", and Harry, looking at his right, to Dick, says "She is." Worse, Dick's expression may have indicated Harry was wrong about Dick's gender. Kermit's reaction to this is, [[Deadpan Snarker| "In fact, they've got ''lots'' of problems."]]

* ''[[Dungeons
** Demon Prince Demogorgon, whose heads allegedly have ''competing spy networks'' and who constantly [[Gambit Pileup|scheme]] against each other.
** The five-headed Tiamat is, however, an aversion, as only one consciousness directs all five heads.
** Ettins are a race of two-headed giants. One head (usually the one on the right) is usually the dominant one, so they rarely argue. There was, however, a 3rd Edition adventure that featured a human man who was turned into an ettin, with his mind in the left head and a new evil personality in the right head that was slowly taking control.
** 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.

Line 142:
** Not true for most two-headed ogres. Though there are ''very'' few of those you can actually ''talk'' to, they're mostly just smart guys and might as well only have one head. Draz'zilb even refers to himself as "I".
** Blizzard actually had an April Fools joke about the ogres, claiming that two-headed ogres would be playable in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' as a sort of cooperative character. That is to say, two players each control a head, and both control movement. This being an April Fools joke, they of course emphasized all the features that made this playstyle incredibly inconvenient.

** There's actually one boss whose two heads argue with each other in a ''Burning Crusade'' dungeon. The fact that each head has a separate aggro table frequently makes this an example of [[That One Boss]] for groups that bring a lot of [[Squishy Wizard|squishy]] characters.

** There are also two bosses (Reliquary of Souls in ''Burning Crusade'', and Devourer of Souls in ''Wrath of the Lich King'') that are literally giant floating heads with three faces. They both have different voice actors, abilities, personas and even genders for each face.
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Startopia]]'', the Turrakken race has two heads. When asked if they need anything, often each head will motion differently until they look at each other and agree. Which is probably why they make such good scientists. Each individual has two opinions, which allows for more ideas to be explored.
* ''[[Quest for Glory]]'': Whilst they all agree on the fact they're not going to let the [[The Hero|Hero of Spielburg]], [[Awesome Moment of Crowning|The Prince of Shapeir]], [[The Chosen One|The Saviour of Fricana]], [[I Have Many Names|and that oak that went to Moldavia]], pass, Cerebrus, the guardian of Hades, seem to bicker and bitch about the foodstuffs the other two heads prefer, to the degree that they nearly start fighting with each other.

* There's a two headed shopkeeper in ''[[Simon the Sorcerer]]'' whose heads bicker about where the merchandise should go ("The asparagus jelly belongs with the other jellies!" "I think it belongs with the vegetables!"). Apparently they don't share digestive systems, since one head complains about needing to go to the toilet and the other snaps that he'll just have to restrain himself.

** The Chimera: the dragon head is [[The Ditz|an idiot]], the lion head is a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], while the goat head is quite smart but doesn't control the body and thus is often very frustrated with the other two.
** Though even the Chimera isn't as bad as [http://yafgc.net/
** There is also a small story arc about a couple of ettins having love troubles, since both heads of the female ettin like the same head of the male ettin but not the other. The male ettin ends up asking the Chimera for advice.
* [
* Donna and Diana from ''[[Dungeons and Denizens]]''. Two heads on one hellhound body, hinted to be the result of momma dallying with Cerberus. Distinct to the point of considering each other sisters... and romantic rivals for the attentions of the same orc (who wisely does his best to avoid them).
* DJ Tonja in ''Muertitos'' doesn't so much have two heads as a second mouth on the back of her head, but the second mouth has its own personality, and often argues with the front face.

When DW and his family meet the extended family at their villa, one of the heads wants to eat them, but the other objects, [[Sacred Hospitality| saying it would be rude to eat guests]]. Unfortunately for Darkwing, [[Wicked Witch| Morgana's grandma]] sides with the first one.
* ''[[Sabrina and The Groovie Goolies]]'' also has a character with two heads.
* Zak and Wheezie from ''[[Dragon Tales]]'' take this trope a little further than most: not only do they have different characters, they have different ''genders''. It's a show for very little kids, so don't expect any of the inevitable (and potential [[Nightmare Fuel]] filled) [[Fridge Logic]] to be addressed. When one (or both) of them wants to start dating, double-dating will be not only an option, but a ''necessity''. This is ignoring issues of masturbation, as well. Unsurprisingly, [[Rule 34]] has already explored that last item...

** 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

▲** 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.

[[Played for Laughs]] in that all three of its heads are nasty, savage, ravenous beasts who will gladly tear a foe to shreds, but the center head will at least send a "get well" card later - Betrayus himself learns this the hard way after [[Too Dumb To Live|trying to take its bone]] lands him in the hospital.
== Real Life ==
* [[Truth in Television]] with dicephalic conjoined twins [[w:Abby and Brittany Hensel|Abigail and Brittany Hensel]], who share one body and so present the appearance of one two-headed person. Only three prior sets of dicephalic twins living to adulthood have been recorded in all human history. However, unlike the Hollywood version each only has control and feeling of her own half of their combined body. Unlike the various "bickering heads" (including the reptiles below), though, they seem to be very well-coordinated and aren't known to argue excessively. When getting their drivers license, they had to take the test twice. They may be conjoined but are two individual, if not exactly separate, people. It does make one wonder what would have happened if only one had passed the test.
* Two-headed turtles: they will fight their other heads over food, and they're uncoordinated.
* Two-headed snakes too. Like the two-headed turtles, they will also not slither very well, and they'll fight over food and have been known to try to eat each other.
