Line 20:
* Kanan/Shuko/Junrei (collectively known as Honlon) from ''[[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.
* The Three Sisters in the first ''[[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.
* Rouge in ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma One Half½]]'', 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.
* The giant Judge Baskerville in ''[[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]]''. 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.

== Films -- Live-Action ==
* The Three-Headed knight from ''[[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail]]''. They all agree that they want to kill the travelers, but bicker so much about what to do after that... that the knights get away.
* 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.
Line 62:
* Classic B-movie ''The Thing with Two Heads'' plays this seriously. [[Narm|Or at least they try to.]]
* In ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider Man]]'', the four tentacles of Dr. Octopus have a distinct personality from Octavius himself.
* In ''[[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (film)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' [[The Movie]], Zaphod Beeblebrox's second head is retractable and came out from ''under the other head''. It is eventually removed and used for collateral in exchange for the coordinates to Magrathea. Zaphod wasn't pleased, but it was just fine with everyone else, since the head was nasty, abusive, obnoxious and wouldn't be missed. Unfortunately, this greatly reduced his intelligence.
 
 
Line 233:
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|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 1960's Depatie/Freleng cartoons 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.
