* 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.
* A four-headed, multi-limbed creature formed from the remains of four teenage boys is sent to kill John Constantine in one issue of ''[[
* Hindrance and Perfidia from ''Meat Cake'' comics. Although it's not sure if they're siamese twins... They argue constantly, though.

* 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|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.
Line 56:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* The Three-Headed knight from ''[[
* 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.

* The Pierson's Puppeteers in Larry Niven's ''Known Space'' universe both play this straight and subvert it in that they have two heads, but the brain is in the central body.
* The brothers in ''First Person Plural'' by Andrew Beierle are dicephalus conjoined twins (two heads, one body). One brother is gay and the other is straight.
* The ''[[Doctor Dolittle]]'' series features the Pushme Pullyu, a two-headed antelope.

* Zassaliss, Harssacss, and Sesstra of the ''[[Redwall]]'' book ''Triss'' weren't born conjoined, but a mace and chain thrown by the fighter who killed their mother bound their bodies together when they were little. Since they're snakes and therefore have no hands with which to untie it, they're permanently stuck. 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.
* In ''[[

* In the fairy tale episode of ''[[
* In a dream sequence in ''[[I Love Lucy]]'', Lucy imagines her neighbors Fred and Ethel as a bickering two-headed dragon.
* 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.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 E04 The Time of Angels|The Time of Angels]]", the Doctor tells an anecdote about a planet of two-headed people.

** 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 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.

* The final boss of the flash game ''[http://armorgames.com/play/5003/arcuz Arcuz]'' is a two-headed giant who is/are ''elder brother and younger brother''.
* In the game ''[[Eric the Unready]]'', the title character has to get a two-headed oaf arguing with itself at one point to continue.
* There is a two-headed talking horse (aptly named Pushme Pullyu) in ''[[Ultima VI]]''. It resides in Blackthorn's Castle. This is a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Doctor Dolittle]]''
* In ''[[Dragon's Lair
* The Ettin in ''[[Stonekeep]]'' has two heads with very distinct personalities.
* ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]'' has Heat's avatar Agni and Argilla's avatar Prithivi (which are located on the breasts). Heat also gives us this great line.

* ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' has Hewdraw, a three headed dragon, and Twinbellows, a two headed [[Hell Hound]].
* Near the end of ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]'' the three protagonists appear to get turned into a three-headed hybrid by a [[Teleporter Accident|time machine accident]]. {{spoiler|It later turns out they had simply gotten stuck inside one set of clothes.}}
* 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 Trigak from ''[[
* ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]''
** 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.

* Minerva the [[Hell Hound|Cerberus]] in ''[[Spinnerette]]'' has three heads, each one with its own look and personality. The left head is the cute one, the right head is the brash, fiesty one, and the middle head is the mature, moderate one. Interestingly, rather than being presented as three individuals sharing one body, it's more like Minerva is a single person who's thoughts are the same for all three heads, just filtered through different personality traits.
** Though we see her heads talking to one another a few times in the book-only [http://krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2012/01/09/01092012/ Issue #9].

* Not only does the title character of ''[[Cat Dog]]'' have two heads, one's a dog and the other is a cat... and they're on opposite ends of the body. Although, they're just [[Conjoined Twins]], not two heads on one creature.
* The Son of the Chicken from Outer Space from ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'' has three heads. One head is nerdy and has glasses, one head is an angry jerk, and the center head is an idiot with his tongue hanging out. The outer heads have complete control over their respective arm and they often punch each other while arguing.
* Triple Threat from ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003
* ''[[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 Of The Multitude]] - Alpha Q is eventually revealed as the combined consciousness of everyone lost in his planet's destruction.
** Another humorous example would be an extra from ''[[Transformers Generation
** Doublecross, Hun-Gurrr, and Sinnertwin, who transform into twin-headed dragons, each suffer from split personalities, a condition which is (naturally) exacerbated in their beast modes. Sinnertwin even has two voice actors.
*** Though technically, they're all three-headed. Sadly, we don't get a third VA for the robot mode head. Just as well, because Sinnertriplet doesn't make nearly as cool a name.
** 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 (
* [[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]].
