** 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.

** In ''[[Warcraft]] 2'' the heads would argue with each other if you kept clicking on them ("This way!" "No, this way!"). When they are upgraded to Ogre Magi, they start talking in unison, get their crap together, and learn magic powers.

* 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.
