Line 20:
* 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.
* 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.
* Rouge in ''[[Ranma
* 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.
Line 68:
* ''[[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy (Literature)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]''
** Zaphod Beeblebrox fluctuates between being one and two people, according to the [[Rule of Funny]]. He operates as a unit most of the time, and only talks to himself when it's plot-appropriate. However, he can get hit on one head and knocked out, only for the other head to say, "What was that noise?"
** In ''[[The
* Runespoors, a species of magic snake from the ''[[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry Potter]]'' background book ''[[Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (Literature)|Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them]]''. Each of the three heads has a different personality. The left head is the planner, the center head is the dreamer, and the right head is always a [[Caustic Critic]], so the middle and left heads often team up to bite it off.
* The Brothers John from ''[[Abarat (Literature)|Abarat]]''. And yes, one of them is a [[Jerkass]] who always bickers with the others. {{spoiler|[[Clive Barker]] has stated that he intends to give them similarly conjoined love interests in a later volume.}}
Line 158:
* 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 ''[[
* 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.
Line 204:
* Triple Threat from ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward]]'' is a wrestler/thief with three different heads. One of them is violent, the other calculating, and the third is a [[Cloudcuckoolander]].
* ''[[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
* ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" has Fry's head sewn onto Amy's shoulder.
* Charles and Mambo on ''[[Duckman]]''.
Line 216:
** 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 (Literature)|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
* Frank and Len from ''[[Ruby Gloom]]'' are a two-headed rock musician. Frank is smarter than Len, though not much.
* On ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (Animation)|The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', Grim's three-headed dog doesn't talk, but his heads (two husky-types and one poodle) don't always act the same. Two of his heads were immediately attracted to Mindy's chihuahua Little Delicious, and exchanged glances of dismay when they realized the middle head was growling at her.
Line 231:
{{quote| '''Mary:''' [[Mind Screw|So is your head on my body or is my head on your body?]]}}
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Well, the body has a moon on it, so Susan's is on Mary's.]]
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|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.
