This is a Costume Trope (and specifically, a subtrope of Cool Crown) where someone with authority wears a crown or helmet made of (or made to resemble) an animal's horns. Typically the character is a royal, although warlords are fans of this fashion statement too, creating fearsome and garish horned helmets. This is often an in-universe Invoked Trope, with characters trying to look similar to The Marvelous Deer, a Horned Humanoid or even a Beast Man. Just as often the horned animal in question is associated with authority or rulership by the wearer. As the page pic shows stags are often used, although bulls come a close second and basically any horned animal or mythical beast is fair game. That said, demon-styled horns are a pretty big clue that the wearer is evil. Often there's an aversion where the horns are used as a sign of cuckoldry, which is traditionally represented by "putting the horns" on a man, or even literally growing horns in some plays. Compare Horny Vikings. Contrast Sinister Deer Skull, where the antlers have a malevolent connotation instead. Not to be confused with a "crown of thorns." |

Warcraft: The Horde's first Warchief, Blackhand the Destroyer, wore an antlered helmet. There are a number of head armor pieces adorned with antlers that players can obtain, such as the Headdress of the Verdant Circle. Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos: Arthas' father the King of Lordaeron had a crown that was adorned with (probably) dragon's teeth to resemble as horns. Kind of counts. |

The Crown of Horns in the Forgotten Realms setting. An artifact from the ancient magocracy of Netheril that was enchanted by then-god of death Myrkul, it consists of a silver circlet ringed by four bone horns. A thorough Artifact of Doom, as it holds what's left of Myrkul following his death in the Time of Troubles and tends to drive the wearer to evil (or insane in Laeral Silverhand's case). | |

In his late '80s/early '90s run of the Demon, Etrigan was one of several characters who fought over the rulership of Hell, which was represented by a Crown of Horns. Unlike the other examples, it most assuredly was named for the the Crown of Thorns, although similarities end there. | |

In Game of Thrones, House Baratheon is the royal house at the time the series begins. Baratheon kings tend to wear crowns referencing the stag of their heraldry (except Stannis, who is notably crownless). Examples include Robert, Joffrey (whose crown has stylized stag antlers), Renly (pictured, with his fancy golden crown shaped like antlers, arguably the most striking piece of headwear in the series) and Tommen. Tommen's crown of stylized stag antlers looks virtually identical to his brother's. It may even be Joffrey's, but modified to fit his head. After the death of his eldest brother Robert, Renly declares himself the rightful king, ahead of his "nephew" Joffrey and older brother Stannis. Renly's antler crown is a valuable means to create an image of legitimacy. It was chosen as one of The Coolest Helmets, Hats and Headpieces in Science Fiction and Fantasy by io9.com. | |

Orcs and Orks in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 respectively often wear the very large horns of various creatures, usually to show that they've killed something even bigger and meaner than themselves. Exaggerated in true orkish fashion by their habit of putting either giant tusks or stamped metal shapes of same on their vehicles... including spacecraft. According to some sources, these "giant teef" serve the same purpose as the Imperial Gellar Field: they prevent daemons from boarding the ship during Warp transit due to some combination of orkish gestalt psychic powers and sheer intimidation. Of course, if daemons actually succeed in boarding, the orks view as a pleasant interruption to their daily life. | |

Queens of Mewni: Festivia the Fun wore a tiara with goat horns and bunches of grapes dangling off them because her formative years were spent in Silvan, so she ended up preferring their culture, which extended to her crown. Diana the Huntress wore a crown with two big antlers on it. |
