The sudden eruption of an enraged individual's head into that of a fauxdemonic monster many times its normal size, with bulging eyes, wagging tongue, pointed ears and teeth, and sometimes jets of steam or flame from its nostrils. Usually expected to cow the viewer into defeat or submission; usually does not work. Rushing up to someone and getting in their face in a confrontational manner can have a similar effect. Compare with Demonic Head Shake, Scary Flashlight Face, Game Face, Burning with Anger and Looming Silhouette of Rage. Close relative of Nightmare Face. Also see Comical Angry Face, where the character's head usually stays at a relatively normal size but still includes fangs or otherwise distorted teeth and bulging eyes. Not to be confused with "the Demon's Head". Or Clash at Demonhead. Or Succubi and Incubi. Examples |

S�un Tend�, and occasionally his daughters, from Ranma ½. Usually comes with an Art Shift that depicts the demon head in ukiyo-e style print, including spectral wisps and rolling flames, to explicitly reference traditional youkai artwork. It became such a Running Gag, that at one point a unimpressed Akane calmed him down by literally pulling a cork from it and causing it to fly off like a deflated balloon. | |

In Mortal Kombat 3, Kabal has a fatality where he removes his mask, exposing his horrifically scarred face. As per this trope, it appears to us with greatly increased size, glowing eyes, wagging tongue, and a rather chilling scream. This actually manages to scare his victims to death. | |

Once, and only once by the title character on the Asian-influenced Avatar: The Last Airbender, complete with waving arms, Blank White Eyes, Cross-Popping Veins, and face reddening. Due in part to the show's well-known characteristic of disdaining from over-the-top cartoony anime tropes in favor of utilizing the more cinematic style of anime, the effect overall left a bad taste in the mouths of viewers. | |

In the early chapters/episodes of Naruto, Iruka does this. A current theory on this is it's a combination genjutsu technique and some kind of technique that amplifies the users' voice and vocal pressure, since you can see Naruto's hair ruffling in the wind as he's doing this. | |

An effect common in the Pokémon: The Series: "Leer" and "Scary Face", moves used in a battle, sometimes use this. Jesse of Team Rocket sometimes does this when she gets angry at James and Meowth, e.g. in "One Trick Phony". Misty occasionally does it when she gets mad at Ash. |
