Horns of Villainy | comment |
One very noticeable way to show that a character either is evil or has turned evil is to give them horns, or sometimes antlers. While size, shape, and count don't always matter, when one or more of those factors is emphasized, it enhances the apparent nastiness of the character. This can also give the character a more beastly, animalistic, or demonic appearance and/or character. With Evil Counterparts, this generally shows up in two ways. If the good character is divine or divinely-themed, the counterpart will have horns that give a devil- or demon-like aspect. If the good character already has one or more horns, then the counterpart's horns will be a deformed or mutated version of them. Evil Horned Humanoids, Horny Vikings, and Big Red Devils can fall under this. Often a feature of Scary Impractical Armor. A Crown of Horns can fall into this depending on the design. Possibly a side effect of receiving a Mark of the Beast or being Claimed by the Supernatural if the latter is malevolent in nature. This is one possible way a Red Right Hand can manifest. Cuckold Horns are something else entirely. Devilish Hair Horns are a symbolic version. Sister Trope to Spikes of Villainy and Horns of Barbarism, with which this does not necessarily have to coincide. Can overlap with Sinister Deer Skull due to the antler imagery. Contrast Holy Halo. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Zig-Zagged. Both good characters (Vivienne, Rodan, Manda's benevolent kind, and even the ram-horned Thor) and bad characters (Ghidorah, the Many's Dracolich form, MaNi/Elder Brother) have horns, with the only real connection amongst all of them being that they're all either Titans or creatures on a near-Titan level of power. | |

Samurai Jack: Aku has a pretty impressive set of these that resemble deer antlers or a shogun's helmet. Because Aku's "base" form is based off a tree, they are probably best likened to a set of tree branches. Statutes and tributes to Aku usually have these prominently displayed. When the Daughters Of Aku, who were raised in isolation to worship him, see a random stag in the wild, they assume it's one of Aku's servants, and are quite perplexed when it winds up snuggling noses with a doe. | |

The guy with the biggest set of horns however is Manus, final boss of the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, who has an utterly massive set growing out of his head and upper back. Making it worse, they are covered in glowing red eyes. As if the guy needed to be any more Obviously Evil. | |

Sleeping Beauty: Maleficent plays this trope completely straight, in contrast to her portrayal in Maleficent, although it's never revealed if her horns are real or simply a part of her headdress. She even calls herself "The Mistress of All Evil" and curses Princess Aurora for no reason other than not being invited to a party (although it's implied she was evil even before then). During the climactic battle, she turns into a horned dragon. | |

Undertale: Subverted by King Asgore, who has oversized demonic horns, looks intimidating when framed in shadow, and is first mentioned to you in all caps and blood-red letters, but is actually a really nice and friendly guy who loves gardening and is adored by all his subjects. While he ultimately does try to kill you, it's made clear that he really, really doesn't want to, and is only doing so because he believes he has no choice. Played straight by his son Asriel, who after absorbing all of the monster souls in the Underground, ages himself up to a form that includes similarly demonic-looking horns. |

Warcraft: Illidan Stormrage is a night elf demon hunter, who took the He Who Fights Monsters path and became a demonic being himself, gaining horns and bat-like wings during the process. His followers, the Illidari, also sport horns as they underwent the same ritual as he did to become demon hunters. Ultimately, Illidan and his followers are a Subversion as while they did sometimes act in an antagonistic manner, in the end they help lead the fight against Sargeras and the Burning Legion with Illidan himself becoming Sargeras's jailer. Played straight with several demon races in the Burning Legion, such as the imps, felhounds, and Nathrezim (Dreadlords). The Man'ari Eredar also sport horns (even some of the males, when in the case of the uncorrupted Draenei Eredar only the females have horns). And of course, Sargeras himself sports massive horns, which befits his nature as the resident Satanic Archetype. |

My Monster Secret: Akane is more The Gadfly than truly evil, but is still a demon nonetheless. She is never seen without her horns, even when she's using her illusions to make herself look like someone else. The horns also appear on any people (or meteors) that she's using her powers to control. It's also true in a literal sense, as when one of her horns gets broken, she becomes incredibly nice and supportive, which just freaks out the rest of the cast even more. Fallen Angel Shirogane Karen tries to invoke this trope by wearing a set of fake, detachable horns to make her look more evil. In actuality, she isn't any more evil than when she was a proper angel. |

In Seven Mortal Sins, horns are said to be the mark of a Demon Lord. After losing her wings, Lucifer sprouts horns to complete her transformation from an Archangel, to a Fallen Angel, and finally to the Demon Lord of Pride. However, they are Affably Evil at worst and presented as the better alternative since God Is Evil and views humanity as a failed project to be purged. | |

Maleficent: Subverted. The early trailers and teasers revealed that Maleficent actually did have horns, but still portrayed her as sinister. The movie, however, portrays her as angry and vengeful instead of the outright evil of her original incarnation, and ultimately redeemed by the end. | |

Pathfinder, like its parent D&D, gives horns to many of the evil outsiders (and almost none of the neutral or good ones, except for a few antlered celestials). They're most common among the Lawful Evil devils, but some of the Chaotic Evil demons and Neutral Evil daemons get in on the act too. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor and The Avengers: Loki wears a helmet decorated with two long devilish horns and is the films' Big Bad. Thor: Ragnarok: Surtur looks like a classic devil and his crown is decorated with two horns. Please, don't mistake them for the eyebrows. Hela's hairdress is decorated with a multitude of horns. She uses them as projectiles in battle. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms: The Crown of Horns is an Artifact of Doom that holds part of the deceased death god Myrkul's essence, and tends to drive the wearer to evil (or in the case of Laeral Silverhand, insanity). Beshaba, goddess of bad luck, misfortune, and accidents, employs as symbol a pair of black deer horns and some fanart represents her with them. The 3E supplement Faiths and Pantheons introduced a Prestige Class called the Horned Harbinger, a servant of Myrkul who grows horns as part of their class progression. |

Honkai Impact 3rd: The Affably Evil Valkyrie Rita Rossweisse invokes this when wearing her Umbral Rose battlesuit, as it includes a hairband with two curved horn-like extensions. When Fu Hua appears to come back to life after being shot to death, one visual sign that something isn't right is that her Fenghuang Down Divine Key, rather than taking on the form of a simple hairband, is now a crescent-shaped decoration that, when looking at her face-on, gives her the impression of having a horn coming out of the right side of her head that constantly emits red and black "flames". Later, it's revealed that it's not actually Fu Hua, but the Herscherr of Sentience that's taken over her body. Subverted by Raiden Mei after she becomes the Herscherr of Lightning again. While she can appear as a normal human, when she assumes the form of the Herscherr, the transformation causes her to grow long, curved horns from her forehead that give her a very oni-like appearance. However, rather than becoming evil, her personality has simply become much more cold, aloof, and dour, partly due to the increased influence of the Honkai but also due to her sadness over abandoning her friends, especially Kiana, in order to save Kiana's life. |

Centaurworld: The Big Bad of the series introduced in the season one finale, the "Nowhere King" is a hideous abomination with not just horns, but a deer's skull for a head, along with a body made of Ominous Obsidian Ooze; he turns out to be the master of the armies of minotaurs threatening Horse and Rider's world, and eventually Centaurworld as well. He's also implied to be a former denizen of Centaurworld who was somehow corrupted by black magic, which explains his animalistic appearance. | |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): Ghidorah has ten horns crowning each of his three heads, while Rodan has two horn-like crests curving out the back of his head: the one with more horns of them is an Omnicidal Maniac who's actively malevolent to an extent far beyond any of the previous monsters, while the other with less horns is ferociously territorial and becomes Ghidorah's Dragon, but still isn't as evil as Ghidorah when acting on his own. In the novelization's expansion, Mokele-Mbembe has a single horn curving from his head in addition to his tusks, and once he's bent to Ghidorah's will, he eats a Monarch operative alive whilst annihilating the Monarch outpost around him and looking to rampage in Ghidorah's name. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Bowser has two small ox-like horns, as he was originally intended to be an ox before Nintendo changed him into a beast with the features of a turtle, a dragon and an ox due to the Fridge Logic of an ox leading a kingdom of turtles. Bowser's son Bowser Jr. also has horns, but they are just starting to grow out. Bowser and his son are also notably the only koopa who have horns, which, in a sense, signifies their respective statuses as the King of the Koopas and Prince of the Koopas. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Bowser can boost his Horn stat in order to improve his chances to earn critical hits and get a better scratch card, similar to the Mario Bros. mustaches. | |

In Gargoyles, most of the Gargoyles subvert the trope; their horns range from noticeable ones such as Brooklyn's to stubbier ones like Goliath's, but they are kind-hearted, altruistic figures despite their seemingly demonic appearance. There are some who are motivated by malevolent goals (e.g. Demona, Thailog, and Coldsteel), but they are shown to be a minority. | |

In One Piece, most members of the Animal Kingdom pirates have a pair of horns (excepting Queen, the Waiters, allied captains, and maybe King depending on what's under his coat). For most of them, it seems to be just headgear that denotes their allegiance and rank (the low-ranked Pleasures have one white horn, while Gifters and above have two black horns), but some of them seem to be real- Luffy is able to grab Ulti by hers. | |

The Bible: The Trope Codifier is usually Satan, who is always depicted with horns unless masquerading as someone else. This image is derived from various goat/man hybrids in Classical Mythology, such as fauns, satyrs, and the god Pan, who were incarnations of lust; thus, in traditional art Satan is also shown with hooves and a tail, though this aspect is somewhat less common today. Over time Satan's horns have evolved in artwork from curly goat horns to longer cow- or ram-like horns, and these are so iconic that they are even now primary indicators of all demons, or of a Satanic Archetype or a Big Red Devil. Inverted in the case of many statues of Moses that have horns (a failed attempt to simulate light coming from his forehead), due to a mistranslation that turned "radiant" (after speaking with God) into "horned". |

The Beginning After the End: Agrona and the Vritra all sport horns that contain the source of their magical power. Given that the Vritra are a clan of Evilutionary Biologists who have experimented on the population of Alacrya for millennia, a tell-tale sign of their corruptive influence is the presence of the same horns of power on other living beings and creatures. In fact, the horns are so symbolic of the Vritra that the the phrase "Vritra's Horns" is a common swear in Alacryan society. However, having Vritra blood does not entail that one is Always Chaotic Evil, as there are a few such characters who are either heroic or at the very least oppose the Vritra such as Seris Vritra, her retainer Cylrit, her protégé Caera Denoir, and Sylvie, the daughter of Agrona himself. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Just like its parent game, horns are a signature feature of Chaos: The helmets of Chaos Space Marines often sport horns of various lengths and shapes, with Ahzek Ahriman◊ of the Thousand Sons and Kranon the Relentless◊ of the Crimson Slaughter bearing two of the most extravagant examples. While Ahriman's are simply ornamental, Kranon's are the Slaughterer's Horns, which give him several melee combat-specific rules in the game. The helmets of Loyalist suits of Terminator armor already resemble the skulls of wild pigs or elephants, but Chaos Terminators like to step this up by mounting one or more pairs of long tusk-like horns on them. Most daemons have horns, with the general exception being daemons of Tzeentch. Khornate and Slaaneshi daemons' horns are fairly typical in appearance, while Nurglite daemons' horns tend to be warped, heavily forked and antler-like. Magnus the Red sported long horns on his armor, but after turning to Tzeentch and becoming a Daemon Primarch, he gained a pair of huge horns on his brow as well◊. Related to Magnus and the Thousand Sons: the planet they use as their base of operations, called the Planet of Sorcerers, has a native population of horned avian Beastmen called Tzaangors who are employed by the Legion as foot soldiers and guards due to the Legion's relatively low manpower. Subverted by the Black Dragons Space Marine chapter. A mutation in their Ossmodula organnote the organ all Astartes have which gives them their enhanced skeletons causes them to not only develop their signature arm spikes, but gives some bony horn-like growths on their heads◊. Since the Imperium is very hostile toward body-distorting mutations like this, the Inquisition and many other Astartes chapters treat them with anything from suspicion to revulsion, but they are fiercely loyal to the Imperium. |

Warhammer: Numerous factions aligned to the Gods of Chaos either have horns themselves (Daemons, Beastmen) or wear horned helmets to evoke the same (Norscan marauders, the Warriors of Chaos). The mutations inflicted by chaotic energies frequently take the form of horns or other daemonic features. Malekith the Witch-King and Morathi the Hag Sorceress, the rulers of the cruel Dark Elves, both sport impressive, tangled horns as part of their headgear. Greenskins are also fond of occasionally attaching horns or tusks to their helmets, most prominently seen on warbosses and black orcs. The skaven worship a deity known as the Great Horned Rat, and some skaven are rarely born with white/grey fur and horns that mark them as having the favor of their god. Separated from their original litters, the Grey Seers are raised to become scheming Evil Sorcerers and the ruling priesthood of skaven society. Verminlords, meanwhile, are supernatural avatars of the Horned Rat (analogous to the "greater daemons" of the Chaos Gods), and possess particularly outrageous sets of horns befitting their patron and their colossal stature. |

Diamond Dogs. When Childe first turns up to recruit his childhood friend Richard for an expedition to break into an Evil Tower of Ominousness, Richard notes that he's replaced his satanic horns (this is in a future where body modification isn't unusual) with a Beard of Evil. Apart from establishing Childe's villainy, it also serves as a Chekhov's Gun when someone finds a horn among the remains of a previous failed expedition that have been dumped outside the tower, revealing that the real Childe is dead. | |

Heartcore: All of the demons have horns and are evil by nature, but some demons like Ame subvert this by being not-entirely-evil. | |

Anthrax: The album art for Among the Living features a man in the crowd removing his hat. If you look closely, you'll see horns, and given the lyrics of the title track, he's likely up to no good. | |

In The LEGO Movie, Lord Business, a rather deliberately Card-Carrying Evil Overlord, wears a big helmet adorned with such horns... which have coffee mugs on top. | |

In The Obsidian Trilogy, the demons have large, prominent horns. Subverted, however, with the half-demon character Vestakia, who has small horns but is very definitely one of the good guys. | |

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: The Demon sisters Scanty and Kneesocks, the main characters' Evil Counterparts, have horns. Scanty has bilateral horns amid her tresses, while Kneesocks has a single horn amid her forelocks. Their horns go well with their spaded tails and red skin. In Daten City, however, this is an Unusually Uninteresting Sight, and their superior, Corset, has no horns. | |

Doom: The hellspawn sport horns, and the bigger the horns, the more hurt they can put on the player's character. There are horns on the imps, the demons, the cacodemons, the Hell Knights, the Hell Barons, and the biggest horns of all are on the Cyberdemon, who'll gladly shoot rockets up your nose if you're not careful. | |

Ghost plays rock with distinctly Satanic themes. Its musicians, the Nameless Ghouls, wore horned devil masks during the Meliora and Prequelle eras. | |

The Voynich Hotel: The devils all have horns and, when they're not causing general mischief, are after people's souls. Ashkelon has one in the middle of his forehead, Holon has two that give him the stereotypical "goat-horned devil" look, and Demona has two that curl downward like a laurel wreath. | |

Final Fantasy VIII: Sorceress Ultimecia, the Big Bad , has a pair of horns, though it's unclear whether they are real or fake (the sorceresses are known for both strange mutations and horrible fashion sense). | |

In Babylon 5, Ambassador Kosh has little stylized wings on the shoulders of his encounter suit. Rather than wings, his replacement has curved tubes that resemble horns — and, sure enough, turns out to be much less affable. | |

Voltes V: The noble class of Planet Boazania are horned, and use them as an excuse to deem the hornless Boazanians as inferior. The cruelty towards the hornless Boazanians is so pervasive that when the Prince of Boazania is born with no horns, his father attempts filicide on him and has to be held back by his wife, the doctor that delivered the baby and his personal messenger. He agrees to spare the child...and raise him with prosthetic horns so that he won't be subject to societal Fantastic Racism. | |

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Mola Ram's Crown of Horns invokes this. It's made from a cow's skull, which is blasphemous in Hinduism (a religion that reveres cattle), just to hammer home the point that Mola Ram "betrayed Shiva." | |
