As Most Writers Are Human, we're typically most accustomed to dealing with other humans, or at least other vertebrates, and thus anything that deviates too much from that template looks creepy. Even with animals we're used to seeing a two-part, one-on-top-of-the-other jaw system on everything from whales to dogs to birds.note All of which do have one mandible, incidentally: the hinged lower jaw, with the fixed upper jaw being properly known as the maxilla. So adding, say, arthropod-style mouthparts to the jaw system we're used to, or even replacing it entirely, is a quick and easy way to make something seem strange and other. Monstrous Mandibles in fiction are typically found in four types. Decorative: This is a simple decorative addition, little more than tertiary nubs or tusks. Expect to see these mainly on Rubber-Forehead Aliens, though artificial designs to helmets and masks to resemble such an appearance also count. Functional: This is the functional addition. Whether they're little more than a tooth on a joint or a fully articulated limbs, these are mandibles that can actually do something. Bifurcated: This is the bifurcated jaw. Almost exclusively seen with the lower jaw, this has the existing jaw system fused with the monstrous set up, such that the jaws (or at least lower jaw) actually split in half. Replacement: This is total replacement, where Monstrous Mandibles are the only mouth parts. These are the default in Insectoid Aliens and more commonly found on particularly strange creatures. Also always the case in Real Life with any arthropod that actually has mandibles. For creatures where these are almost universal, see Insectoid Aliens, Big Creepy-Crawlies, and Predator Pastiche. Sub-Trope to Monster Mouth. |

In Subnautica, Reaper Leviathans are eel/shark Sea Monsters with two sets of wicked mandibles around their toothy mouths. Said mandibles are fully functional and capable of, say, grabbing your Seamoth mini-submarine and slowly crushing it like a tin can, while the Reaper looks you in the eye through the viewport and roars in your face. | |

In The Strain (TV series), the vampires have fleshy mandibles that are typically retracted into their throat but come up into the mouth when they feed. They aren't used to feed themselves but act as a sheathe for the "tongue" the vampires use to drink blood, making them a strange variation on Functionals. | |

Admiral Trench from Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an insectoid alien commanding a Separatist battalion of Mecha Mooks. He has two large chelicerae at the sides of a fairly regular mouth that speaks articulately, though punctuated with Verbal Tic clicking. These chelicerae seem to be Decorative, as Trench is never seen using them. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Depending on the Artist, the gargantuan Purple Worms and their variants sometimes have Functional mandibles, which they use to grab opponents and swallow them whole. Thri-Kreen from Dark Sun have functioning mandibles that they could deliver a bite attack with. If the idea of being bitten by a humanoid preying mantis isn't terrifying enough, their bite also injected a paralytic venom. Umber Hulks are large creatures that resemble a semi-humanoid beetle that stands about eight feet tall. They have huge, serrated mandibles that inflict vicious damage in combat. Oh, and they have a confusion-causing gaze attack. |

Mister Scroop from Disney's Treasure Planet has a pair of ant-like mandibles added onto a conventional maxilla-and-mandible mouth, qualifying as Decorative. They fit well with his arachnoid body, six walking legs and irisless eyes. They're appropriate for a character who's The Dragon of a cutthroat pirate band. | |

The Elites/Sangheili in Halo have two sets of jaws. Depending on how one looks at it, it could either be two sets of Bifurcated, two of Functional, or one set of each. Expanded universe materials make clear that they have trouble pronouncing phonemes in human languages because of them (and conversely, humans have trouble speaking their language). | |

Spider-Man: Man-Spider — Spider-Man's mutated monstrous form — has a pair of chelicerae alongside his now fang-lined jaws. Spider-X (Brian Kornfield) is a vigilante who made a deal with the eldritch god Chthon in exchange for powers similar to Spider-Man's, mutating him into a monstrous creature almost identical in appearance to Man-Spider. The Other — the spider-god who gave Spider-Man his powers — is depicted as a giant spider-monster with both chelicerae and fanged jaws. In Spider-Verse, when Kaine unleashes the Other's full power against the Inheritors, it transforms him into an enormous monster with fanged jaws and four chelicerae. In Savage Spider-Man, the monstrous Spider-Man is depicted as having fanged jaws and four Predator-style mandibles on the cover. |

Shadowrun has Insect Spirits, which can possess humans and turn them into human-insect hybrids. Large, biting mandibles are a common trait, especially if it's something like a beetle, dragonfly, or ant spirit doing the possessing. Metahumans may also grow insectile mandibles as a result of experiencing a SURGE event. Due to their unfortunate resemblance to Insect Spirits, this tends to result in them having a life expectancy that can be measured in minutes once someone else finds out. | |

The turians in Mass Effect are covered in bony plates which form beak-like protrusions, bony heel spurs, and spiky crests as well as Functional mouthparts on either side of their jaws, giving them beak-like points in place of lips, needle-like fangs, and insect-like mandibles. In spite of this, they're possibly the alien species with which humans actually have the most in common. | |
