Normally in nature no creature has more than one tail. Not so in fiction. Any creature at all can have more than one tail, often to establish its other-worldliness. Sometimes the tails look like they might come from different creatures entirely. Usually such a creature is some form of supernatural or semi-divine spirit being, elemental, Kaiju, or demon. The tail might split partway along into two or more tips, or there might be more than one complete tail springing directly from the base of the spine. Compare Asian Fox Spirit and Bakeneko and Nekomata, most instances of which will fall under this trope. Doesn't have anything to do with Twin Tails. Compare and contrast Multiple Head Case for the other end of the animal. |

In the video games of Harry Potter, there are several references to the Gytrash, which are ghostly dogs with forked tails. The gytrash is a creature in English folklore, though only the Harry Potter games describe it with a forked tail. | |

In Naruto, there are nine tailed beasts, Animalistic Abominations that each have a different number of tails from one through nine. The Nine-Tailed Fox, his real name Kurama, is the strongest of the nine. Each was a creation of the primordial Ten-Tailed beast which was created by Kaguya Otutsuki to retrieve her chakra from her sons. | |

Right there in the first chapter of Toriko, the titular hero catches a Five-Tailed Sea Eagle (a giant eagle-creature with five reptilian tails) while catching some fish for lunch. Another notable example is the Yamata Scorpion, a monstrous scorpion with eight tails, each imbued with a different venom, which needs to be removed before consuming them. | |

Many species in Pokémon have multiple tails, such as Vulpix (six),note According to Pokédex entries it starts with one at birth and gradually grows more. Side media confirms this, but in-game you'll only ever see six. Ninetales (obvious), Tauros (three). Espeon has a forked tail with two tips, as do Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. Buizel and Floatzel have two (they even use them as propellers), as well as Ambipom, Electivire and Meowstic. There are also some ambiguous cases such as Grovyle (which has branching fern leaves for a tail) and Suicune (which has two ribbon-like appendages for a tail). | |

Touhou Project, with its focus on youkai, unsurprisingly has this. There are Ran, a nine-tailed kitsune, Chen, a twin-tailed nekomata, and, somewhat oddly, Orin, a kasha, who looks just like a nekomata despite the fact that they're mythologically unrelated. Fujiwara no Mokou is often seen with a three-tailed phoenix, sometimes one she creates out of fireballs. |

Magic: The Gathering: The first generation of Slivers possessed a serpentine body that split into two or more prehensile tails. In their latest appearance, said tails appear to have evolved into legs. Their new humanoid shape comes as a bit of a shock, but considering their predilection for spontaneously sprouting all manner of extra appendages, legs are small time. | |

One of Aesop's Fables (later adapted by Jean de La Fontaine) concerns two travelers -a German and a Turk- who claim to have seen two dragons (one with a hundred heads and the other with a hundred tails) on the other side of a hedge. The multi-headed one was actually the least dangerous, because all its heads prevented it from going through the hedge, but the multi-tailed one passed through without issue (an allegory for the Holy Roman Empire having many armies each led by their princes, and the Ottoman Empire having only a single leader). | |

Hc Svnt Dracones: "Twin Tailed" is a possible morphism. It's considered one of the more "attractive" morphisms and many Vectors have tails surgically added to mimic them.

Twin Tail from Return of Ultraman has Exactly What It Says on the Tin. His bizarre "upside-down" design had made him amongst the most iconic Ultra monsters and a Fountain of Expies in tokusatsu, so he tends to reappear often. Also supposedly inspired the Twin Tails hairstyle in Japan. | |

The Greenhouse: The demon 'Red' once she's put into the body of a cat. Not yet known whether these twin tails are prehensile like her single tail was. As the cat is probably a magical construct rather than a real cat being possessed, this is best described as Glamour Failure rather than Mark of the Supernatural. | |
