* In ''Franchise/StarWars'' continuity, Ithorians were a benign example, an alien race where two mouths (with two throats per mouth) was the norm; [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars Jedi Master Roron Corobb]] was able to ''use'' them, [[MakeMeWannaShout letting out a Force-enhanced roar]] that bowled over General Greivous' assassin droid's and nearly knocked over Grievous himself.

* Mistaken for played straight in one case: The Cambrian sea creature [[http://paleobiology.si.edu/burgess/hallucigenia.html Hallucigenia]] was first reconstructed with seven tentacles on its back, each bearing a small, beak-like mouth. But as ScienceMarchesOn, it turned out that said tentacles were actually paired legs and the beaks their claws. Up to date, there was still no Hallucigenia fossil found that shows where the creature's mouth was really located.
** ...until recently, when it was deduced that ''Hallucigenia'' actually had a spike-lined pharynx much like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalidophora scalidophoran worms]].

* In early versions of ''VideoGame/TheSapling'', it was common for animals to evolve multiple different mouth types in sandbox mode so they could eat everything. While this can still be done, the Fight and Flight update rendered it AwesomeButImpractical due to the introduction of body part based pregnancy times.

* In ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'', Copy Rezo has two extra mouths, which is explained in the novels as being a result of also being a chimera (he's a hybrid of Rezo-clone and Mazoku). These mouths are used to utter incantations, though, not to eat or bite. The location of them differs.
* ''LightNovel/VampireHunterD''. The title character has some sort of parasite that manifests as a face in the palm of his left hand, which has strange, undefined magical powers, most notably the ability to suck in large amounts of material or magical energy at will, which can be used to nullify spells and revive D if he gets killed. It has a mind of its own and can talk to D.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'', the creature creator allows many mouths to be affixed to a given creature. The abilities provided by mouths don't stack so the main reason for this trope is aesthetics. There is one practical application for multiple mouths with omnivores. They have one mouth with the highest Bite rating and one mouth with the highest Sing rating. Placing both types on the creature gives them both abilities at max level.
** An example is seen here with [[http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Bellylegs this creation]]. This creature has mouths and faces all over its body ([[AHeadatEachEnd tail]], belly, legs, feet, etc...). Strangely, its main head is on one of its feet. As the creature evolves, some heads die, [[LosingYourHead including]] its original [[TinyHeadedBehemoth small human head]] (which was killed by ''[[OrganAutonomy its own feet]]''), but more form, including its torso’s head, which is actually located on what was once the belly ({{Cephalothorax}}). Mouths can also [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody detach]] and form their own creatures.
* Yogg-Saron, "The Beast with a Thousand Maws" from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', who has mouths in place of his nostrils, eyes, and other places where you wouldn't expect an orifice (this creature even provides the image of this page). Those are just the ones you can see.
* The monsters in ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'', appropriately called Gluttons and appearing in the circle of Gluttony, have mouths for hands. The boss of Gluttony, Cerberus, is a giant toad-like creature with three worm-like tongues, all decorated with extra mouths.
