In the same way that having {{extra eyes}} [[EyesDoNotBelongThere in unusual places]] can be unnerving, a creature with extra mouths can also be horrific, in a different way. The mouth is the organ of consumption, so a creature can be given extra mouths to show that it is a ravenous, [[HorrorHunger hungry]] monstrosity. A massive paunch and lack of other sensory organs will create the image of an organism with no intelligence or purpose other than to eat.

To enhance the effect of the mouths, they may be equipped with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily, or alternatively, might be gross and wide orifices with a thick tongue and smacking lips.

But there are many other ways to add mouths, and many places. They can be obvious or discrete, even hidden. They may even have special properties or powers. Their owner can be an EldritchAbomination or a seemingly-normal human, or anything in between.

Specific subtropes include BellyMouth and NestedMouths.
