14
15	A JustifiedTrope in certain cases -- say, a mutation or non-human anatomy -- but in other cases this is left completely unexplained (and usually PlayedForLaughs). The lucky person in possession of this tongue frequently has a surprising amount of [[MultipurposeTongue control over it, and may even use it as a weapon]].
16
17	Characters without this feature may [[MetaphoricMetamorphosis suddenly develop one]], often in tandem with a JawDrop, when startled, screaming, or confronted with a HeadTurningBeauty.

94
95	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
96	* Pairing this trope with InOneEarOutTheOther by having someone sexy seductively stick their tongue into someone else's ear is practically a minor stock trope in of itself in spoof movies, appearing as it does in such films as ''Film/{{Mafia}}'', ''Film/WrongfullyAccused'' and ''Film/DanceFlick''.

126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:Literature]]

155	--->'''Vastra:''' Mammals. [[FantasticRacism They all look alike]].\
156	'''Jenny:''' [[RightInFrontOfMe Oh, thank you]]!\
157	'''Vastra:''' Was I being insensitive again, dear? I don't know why you put up with me.\

244	* ''Webcomic/ByTheTail'': Echo has a rather long tongue, her being a bat and all.
245	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Nanase's gecko form [[http://egscomics.com/egsnp/nanasecraft-14 has one]], which [[http://egscomics.com/egsnp/nanasecraft-20 comes in handy]] when she needs an alternative way to grab on to something making it a MultipurposeTongue.
246	* Rare female example with ''Webcomic/GaiGin'''s Gin, [[http://www.gai-gin.com/comic_0177.shtml apparently]].
247	* A ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' side story shows that Maxim can lick bloody wounds that are nowhere near his face. The fangirls were intrigued.
248	* Ben from ''Webcomic/GoblinHollow'' can lick his own eyebrow. Justified since he's a bear. [[http://www.rhjunior.com/goblin-hollow-0330/ It causes an interesting reaction when the cousin of his future wife witnesses it.]]
249	* In ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'', Dabbler is shown to have one longer than a human's. She's a Succubus, so it's certainly a useful adaptation.
250	* [[http://hexenringe.blogspot.jp/2013/10/002-prologue-2.html The Blarg]] from ''Webcomic/{{Hexenringe}}'' has a {{Kaiju}}-sized frog tongue.
251	* In ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', Carla the chameleon is just a baby, but her sticky tongue can already extend many times the length of the rest of her.
252	* "Legs" from ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' is an armless, wingless[[note]]vestigial stubs, technically[[/note]] quasi-bird alien, who possesses a several-yards-long prehensile tongue. It comes in handy surprisingly often.
253	-->"What can I say? I still have the flight instincts of a bird."\
254	"And a tongue that can be used as a tow cable? Evolution is a madman, I tell you."
255	* [[http://www.schoolbites.net/d/20100122.html Fujiko]] of ''Webcomic/SchoolBites''.
256	* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', Ren's tongues (plural) aren't as long as the other examples on this page but are still about half the length of his body. Also [[SnicketWarningLabel you do not want]] to see them.
257	* [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/tipofhertongue/ Monica]] of ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare''. Although [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/get-a-room/ it may be slightly exaggerated here]].

261	* In ''Literature/{{Twig}}'', Helen, who is notable for looking human only to lure in prey and practice her acting skills, occasionally demonstrates the ability to extend her tongue well beyond what's possible for humans so she can lick things. When Sylvester catches her tongue after she tries to lick him, she demonstrates that it's also prehensile.

265	* [[Music/{{KISS}} Gene Simmons]]. Anyone who's watched more than one episode of ''Series/GeneSimmonsFamilyJewels'' knows Nick Simmons has inherited it; if Sophie has, she's not showing it off on television.
266	* Internet sensation [[https://instagram.com/marniethedog/ Marnie the Dog]] is almost never seen without her tongue hanging out. [[WordOfGod Her caretaker]] has confirmed that yes, her tongue really is that long.
267	* Chameleon tongues, which they use to capture prey, can be over twice as long as their bodies.
268	* Frogs and toads, despite what fiction may tell you, actually avert this -- their tongues are shorter than their own heads, and they rely on pouncing upon their prey; the common conception of what a frog's tongue looks like is based more on chameleons than anything. Some frogs even lack tongues altogether, and simply grab insects with their "hands" and stuff them into their mouths. In fact, the only amphibians with the kind of tongue seen in every fictional frog ever are salamanders of the genus ''Hydromantes'', [[http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/97legacy/salamander.html which can stretch up to 80% of their body length in a hundredth of a second]] -- the fastest motion of a tongue in the animal kingdom.
269	* Butterflies don't have tongues, but they do have curling proboscises in the spirit of this trope, evolved to reach into flowers to get at the nectar inside.
270	* Woodpeckers, some species of which have a tongue so long that [[http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/woodpecker/woodpecker.html it actually loops up around their brain]].
271	* Giraffes and their lesser-known relatives, Okapis. In fact, an okapi's tongue is so long it uses it to wash its eyelids and clean out its ears (both inside and out) -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhc67wopg40
272	* Anteaters, aardvarks, echidnas and pangolins have all convergently evolved long, sticky tongues, which they use to collect ants and termites for food.
273	* Nectar bats, of which at least one species of which has a tongue longer than its entire body.
274	* Hummingbirds have extra-long tongues in their extra-long beaks. Particularly true of the swordbill, a hummer with a beak ''and'' tongue longer than its body.
275	* Kinkajous and sun bears have long tongues used to reach for insects and honey.
276	* [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LbccUVbSRd8/SjlHRqWRcOI/AAAAAAAAEv8/1Hu73ObqZdE/s400/bear+tongue.jpg Certain bears]], including Sun Bears, whose tongues can reach [[http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/look-out-this-guy-can-give-a-real-tongue-lashing/story-e6freuy9-1225821813732 30 cm]].
277	%%* Buster Bloodvessel of BadManners.

284	%%** Lyra Law
285	%%* Several winners of the World's Ugliest Dog competition have been examples.
286	* Someone with a missing or cut [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenulum_of_tongue lingual frenulum]] can extend the tongue slightly farther than otherwise. This apparently happened to Creator/GwendolineChristie, which she [[https://youtu.be/UGFnbnLWjEE demonstrated]] in an interview with Creator/CraigFerguson.
287	* The forked tongues of snakes and monitor lizards are usually quite long, the better to extend well past their snouts and lick up scent-molecules for analysis via vomeronasal olfactory receptors.
