->''"...[[Characters/TheLegendOfZeldaGanonGanondorf Ganondorf]] has an exceptionally unique case of unibrow, in which his eyebrows connect clearly with his hair, thus forming one very long eyebrow. This puts the typical unibrow (one that connects in the middle of one's face above the nose) to shame..."''
-->-- '''Website/UrbanDictionary'''

Ah, the Unibrow. Not generally considered the most attractive kind of facial hair on the market[[note]]To us in the modern western world, at least. see below.[[/note]]. So like most kinds of unfashionable/unattractive appearance, characters sporting one are mostly consigned to being either [[BeautyEqualsGoodness evil]], or [[{{Gonk}} comical]].

If a female has one, it's typically meant to show that she's unattractive. These are a typical uncool feature of nerd girls.

A Subtrope of UnusualEyebrows (more particularly, EvilEyebrows), GoodHairEvilHair, and BigOlEyebrows.

* From ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' is [[http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/2390/wyvernradamanthyskyotoebg5.jpg Wyvern Radamanthys]]. He also has the dubious distinction of being one of the [[{{Bishonen}} best looking]] characters displaying this particular trait.

** [[TheBully Harold]] also has one, however, [[TookALevelInKindness he became much less of a bully as the show went on]], making him something between both types. Ironically enough, Harold [[HypocriticalHumor makes fun of Helga's unibrow in at least one episode.]]

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Creator/{{Frida Kahlo}} is famous for her self-portraits that emphasize her large bushy unibrow. Rare in that it is not villainous or comical, but rather is valued for its artistic value and redefinition of beauty. However, Kahlo was considered classically attractive by many; she just [[AccentuateTheNegative Accentuated The Negative]] whenever it came to drawing herself due to a bad self-image.
* Music/{{Madonna}} gives a ShoutOut to this style on the cover of her album ''Madame X'', in which her name is written across her brow in a manner that emulates Kahlo's unibrow.

* Former Dodgers and Cardinals slugger [[https://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/60/cid/10592/1963-Topps-279-Wally-Moon Wally Moon]]. Not evil, unless you were an opposing pitcher who gave up one of his famed "Moon shots" (what fans called Moon's home runs).
* And of course we cannot forget ''Creator/MehdiSadaghdar'', who has managed to keep a majestic unibrow for years despite regularly getting into situations where [[ElectricTorture it could easily be singed off]].
