* ''SpongeBobSquarePants''.

* [[KillerRabbit Squigs]] from WarHammer are essentially heads with legs and a little tail. [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily And lots of teeth.]]

* Gobules in ''Troperworks/TheMansionOfE'' are heads with legs, even lacking arms.

* Kool-Aid Man

* The Goblins from the Rankin-Bass Animated ''[[TheHobbit Hobbit]]''. Their mouths are larger than their bodies.
* Mike Wazowski in ''Monsters Inc.''

* Magnanimous from {{Megas XLR}}.

[[FridgeLogic You probably shouldn't think too hard about where the digestive tract or heart/lungs are located.]]

* Maxum from ''{{Gandahar}}''/''LightYears''

* The Lagann, the Gurren, and several other Ganmen from ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann''; being a CombiningMecha, however, the Gurren Lagann and its larger forms have a normal humanoid shape.
** Lagann's identified at one point as a 'core mech', so it seems that the various [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Gunmen]] were [[JustifiedTrope designed headless to accommodate Lagann-types, which were designed without heads because they become the heads]].
* Jigglypuff and many other ''{{Pokemon}}''.
* Many ''Digimon'' as well, specially the baby ones.
* ''OnePiece'' villain Buggy the Clown resembles one of these when he tries to assemble himself after his torso and limbs are tied up (leaving only the head, hands, and feet). He ends up stuck that way for quite a while after Luffy gives him a MegatonPunch, until Alvida finally brings him back to his crew (who held onto his torso).
* Jama-P from ''WeddingPeach''.
* King Nikochan and his alien race from Dr. Slump.
* Jibaku (actually, all the spirits) from ''TwelveWorldStory''.

* Strong Mad from ''HomestarRunner'' might be more appropriately called a Thoraxocephaloid, as he's the exact opposite: A torso without a head.

* The classic 8-bit game M.U.L.E. had several alien races for the player to choose as their avatar. Among these was the packer, an obvious ShoutOut to Pac Man. The packer was essentially a big walking mouth with two stubby legs and a pair of eyes.

* The four Giants from TheLegendOfZelda: [[Ptitle6ibfdbcv Majora's Mask]] each have a Cephalothorax the size of what a giant's head would normally be, and otherwise only count as giants thanks to their incredibly long and spindly arms and legs.
