History Main / DevilishHairHorns

* Mandy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''.

* Holly Blue Agate in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. Her role in the FantasticCasteSystem is basically that of a drill sergeant, and that her position was a way of being ReassignedToAntarica does not help her overall disposition.

[[caption-width-right:200:Mrs. Lovett is a very good baker but not a nice person.]]

* Chase, in ''Webcomic/ImTheGrimReaper'', thinks Scarlet has "weird hair flicks" on the top of her head for a good chunk of the series. [[spoiler: They're horns. ]]

* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'', who has real horns a well. While basically good, Zebragirl has been transformed into a demon, with the darkness and violence that entails.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'': Mr. Perkins has the "Pointy Haired Boss" look going.

Not to be confused with a joke seen in cartoons in which a character's hair (feathers, if it's an avian character like DonaldDuck) come together briefly into little devil horns whenever they have a truly malicious idea.

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. Chibi-Usa/Rini has pointed buns that evoke her [[TheTrickster Trickster]] nature (and the MoonRabbit) and certainly apply as an indicator of malice when she transforms into Black Lady/Wicked Lady. They also evoke the horns of a crescent moon, and her heroic nature as a moon princess.

Hair, [[GoodHairEvilHair that infallible representation of a person's moral compass.]] In an effort to shape the world of fiction into something more logical than [[WorldOfChaos the unpredictable]] [[RealLife real world,]] authors have long given their characters physical traits that provide artful hints about where said character stands on the good-evil spectrum. Triangular shapes are the preferred way of telling the audience that a character is one bad dude or chick, but few are more unsubtle and in-your-face than a threatening hairstyle. And as far as ''that'' goes, you can't get much more direct than likening them to [[TheDevil Old Scratch]] himself. A [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin hairstyle shaped like horns]] is almost always a surefire sign of a heart as black as soot.

* In the 2009 ''[[VideoGame/SaGa2 SaGa 2 / Final Fantasy Legend II]]'' remake, New God(dess) Venus is redesigned to have these.

-->'''Ace:''' All right...''that's it!'' This "White Devil" thing has gone far enough. ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Nobody! Messes!]] [[ManChild With the 'do!]]''

* Akira in ''{{Manga/Shiki}}''. He's not evil though; just a victim of a series with crazy amounts of AnimeHair.

* ''Anime/TheTreeOfMight'': Turles, the EvilCounterpart of [[Anime/DragonBallZ Goku]], has Goku's hairstyle with two horns.

!!Examples

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* Jinx from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. She starts out as a villain, but the horned hairdo stays after she [[HeelFaceTurn has a change of heart.]]
* Sylvester Sneakly, the alter ego of the Hooded Claw in WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** One episode sorta does this: Mayor Quimby is making a speech of some sort, but he's extremely sweaty, so when he passes his hand through his hair, he ends up looking like [[TheDevil the Devil.]] Naturally, the TV crew filming him add hellfire surrounding him.
** Similarly, in "She of Little Faith", while the town is discussing fund-raising ideas to rebuild the church, the shadow of a horned figure falls upon them. It is then revealed that the silhouette belongs to Mr. Burns, who quickly slicks down his hair.
* Mandy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''.
* ComicBook/KlarionTheWitchBoy from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' sports a particularly pointy hairdo.

* Averted in ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'': UnluckyEverydude Fry has vaguely horn-shaped hair (even referred to as his "hair-horn" once), yet is [[DumbIsGood undoubtedly good]].

* Aunt Trudy in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez'', an annoying, but not evil, example.

* Mrs. Dave from ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'' very unsubtly has hair shaped like horns. She's the overbearing mother of Lois' boyfriend.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]

* Garou from One Punch Man has hair that starts out like this but slowly transforms into actual horns as he becomes a monster.

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. Chibi-Usa/Rini has pointed buns that evoke her {{Trickster}} nature (and the MoonRabbit) and certainly apply as an indicator of malice when she transforms into Black Lady/Wicked Lady. They also evoke the horns of a crescent moon, and her heroic nature as a moon princess.

* Madame Corporation in ''Theatre/NouvelleExperience'' is not evil, but she ''is'' a sometimes intimidating {{Trickster}} and as such has bright red hair styled in this manner.

* The president of Lala's fanclub in ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' sports such a hairdo when she (apparently) goes [[{{Dragonball}} Super Saiyan]] and starts beating up Rito.
