* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wizards}}'' has the dark forces of Scortch march against the elves and fairies of Montagar. Most of the Scortch warriors have armor and helmets with horns, usually rotoscoped from other SwordAndSandals films. The elves usually have no headgear, and those that do have no horns.%%A map in the opening scenes spells "Scortch" with a "T"; it's a canon misspelling.

In reality, horns on a helmet would actually sabotage its effectiveness, providing a joint to catch incoming blows rather than deflect them. As such, while horned helmets were sometimes created in real life, these were strictly ceremonial and decorative pieces and not usually meant for being used in battle. Horned helmets may be replaced by the (equally unhistorical) winged helmets.

*''Anime/VoltesV'' has a case of a barbaric character who's ''born'' with [[HornedHumanoid horns on his head]] in the form of Prince Heinel. On a larger scale, in Boazanian society, those with horns form an aristocratic elite and those without them are forced to work as slaves until they die, in order to keep the Boazanian Empire's economy afloat.

* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': Uighur the Warden has a helmet with two large horns. Being the warden and enforcer of Cassandra, he [[WardensAreEvil rules the prison city through savagery and iron fists]]. Not only does his helmet invoke a barbaric image in a post-apocalyptic city, its horns are actually [[WhipItGood armed with thousands of whips within]].
