Multiboobage

"You make me wish I had three hands!"

Beavis: Check it out, Butt-Head! This chick has three boobs!
Butt-Head: That's pretty cool. How many butts does she have?

— Beavis and Butt-Head

Any female character with more than two breasts. The term originated (or at least, was popularised) by The Funday Pawpet Show's Simba, whose character, Arthur Bronswager, sings the parody song "Total Recallin'", which contains the line, "The best part was the girl with three breasts."

This is fairly common in parts of the Furry Fandom, mainly due to this being Truth in Television for most mammals. It's worth noting that this is almost exclusively done with female breasts—you'll probably never see a male furry with more than two nipples (unless this is a transgender or intersex person with breasts), even if he is in the same drawing as a female with more than two.

If it's a male character with extra equipment, you've got a Triple Nipple.

• The cheesy '80s hair rock/sci-fi B movie Vicious Lips features a triple-breasted hooker showing off her assets near the beginning of the film.

Mythology

• There are a number of ancient cultures, such as the Inca, which depicted their fertility goddesses as having multiple breasts. Scholars have debated whether the Ephesian statues of the goddess Artemis have multiple breasts as well, but the more accepted view in recent years is that the breast-like objects on the statues are part of the goddess's costume.
• Hindu goddess Meenakshi had three breasts at birth. She loses one of them when she meets her husband, Shiva.
• Some versions of the Amazon legend depict these warrior-women as inverting this trope, amputating one breast so it won't get in the way when they draw back a bowstring. As women who practice archery today don't have any such problems, feminists have suggested that the depiction is due to men being uncomfortable with the idea of strong women, and therefore an Amazon has to give up part of her womanhood for strength. (It may have originally simply been an etymological myth to explain the word "Amazon," which was likely from an Iranian or non-Indo-European language but was interpreted in Greek as "a-" + "mazos," "lacking a breast." This would explain why Amazons weren't consistently so depicted.)

Newspaper Comics

• The Dilbert strip for January 18, 2012 had Wally join the Top 1% Club and express his pleasure at seeing a female member with three breasts.

Other

Tabletop Games

• In Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, female gnolls were depicted as having six breasts. This is a bit odd, given that gnolls are supposed to be humanoid hyenas, which unlike canines or felines only have a single pair of mammary glands.
• FAPP (NSFW):
  • 2nd Edition, a.k.a. Advanced Fapp, has the Multi Mutation, which can be applied to your Tits or any other Asset (which are basically body parts). The rules for it are: "If you use this Asset multiple times during your turn, the second and any subsequent uses gain Advantage. If this Asset is attacked multiple times in the same turn, the second and any subsequent attacks gain Advantage. Attempts to remove this Asset instead remove this Mutation."
  • 3rd Edition, a.k.a. Fapp Climax, has the Multi Mod, which is basically the same as in 2nd Edition but running off of 3rd Edition's mechanics, as explained here: "Attacks and Contests made with or against this Asset roll twice and take the higher roll. If this Asset would be removed, remove this Mod instead."
• An occasional motif of followers of Slaanesh, the Chaos God(/dess) of Pleasure in Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000. One iteration of the models for the Daemonettes had anywhere from two to six breasts apiece. These were later changed back to more "traditional" styles (which could have zero, one or two breasts, most commonly one), to... mixed reactions. The Greater Daemon "The Keeper of Secrets", however, seems to commonly have six.

Video Games

• Female Iskai from Albion have two sets of breasts (and typically wear diagonal bras that leave two exposed), while the men have two sets of pectorals (nipples included).
• The Broodmothers of Dragon Age: Origins, which used to be women who were corrupted by the taint, display this trope and are completely unclothed. They are far from being arousing, however, as they are bloated, pale, vomit-smeared monstrosities with Combat Tentacles who exist only to produce thousands of darkspawn. The Mother of Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening is only slightly less disgusting, resembling more of a conventional human female. But don't try to kiss her if your mouth only opens one way.
• The Alien Queen in Duke Nukem Forever. Duke would still tap that if he wasn't busy hurling explosives at it for a Boss Battle.
• Clotho, the third Sister of Fate, in God of War II. Like the above example, however, it's far from arousing. It doesn't help that her appearance here completely contradicts the original Greek myth stating that she was the most beautiful of the three Sisters.
• The Vortigaunts in Half-Life, despite being extradimensional aliens, have four nipples. It's never stated whether they're males/females/asexual or even mammals at all though they DO have navels which would mean they're placental; then again, they ARE aliens with a third arm growing out of their chest.
• Heroes of the Storm sports a rare male example in the "Greed" skin for Cho'Gall. A reimagining of the two-headed Ogre-Mage as a demon of greed from Diablo (with the second head being an imp on his shoulder), the model has four saggy breasts, each with three visible nipples. The skin was quickly dubbed "Trip Nips," by the fandom.
• I Cannot Drown: Equipping the "Hunger" effect gives Ume the appearance of a spider-human hybrid, with three sets of mutilated, bandaged breasts accompanying it.

• The most common depiction of Satan in the Shin Megami Tensei series has several thin, saggy teats hanging from the humanoid part of his torso. He's also considered male.
  • Diana however takes the cake with sixteen breasts. Seven alone are on her head. Tiamat has quite a few on her lower body's chest and some on her upper body's chest as well.
• The Nali from Unreal. While only males appear in-game, there are frescoes of Vandora, the Nali goddess of thunder.
• In Wing Commander: The Secret Missions^note The first add-on for the original game. the Kilrathi priestess conducting the Sivar Eshrad ceremony on Firekka is shown with three sets of breasts, covered by a three-part bikini top type affair.^note Later, in the intro to Prophecy, the Kilrathi image is drawn with a single pair of human style breasts.

(a cosmetic sorcerer is trying to sell stick-on breasts that may or may not be parasitic abominations), and "Plenty" (a girl who has modified her body for extra breasts gets busy with a guy who has modified his for extra penises).
• Penny Arcade
  • Discussed in this strip.

• The medical conditions polymastia and polythelia, while they occur rarely in humans, do evoke this trope. However, due to such conditions only forming on milk lines for mammals (armpit to hip on either side), having it like Total Recall (1990) is very much Artistic License – Biology.
• Girls and women with polythelia might grow breast-like fatty tissue and milk glands under their extra nipples during the Breast Expansion associated with puberty or pregnancy. This could also hypothetically happen to a trans woman undergoing hormone replacement therapy.
