History Main / AHeadAtEachEnd

* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'' features the Sandigger, a worm enemy whose heads can only be damaged when either is active. ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', likewise, features the Dragotix, a dinosaur-like creature with a small, fire-breathing head at one end and a pair of massive jaws at the other end.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', after having a magical fight involving taking apart {[Voodoo Doll}}s of each other, Cosmo and Wanda spend a good portion of the plot trying to [[PullingYourselfTogether put themselves back together]]. At one point, they end up conjoined in this fashion.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'', the Seamstress is a mechanical horror with a doll's head at one end and [[spoiler: the salvaged upper body of a soul-drained stitchpunk]] at the other.

** In some [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphisbaenia worm lizards]], it's extremely difficult to distinguish the head from the tail without seeing an open mouth first. They can also move forward and backward.

* Human ConjoinedTwins born this way are called "ischiopagus" (coming from "ischium", meaning hip, and "pagus", meaning joined) and generally come in three flavors: with four legs (most common), three legs [[note]]Each twin having one leg and the both sharing one [[BodyHorror "fused" leg]], often with no motor control, misshapen bones, and ExtraDigits)[[/note]], or two legs (least common). Children born this way rarely live past childbirth, often due to said "logistical issues", such as one or both twins lacking a lower digestive system entirely. Those that do live past childbirth are usually separated early, as the two being conjoined often leads to one twin leaching nutrients from the other's lower digestive tract.

** And as if The Evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt needed anything else to be alien and disturbing other than staying true to her name, it turns out during the penultimate boss challenge that the rear end to her aforementioned gigantic butt has a mind of its ''own'' and even the name J. Alfred Maggot, which is much shorter and just as accurate to the main head.

** The pukeme-poopyou, a two-headed goat that continually ejects vomit/diarrhea from either end, filling a pool that the loser of a contest will have to jump into.

* ''Website/GoodbyeStrangers'': A few strangers have heads on both ends of their body such as the [[https://strangers.atrocityland.com/enter/site/module/elist/s_recurridaize.html recurridrizieri]] (which also contains at least two layers of smaller versions of itself) and the [[https://strangers.atrocityland.com/enter/site/module/red/s_miridraner.html miridraner]]. Oddly the miridraner's two head are not identical. Both heads have mouths but only one has lips. Several of the meoms also have heads on both ends.

* A pair of human ConjoinedTwins, known as the "snake twins", were born with two heads on opposite ends of a single long body.

* Referenced in the small mammal NatureDocumentary ''Tiny Giants'', when the narrator describes the desert centipede battled by the film's grasshopper mouse protagonist as a "two-headed monster". To the mouse, which closes its eyes to protect them and relies on its whiskers' tactile sensitivity to detect its opponent, the centipede's head and tail ends really would seem identical to the touch.

* ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'': Emperor-class Evronians grow another head on the tip of their long tails. Oddly enough, said head does all the talking and seems cognizant, while the "normal" head only serves to shoot blasts of energy.

* On one of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' "WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror" episodes, Bart puts Snowball II and Santa's Little Helper through a teleporter and they come out as two different pets: one with both heads, ("Twice the pet with none of the poop!") and [[InvertedTrope one with both butts]]. ("Eww! You can be Lisa's.")
** In another, regular episode, Burns and Smothers both play with a two headed dog at the plant. Implicitly it was mutated by the radiation.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': Diabound has a snake in place of its legs. The even more powerful Zorc Necrophades has a dragon-like head coming out of his crotch (which is poorly edited to come out of his chest in the English dub).

* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'' features the Sandigger, a worm enemy whose heads can only be damaged when either is active.
