* The ''Literature/BookOfRevelation'' contains descriptions of locusts who have the bodies of lions, tails of scorpions, and faces of men (which incidentally makes them resemble [[OurManticoresAreSpinier manticores]]). As well, the cherubs (not to be confused with putti, winged babies of Renaissance art) are said to have the face of a man as well as those of an ox, lion, and eagle. While most angels looked like winged humans, there are some types that look like borderline {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.

* ''Literature/TheBible'' contains quite a few beings of this kind:
** The Serpent of Eden is sometimes portrayed as a snake with a human head as seen in John Roddam Spencer Stanhope's "Eve Tempted". In "The Fall of Man", the Serpent barely looks like a serpent at all, more of a salamander who's able to walk on its hind legs. Both paintings go against many depictions of the serpent of being a baby-faced beauty (see "The Fall of Man" by Titian) or regular snake by making him(?) [[BeautyEqualsGoodness ugly]] and [[ObviouslyEvil clearly up to no good]].
** The Four Living Creatures (AKA Hayyoth), from Ezekiel's vision in the book of the same name, described them as having four faces each, one of which was a human face, along with having two set of wings.

* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': When the Anti-Spiral starts getting serious, it deploys warships resembling clusters of human limbs and faces, supported by fleets of smaller fighters shaped like hands and feet ''also'' covered in human faces. This is in contrast to the faceless Mugann drones it was using before, and to the much less creepy mecha-style faces on all the heroes' machines, foreshadowing how the Anti-Spiral is fundamentally their EvilCounterpart.
