Horn Again

Pre-previously on Overlord-in-terms-of-Core-Issues-around-Maximal-Engagement-with-Key-Notions-of-the-Über-Feral, I interrogated issues around this shape, the horned triangle:

Horned Triangle (more details)


Now I want to look at the tricorn (from Latin tri-, “three”, + -corn, “horn”). It’s like a horned triangle, but has three horns instead of one:

Tricorn, or three-horned triangle


These are the stages that make up the tricorn:

And there’s no need to stop at triangles. Here is a four-horned square, or quadricorn:

And a five-horned pentagon, or quinticorn:

And below are some variants on the shapes above. First, the reversed tricorn:

Finally (and ferally), the pentagonal octopus or pentapus:
