- The chance of having conjoined twins is as much as 1 in 100,000; the chance of those twins surviving infancy is 25%. As of 2008, there are under 2,000 conjoined twins in the world, and about a dozen are living in the United States. You're more likely to get struck by lightning — twice! — than to meet a conjoined twin. But don't tell that to Hollywood — according to them, the chance of our heroes meeting two people who share one body is higher. Much higher. Examples of Conjoined Twins include:
- Conjoined twins are identical twins whose bodies fuse in utero and have shared tissue after birth. They are far rarer than most other forms of multiple births, rarer that triplets, but somewhat more common than quadruplets. About half of conjoined twins are stillborn. The mechanism of conjoined twins is still poorly understood. Identical twins are formed when the developing embryo splits in two during development. It is believed that conjoined twins form when the two separate eggs join back together somewhat later in development when cells begin to differentiate from stem cells.

But don't tell that to Hollywood — according to them, the chance of our heroes meeting two people who share one body is higher. Much higher. Conjoined Twins combine Creepy Twins with Body Horror: Imagine being attached to another person, the same one person, for your entire life. Freaky stuff. As such, they are a staple of horror and any show that wants to unsettle its viewers. They are a must at carnival freak shows. If the twins aren't just background characters, most other Twin Tropes will apply. Some cases may literally have been Separated at Birth. Multiple Head Case is a subtrope, about the tendency of beings with two heads to have opposite personalities. For our purposes, people who aren't born twins but somehow still get fused together apply. With the exception of such artificial fusions, depictions of this trope which connect in places other than the body's axis (head, neck, or torso) are a Did Not Do the Research. Conjoined twins are also Always Identical Twins; those that aren't are likely running on Rule of Funny. Conjoined Twins are a real phenomenon, and have been around pretty well forever. They became prominent in the 1800s, with the rise of carnival freak shows; the most famous pair was Chang and Eng Bunker, the original "Siamese twins," who were connected at the sternum. Most of the examples below are taken from The Other Wiki's page. Examples of Conjoined Twins include:

It is believed that conjoined twins form when the two separate eggs join back together somewhat later in development when cells begin to differentiate from stem cells. In many cases, depending on how closely the two twins are tied together and what tissue they share, they can be separated by surgery. However, such surgery is dangerous if the twins share common organs, particularly when they are joined at the skull.
