I need some more head canons about Johnny's horns and stuff! So I am looking to you wonderful people to help. I'll give you guys some discussion ideas to start off with Age - How old was he when they began growing, as soon as he began to teeth or during puberty (or other) Sensitivity - Do you think his horns have nerves in them? would it tickle to touch them, or hurt if one broke (or could be potentially not notice they had broken?) I also heard a head canon where they are naturally rough like tree bark but he always smooths them out (like shaving in the morning?) What are your opinions on this I know its a pretty silly and specific subject XD So hopefully some people can have fun with it

I feel horns are like teeth to us. We out grow our baby teeth and then we grow our permanent teeth. That's how I see the horns. They lose them once as a kid, then they grow their permanent horns.
I also feel like the sensitivity in horns don't kick in until puberty. Each monster is different when it comes to sensitivity. In Johnny's case, touch can set him off in a sexual way. (boom shakalaka, Johnny~ >.>) If one were to break, it would be permanent and never grow back unless they get one made out of metal or steel or something along those lines. Kinda like a prosthetic.

Poor Johnny! You be careful with your horns there buddy XD I am not sure what my opinion is on shedding yet, but I do agree that they are sensitive, which most monsters would not guess he does not want monsters using it against him. Any opinions on Sulley's horns? while we are on the ultra specific horn subject? XD (Maybe I should make a similar post in the Sulley forum? XD)

I feel like he has to shave his horns or they will grow unruly

What are your opinions on this I know its a pretty silly and specific subject XD So hopefully some people can have fun with it I always imagined that Johnny got his horns fairly early in life (hence the pic I drew of him as a toddler with horns.) He's a scary monster, so I assume that he started becoming scary early on. I don't think his horns are sensitive (or hope) it wouldn't hurt him if he got one of them chipped in some way. I'm positive they aren't ticklish, as cute as that would be. XD BUT, then, anything is possible in the Monster world, so who knows. ...I don't know why, but the idea of Johnny smoothing out his horns is, kinda sexy. I bet they have horn polish in Monstropolis. He seems to be a very well-groomed guy!

I think his horns started to grow when he was very small. (I also think that some monsters choose not to have very large horns, so they put de-horning paste to limit the growth, the same way ranchers might put paste on bulls.)
It's possible he could damage his horns in a fight, perhaps wound them so badly they would have to be removed surgically. I don't think he could grow replacement horns, the way deer replace their antlers. This is just my guess though.

I would assume that they grow like bovid horns, with a keratin covering over a bony sheath that would grow throughout his life.They look a whole lot like a gaur's horns. I wouldn't think they'd be sensitive, though; not any more than you hair or fingernails are sensitive.
