===The Corinthian===
{{Main|Corinthian (comics)}}
'''The Corinthian''' is a nightmare created by Dream, of human appearance but with two small additional mouths in place of his eyes. He enjoys eating the eyeballs of people he kills.

The first version of the Corinthian is destroyed by Dream while speaking at a "Cereal Convention" for spending several unsupervised decades on Earth as a serial killer (in Dream's view, a waste of his potential), and it is shown in ''[[The Sandman: Overture]]'' (2013) that Dream intended to do this before his imprisonment.

Near the end of the series, Dream creates a second Corinthian, altering his personality to be obedient and useful rather than homicidal. In a later story in ''The Dreaming'', the second Corinthian is haunted by the actions of the first.

In the [[The Sandman (podcast)|podcast]], the Corinthian is voiced by [[Riz Ahmed]].

The Corinthian is portrayed by [[Boyd Holbrook]] in the Netflix series, having a more expanded role before the Doll's House arc. He is shown to manipulate circumstances regarding Ethel Cripps' death and behaves in a much less hostile way to Jed Walker, appearing to not desire to harm him. He is also shown as gay or pansexual in the series, often having sex with his male victims before killing them.
