While re-watching Demon Slayer, I noticed that each of the three copies of the
swamp demon has a number of horns that seem to correlate to which copy they
are:

one.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/iYwNl.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/iYwNl.jpg)

Notice here that each copy has a different number of horns ranging from one to
three. After reviewing [the wiki on the swamp
demon](https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Swamp_Demon), it seems there is no
significance outside of numbering each replica:

> His first body had one horn on its head, the second had two that took the
> place of its eyebrows, and the third had all three horns

* * *

Is there any documented significance to the swamp demon's horns, outside of
correlating to the replica number?
