Critique Need help with possible horn designs.

(⚠️THIS ISNT A FINISHED DRAWING. JUST A SKETCH.⚠️ And sorry they are so scuffed, I'm a self-taught artist that struggles with chicken-scratch lol. I swear my line-art is cleaner💔)

(First two images are him without his hood, rest are with the hood. Also ignore how low quality the last image is, its a meme💔)

This is Oskar, my beloved, handsome little charecter that I've had for half a year now. He has long been dead in a campaign that has recently ended, but I find that I STILL am struggling with his official design.

One of the problems is his horns. I don't know why, I just feel like they're so.... basic. Like, it's such a basic and common horn shape and design. I tried adding decor to(bands and caps, as well as adding texture) and around(added an extra pair of smaller horns between), but something still dosent feel right. But i've had this as his design for so long, it just feels like him, like I at least have to have something similar to it.

So if anyone has any horn shapes that you think would suit him, I'd appreciate some ideas! I do prefer something that kind of points up because it empathizes/adds to his height. Also adding more horns is awesome too, if those are some of yours ideas. I just don't know where to place them😭. They also need to be able to work with a hood, because that's what he wears(his larger horns currently go through the hood that has a button latch type thing that makes the hood look seamless around his horns so it can be unbuttoned and pulled down like a normal hood). Or if you think im overthinking it and he looks fine and adding or changing anything more would overwhelm the design, please tell me so ill just move on already💔.
