show one's horns
выказать природное злонравие, обнаружить злобность характера

I never did trust that smiling face of his nor his protestations of virtue and charity. Last night, just for a moment, he forgot himself and showed his horns unmistakably. You be careful of him. He's as venomous as a snake. (SPI) — Мне никогда не внушала доверия улыбающаяся физиономия этого типа, старавшегося прослыть добродетельным и щедрым человеком. Но вчера вечером он забылся на минуту и предстал в своем дьявольском обличье. Будьте с ним осторожны: он ядовит как змея.
