Countless of works, especially commercials, feature parts of the human body with their own separate personalities and desires. The body part in question usually has something to do with the product being sold, and may or may not be connected to a full human body. For when the individually-sentient parts of the body are depicted as humanoids, see Anthropomorphized Anatomy. Compare Brain Monster, Giant Hands of Doom. Examples |

Several of the patients in Awful Hospital, though they prefer the term "free-roaming unisystemic vessels:" Thanks to the metaphysics of the setting, an ambulatory stomach can spend its time digesting, even though it's as far removed from any mouth or oesophagus as a human in London might be from the stretch of Amazon rainforest that produced their last lungful of oxygen. | |

In Monster Pulse, this is practically the entire premise. A mysterious energy somehow "infects" people and brings a randomly-chosen body part or organ to life as a separate, autonomous being. Unlike most of the examples on this page, they don't have human-level intelligence; they can vocalize and understand orders, but are only a little bit smarter than a well-trained animal. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-1319 consists of a researcher's individual upper and lower halves who got fed up with each other and decided to split — literally. What's really bizarre about this example (besides the obvious) is that neither half of his body exhibits the personality of the original researcher; they're both entirely separate entities. | |

During the Old World Blues dlc for Fallout: New Vegas one of the final confrontations is with your own brain, which you must convince to rejoin you. Also averted in the same dlc. Several wandering opponents seem to be animated skeletons wearing body armor. They turn out to be Y-17 Trauma Harnesses, devices designed to fight a defensive action while autonomously evacuating the wounded soldiers wearing them. The suits couldn't tell if the wearer survived the wounds, couldn't tell friend from foe, and couldn't identify where they were supposed to take the wounded. The suits are animated (and hostile); the skeletons are just all that's left of the people they were supposed to protect. |

Dwarf Fortress: Various severed body parts — including skin and hair — can be reanimated by Necromancers and clouds of gas in evil biomes. This wasn't initially intentional, but Toady decided to Throw It In! on the grounds that it didn't actually make any less sense than animated skeletons. | |

Promethean: The Created has "pandorans", created when someone fails to make a complete artificial human and instead end up with a bunch of animated organs and limbs. They're fueled by the same energy source as Prometheans (who tend to leak power), so that they come to life when one comes near, but otherwise will become dormant and look like ordinary objects if they run out of energy. | |

The Disney short Inner Workings anthropomorphizes a man's organs. The main conflict is between the carefree, party-loving heart and the serious, risk-avoiding brain. Other organs like the lungs, the intestines and the urine bladder have minor roles. | |

The original Earthworm Jim game has the penultimate boss, "Doc Duodenum", a sentient self-aware piece of small intestine from a giant alien lifeform. According to the manual, he got bored of his old life and left his host; despite his level "Intestinal Distress" being a Womb Level that resembles the interior of a giant set of digestive organs, it's actually not supposed to be his original boss. He's somewhat obscure in the fandom, as he only appeared in the original Sega versions of the game and was cut from all Nintendo versions, only to finally be restored in the 2010 Updated Re Release. | |

One particularly strange Gumby short (called "Gone Clayzy") showed Gumby accidentally managing to pop the signature slant on his head off after knocking it into himself after falling off a tower of blocks. Independent of the now unconscious Gumby, the slant comes to life and proceeds to torment Prickle for a while until Prickle manages to reattach it to Gumby's head. And even after that, the slant comes to life one more time to give a brief Evil Laugh, to Gumby's confusion. | |

At least two Peanuts strips had various parts of Snoopy's body expressing opinions of their own—usually connected with jogging, which meant the feet said a lot. One of these strips ended when his heart commented, "Just remember, boys - if I go, we all go!" to which the feet remarked, "That's scary!" and another part said, "Shut up and keep jogging." | |

On an episode of It's Garry Shandling's Show, Garry failed the written portion of his driver's license renewal test. Upset with his brain for being so stupid, he hooks a camera up to his TV and points it into his head so he can see his brain. The screen reveals a fat guy (character actor Stuart Pankin) lying in a hammock, who berates Garry for not challenging him enough, and they make a deal with each other: Garry will stimulate his brain more, and the brain will work with him. While they have this conversation, other body parts come to visit the brain, including a short, bald man referred to as "Mr. P" (pancreas) and his larynx ( Dave Coulier), with whom he argues. | |

In the night-time omnibus editions of UK soap Night and Day, the character Will Radcliffe is frequently spoken to by a voice emanating from just below his waist. 'Little Will', who speaks in a deep American accent, is solely preoccupied with matters sexual, as one might expect - but other characters are apparently unable to hear him. | |

Terraria brings us the Eye and Brain of Cthulhu, two early-game bosses. The Eye returns during the Final Boss as the True Eye of Cthulhu, a minion summoned by the Moon Lord. The Twins would qualify for this trope, except for the fact that they’re robots. It's also implied that the Eater of Worlds is also part of Cthulhu, though there's some debate over whether it's his spine or his intestines. | |
