The nice thing about the Healing Factor is that it's capable of bringing characters back whole From a Single Cell, even with exactly their previous hairstyle! It's usually really cool to watch too, as entire limbs grow back in gorgeous CGI (or not). Usually this is helped along with liberal use of Shapeshifter Baggage to avoid that pesky "conservation of mass" physics insists is accurate. However, sometimes physics teams up with Horror and Squick and puts its foot down on these shenanigans... or rather, puts its foot on. A character who has Appendage Assimilation can regenerate from just about any wound, but with one caveat: he has to attach a working limb to that stump or consume an equal amount of bio-mass for the Healing Factor to work. So you'll have this character get torn and rent to pieces, then pull themselves together and keep fighting (and/or bantering) as if nothing had happened. Usually they never die to blood loss (which makes sense, as presumably the same power on a smaller scale works to keep their blood in their veins), and any lost limbs (head included) will still function and be reattachable, if not autonomous and capable of fighting. The root of this power varies; it may be because as The Virus, they can "assimilate" any and all organic matter into themselves regardless of compatibility (so they might improvise by attaching snakes to their arm stump). Or they might have powerful Nanomachines that can do just about anything provided enough biomass. Magical or demonic powers of some kind are also popular. As has been mentioned ad nauseam (pun intended), this power is not pretty to look at. Disturbingly, this can be taken even further though by having foreign limbs assimilate imperfectly. The skin won't match, the "seams" will look like burn wounds, mismatched limbs sizes are common, and if the character had to make do with two left feet, well, he can write off any dance competitions for a long while. The result of all this reattaching will be that they look like a gooey Frankenstein's Monster, though some have enough healing factor that they can make new limbs look like they're natural... err, that is to say, natural to their body. Others might decide to forgo using human limbs and graft whatever is "handy", eventually resulting in a Shapeshifter Mashup. To really freak out viewers and their enemies, they might be picky about whose limb(s) they use, like using limbs of a known powerful person or creature, or even use another character's face this way. Expect them to do a bit of Showing Off the New Body just to rub it in. Compare Partial Transformation and Cannibalism Superpower. |

Mermaid Saga: One of the creepier moments is seeing someone graft someone else's arm or leg onto her own body. Probably the creepiest is the woman who switches her face through this trope. It's completely voluntary too; she cuts off one face without anaesthetic to disguise herself with the new face — then later switches them back again. |

Radament from Diablo II is a mummy whose limbs were replaced with animal parts so he could be more effective at fighting graverobbers. The fact that he's started collecting and assimilating human limbs to reconstruct his body is the first sign that something has gone very wrong in the eastern deserts (i.e. Baal has been released). | |

Naruto: Juugo saves Sasuke's life by using his shapeshifting ability to turn a large chunk of his body mass into an improvised skin graft. However, this causes him to lose biomass and revert to the appearance of a teenager. In the next battle, he gets injured himself and heals his injury by stabbing an already fallen soldier with a stinger and absorbing his flesh, restoring his appearance (and voice intonation) back to that of a young man. Madara and Obito Uchiha are able to restore lost limbs by assimilating Zetsu biomass, and the latter has roughly half of his body comprised of it due to being crushed by boulders. |

In Kindergarten 2, the protagonist and Felix need Nugget to dig them a hole so they can bury Felix's twin brother Ted alive. Problem is, Nugget chewed off his own arm when he was trapped behind a sewer grate earlier, leaving behind only a bleeding stump. The protagonist is tasked with acquiring a "donation" to replace it, and after you do so, Nugget just sticks it on with little fanfare, now ready for digging. Unlike most examples on this page, this isn't an explicit power he has or anything. Nugget (and to a lesser extent, the game itself) is just weird like that. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Unit-01 does this against Zeruel, ripping it open and swallowing its S2 engine to use for herself. She also rips off the angel's right arm (tendril?) to make herself a new left one, with the Unit's flesh bursting out from the stump of her old arm to connect to and attach the new arm, which turns into a perfect replacement of her original one, lack of armour aside. The same example is averted in Rebuild: Instead, Unit-01 replaces its missing arm with a sort of prosthesis made out of its own AT field. | |

In Elden Ring, Godrick the demigod has grafted so many limbs onto his body that he's turned into a walking mountain of limbs, with several appendages visibly hanging on his shoulders, all to make up for the fact that he was the smallest and weakest of the demigods. He's no longer the smallest, but is still considered the weakest despite it all, and is always on the lookout for more strong limbs to graft. Halfway through his fight, he deliberately hacks off his own arm and grafts a dragon's head into it, which he can breathe fire out of. He's also responsible for creating several Grafted Scions out of what may have been his own children, who have been so twisted by additional limbs and flesh they now vaguely resemble spiders. | |

Inuyasha: Sesshomaru, after losing his arm, can steal the arms of other demons and attach them to the stump. Problem is, he's a ridiculously powerful demon, and every arm he uses becomes useless in the span of a day or two. Naraku offers him a human arm containing a shard of the Shikon jewel, which is sufficiently powerful for Sesshomaru to use, with the added benefit that it allows him to wield Inuyasha's anti-demon sword. Eventually, the arm bursts into flames. He later tries using a dragon's arm, but gives up on the practice after a related near-death experience. | |

Ben 10: Alien Force: In "Alone Together", The Highbreed named Reinrassic III loses his hand fighting against an insectoid creature, so Ben turns into Swampfire and reattaches Reinrassic's hand with his regenerative plant matter. This also had a side-effect of altering Reinrassic's DNA, which leads him to go into a self-imposed exile from his planet so he won't "infect" his fellow Highbreed. He later has a change of heart offscreen after realizing that the change is the key to saving his species, and after Ben alters the DNA of all the other Highbreed, Reinrassic convinces the Highbreed Supreme that it's the start of a new life, becoming the new Highbreed Supreme and finally ending the war peacefully. | |

Claymore: This is the only reliable Healing Factor that "Attack-type" Claymores have. They can regenerate complete limbs, but it takes months and the new limb will be vastly weaker than the original one, so if a severed limb is destroyed, they've lost it permanently. "Defense-type" Claymores, however, have the full Healing Factor and can completely regenerate limbs in very short order with no loss of limb strength. | |

The monster in Jeepers Creepers uses parts from his victims to keep himself alive. He attaches them by eating the parts, them growing on his body afterwards.

One Piece: Trafalgar Law has the ability to do this to other people (and himself), though it's not merely limited to living flesh. In a truly game-breaking example of this trope, he can slice anything from a distance with his sword and warp their fragments wherever he wishes, his only limitation being that he can only warp things a certain distance. In his mischievous nature, he has inserted a second torso between a man's torso and his legs, stuck a pair of (human) legs onto a dragon's back, and cut someone up into roughly twenty pieces and put each chunk on a metal railing. | |

Similar to the Bump in the Night example above, the Futurama episode "The Six Million Dollar Mon" has Hermes upgrading his entire body to be roboticized until he decides to replace his brain with a robot's. Zoidberg, who had been using Hermes's human parts for a ventriloquism act, puts the brain inside the dummy, restoring the original Hermes. | |

Giorno's Stand lets him turn non-living material into living tissue, even animals and fruit.

This is how the Flesh of My Flesh Caligo works in Princess: The Hopeful. A Darkling with this Caligo can heal its wounds either by eating human flesh and pushing it through their body to where it's needed or by just cutting off an appendage or chunk of flesh and pressing it to the wound. The flesh must be from a human, and has to be at least fresh enough to eat (which can be surprisingly old if the Darkling also has the Roteater Umbrum). | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: In Battle Tendency, Esidisi does this by taking an arm off a corpse to replace one that was severed in a fight, then remarks about how the arm "doesn't fit right". In Stardust Crusaders, DIO does this to an entire body after being reduced to a severed head back in Phantom Blood — Jonathan Joestar's body, to be exact. Golden Wind: Sticky Fingers' zippers allow Bruno to do this. It works both to swap arms between people and to replace severed appendages, such as Abbacchio's and Trish's hands.

This is how regeneration is described in 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons: A Dark Sun adventure from Dungeon 56 features the last troll on Athas, who's salvaged the severed limbs and heads of his necromantically slain fellows and grafted them onto himself. The issue's cover art resembles a troll version of a Vedic deity. The Heroes of Horror supplement contains a monster called a cadaver golem, the result of an accident in the creation of a flesh golem. It is highly intelligent (golems are usually mindless) and has the ability to swap out any of its body parts for those of other creatures, even the brain (which it can use to gain the learned skills of the victim). The artifacts the Hand and Eye of Vecna work this way. In order to use them, the character must remove his or her own eye and hand and replace them with Vecna's. This went on to spawn the Head of Vecna, which started in a homebrew game and went on to become official lore in two quests. The short version is that players were tricked by a rival group of players into thinking that they had found the Head of Vecna (really a normal skull), and when they tried to invoke this trope, they died deserved deaths. Grafts are this for the players, allowing them to switch out or add limbs, eyes, wings, organs, or other body parts from different monsters, such as dragons, beholders, fiends, constructs, elementals, or even undead. There is even a specialized prestige class called the Fleshwarper that focuses on this. |

Chronicles of Darkness: An optional Bestowment for Frankenstein characters in Promethean: The Created is "Spare Parts", which lets you heal your wounds and readjust your Physical Traits by adding, subtracting, or replacing bits of yourself. The sample character with the Bestowment is a Promethean nun who doesn't quite understand that "If your eye offend thee, pluck it out" wasn't meant to be taken literally. This is how the Flesh of My Flesh Caligo works in Princess: The Hopeful. A Darkling with this Caligo can heal its wounds either by eating human flesh and pushing it through their body to where it's needed or by just cutting off an appendage or chunk of flesh and pressing it to the wound.

Ariel from Drowtales can do this with her shapeshifting powers: At one point, she converts her leather cape into functional wings. After she loses her left arm thanks to her Ax-Crazy half sister Kalki, Snadhya'rune tells her that thanks to her powers, she's capable of doing this with the arm of another person related to her, and drags out a captured comrade to use as an unwilling "donor". Ariel, however, rejects using another soldier like this, but later pays Kalki back for the injury by stealing her arm. She also tries to re-attach her original arm this way after she finds it where Kalki dropped it, but fails because the arm is dead flesh: It's been left detached for too long. |

In Void Domain, it's relatively simple to replace a lost body part with a graft from a demon: there are No Biochemical Barriers, and the transplanted piece eventually resizes to fit the recipient. Eva Spencer gets replacement eyes and limbs, while Devon replaces a lost arm with a tentacle after unsuccessfully looking for a more conventional graft. Getting the pieces off the demon tends to be the tricky part. | |

In the last Revelation Space Series novel, Absolution Gap, we learn about the Scuttlers, a long-dead intelligent species of insect-like creatures who had this ability — and used it as part of their culture. A socially successful Scuttler had a unique set of appendages from trading them with others. Scientists who believe it was a natural ability (rather than the result of genetic manipulation) theorize that the Scuttlers evolved in the equivalent of a crowded lobster tank — an environment so hostile that it was advantageous not just to be able to drop limbs, but to reattach them if for some reason they didn't get eaten by the predator you were escaping from. | |

This is one of Cyborg Justice's schticks, along with having obtuse controller inputs. You can grind, saw, and pull parts off enemy cyborgs and claim them for your own. A cyborg consists of a body core, a set of legs, and two arms, and only the core is irreplaceable (since it contains your brain and power supply); it's not impossible to go into a level with one set of parts, then end that level with a completely different arrangement of limbs. | |
