If you want to emphasize that your character is somehow "different" from everyone else, you can underline this by giving them a physical deformity; one of the most popular options is extra digits. The reason for this choice is simple: unlike many other deformities which look "obviously wrong" and therefore repulsive at first sight, a sixth finger or a toe may look perfectly normal and not be noticeable unless one deliberately counts them. Depending on the Writer, it can be either an obvious defect (probably symbolizing covert malignity of the person) or a Sexy Flaw emphasizing how adorably unconventional the character is. It may also serve a functional purpose: with extra digits, the character may be able to do something no one else can (like playing certain piano compositions). Often, it is relevant to the plot because it reveals that a character is secretly related to another character with the same trait, or it otherwise says something about their ancestry. It can also serve to distinguish the character if a description of them is necessary: if you're looking for a six-fingered man, it's easier to just say that than to describe features such as age and hair color that could apply to lots of people. Non-human entities, animals or monsters do not qualify for this trope, with the exception of human-like species who are only distinguished from humans by a different number of digits. Contrast Four-Fingered Hands, which is usually just used in animation to make human hands easier to draw, and Off-Model, where a character may be accidentally given this trait in an animation error. In Real Life, this condition is called polydactyly. Sometimes the finger is just a flesh stub, but in rarer cases, it's an actual, functional sixth finger. In the latter case, this condition is actually Cursed with Awesome: studies show that people with functional sixth fingers are able to perform tasks better than the others, and develop extra brain functions. Interestingly, extra digits are actually a dominant trait over the recessive five digits. This is likely due to the fact that the earliest tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) actually had as many as eight digits per limb, though later tetrapods reduced it to a maximum of five. The genes to create extra digits remain, but are inactive. For more prurient examples of extra body parts, see Multiboobage and Triple Nipple. For aliens see Spare Body Parts. A race with a different amount of digits is likely to use an Alternative Number System. Examples |

In Umineko: When They Cry, Kinzo has six toes which is used to identify his corpse. They're also shared by his bastard child Sayo Yasuda/Lion Ushiromiya, who had them amputated to try and hide their true identity after they were assumed dead, but it left scars that Kinzo noticed and clued him in to their relationship. Interestingly none of Kinzo's legitimate children seem to have inherited this trait, which may or may not be because Kinzo was Sayo/Lion's father and grandfather. | |

The Simpsons sometimes play with Four-Fingered Hands by treating five fingers as unusual. God is consistently drawn with five fingers. In "Lady Bouvier's Lover", Homer worries that if his father and Marge's mother get married, they'll become siblings, and their kids will instantly become mutants with "five fingers on each hand!" | |

A Twitch streamer, Polydactyl66 has her brand built around the fact that she has a sixth fully-formed and functional finger on each hand. Her left thumb is also split in a Y shape from its knuckle and has two nails. More recently, she plays with a keyboard cam so viewers can more easily confirm that she does indeed have six fingers. | |

Douzi from Farewell My Concubine was born with a sixth finger. At the beginning of the film, his prostitute mother begs the opera school to take him, and when they refuse due to his sixth finger, she drags Douzi out into an alley and chops it off with a cleaver. She then drags him back, they take him, and she's never seen again. | |

In Red Dragon and its sequels, Hannibal Lecter has six fingers on his left hand, as a metaphor for "being a monster" (and also a great boon to his piano skills). He uses this to his advantage when hiding an improvised handcuff key in his right hand, knowing the officer's attention will be on his unusual left hand. This detail was cut from the movies and TV shows. | |

In Alice, Girl from the Future, Iria Gai has 6 toes on her feet because she is actually an alien from the planet Vester (this planet's inhabitants are distinguished from humans by their lilac eyes and 12 toes). | |

In Bruce Almighty, Bruce has God say how many fingers he has extended behind his back so the latter can prove his identity. At one point Bruce tries to pull a trick where he initially extends seven fingers (all five on his right hand and two on his left) only to abruptly close the two fingers on his left hand. God says seven, and Bruce holds up his right hand with a smug "Hah!", only to see that his right hand suddenly has seven fingers. The extra fingers immediately disappear after Bruce frantically shakes his hand around. | |

In Gattaca, the protagonist and his girlfriend at one point see a concert by a pianist who was genetically engineered to have twelve fingers. There are apparently enough people like this around that some pieces of piano music require extra fingers to play. | |

Warrior Cats: The former official app noted that Blackstar has six toes on one paw. In the sixth series, the Clans receive an omen that says they must find a cat with a six-toed paw. This cat ends up being the loner, Tree. We also discover in Tree's Roots that Tree's father, Root, had a six-toed paw too, and it's one of the things that helped the two realize that they were father and son. As noted in the Real Life section, this is in fact fairly common in cats. |

Done as a gag on the Tex Avery MGM Cartoon "The Hick Chick". A chicken complains that her dance partner has twenty toes, a '40s slang term for a bad dancer. Naturally, Avery takes the line literally, showing the rooster with ten toes on each foot (and human feet as well). A similar gag was done in "Billy Boy", where the titular goat eats off the farmer's shoe. To his relief, he still has the ten toes on his foot. |

In Gravity Falls, the author of the journals, Stanford Pines, has six fingers on each hand. Word of God jokingly confirmed in a reddit AMA that he also has six toes on each foot. This is notable further because he has a twin who doesn't have these features, which is highly improbable if not impossible. | |
