A character in an animated work has no apparent hands, but yet still manages to pick things up and manipulate things as if they did. Some do have thumbs, some don't have thumbs, and some have thumbs appear when grasping something or gesturing, but disappear otherwise.
Can sometimes be a feature of a Super-Deformed design.
Subtrope of Invisible Anatomy.
Compare Magnet Hands and Four-Fingered Hands. See Bell-Bottom-Limbed Bots for the mechanical equivalent. If the character is an animal that actually doesn't have hands or fingers, but still manages to manipulate things as if they do, that's Feather Fingers.

Most characters in Noonbory and the Super 7 have the "mitten" variety of these. If they don't, expect them to have Four-Fingered Hands.

Everyone from Retarded Animal Babies. This is actually lampshaded in the Thanksgiving episode where Puppy actually forces Bunny to punch a turkey with brass knuckles, but Bunny cannot put them on because he has no fingers. Puppy then proceeds to cut up Bunny's hands so that he now has "fingers."

A lot of Tamagotchis in Tamagotchi lack fingers, including Series Mascot Mametchi. However, in the derivative Animated Adaptations from OLM Incorporated, they will spontaneously produce fingers when specific actions require it, such as (for example) giving a thumbs up.

BB/Balloon Boy in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has ball hands like the aforementioned Bomberman, except his has holes to hold his sign and balloon. Despite this, he's able to drop both items when crawling through the Left Vent and hold them again if he gets into the Office.note Fanon also claims he disables the flashlight by taking the batteries out - again, despite his lack of digits. His Nightmare counterpart in Five Nights at Freddy's 4, however, averts this by having Wolverine Claws.

Ayakashi Triangle:
Ponosuke is a vaguely human-shape pigeon ayakashi whose "arms" are flipper-like wings (separate from the wings on his back) that manipulative objects without any kind of Feather Fingers.
Lippy also has stubs for hands, but can still handle objects, including a smoking pipe. She also has stubs for feet, though she usually floats instead of walking.

A gag very early (the fourth panel of the story) in Homestuck is based on the fact that the characters are often drawn not only without fingers, but also without hands or even arms. It's later revealed that John has arms/hands/fingers, you just don't see see them unless he's actively using them to do something.

Everyone in the 3D-Era Grand Theft Auto games has fingerless hands due to the lack of detail in the 3D models. The fingers are only textured on the hands and never actually move separately despite their ability to use guns, drive, and operate vehicles.

Despite the many times Babar and his fellow elephants use their trunks to hold things, they tend to carry things with their hooves. Notably in Babar: The Movie, Arthur is seen balancing a bowl of cereal on one hand, and in the sequel series Babar: The Adventures of Badou, one scene shows a few of the castle staff letting loose and playing electric guitars, though not with their trunks.

Harpies, Wyverns and Vampires in Monster Musume don't really have fingers aside from thumbs since they have wings for arms. While they are able to grasp things, they're not nearly as dextrous as human hands.
Similarly, Leechi the leech girl basically has mittens for hands.

The Powerpuff Girls (1998) is possibly the Trope Codifier and was previously the Trope Namer.
Lampshaded in an episode in which the Powerpuff Girls end up switching bodies with Professor Utonium, Miss Bellum and the Mayor, leading to Buttercup having trouble using Professor Utonium's hands. She just kind of waves it around behind the phone, without moving the fingers at all, apparently expecting it to automatically stick to her hand as usual.
Lampshaded again when they play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets stuck with an unwanted chore. Somehow, they're able to determine who drew what... and Bubbles always loses.
Yet again when the Girls are forced to travel by foot and they complain that their feet clearly aren't meant for walking. Buttercup doesn't mind so much, though, smugly noting she's "using muscles I didn't even know I had!"
One MAD sketch lampshades this trope as well when they spoof it with 2 Broke Girls.
When Mojo Jojo hosted Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, he would joke about how the girls were apparently beating him with "flippers".
Another subtle lampshade happens in "Oops, I Did It Again", which shows a What If? scenario where Chemical X was never mixed into the brew that made the Powerpuff Girls. This would result in three average, powerless girls... with fingered hands.

Doraemon doesn't have any visible fingers, yet he is able to do things normal people can do, with some minor appearance of his fingers. That's because he has a sticky-thing on each of his hands.note It's an extremely localized magnetic field, apparently, since he's a robot. He also hates the fact that he can only play rock in rock, paper, scissors.

Lampshaded in one My Little Pony: Equestria Girls special. Sunset Shimmer, a unicorn who has lived as a human in a parallel dimension for several years, briefly returns to Equestria to retrieve a magic book. She tries to pick it up using her hooves, but all she can do is helplessly paw at it before another character reminds her that she has magic.

Some Super Mario Bros. enemies like Shy Guys and Boos lack hands, but still grip their equipment just fine in the Mario Sports games. When someone asked Nintendo Power how this worked, they said that when they asked them how they gripped their tennis rackets in Mario Tennis, Shy Guy said something about a complex series of magnets while Boo just muttered something about "sticky ectoplasm".

One Piece has Chopper, who doesn't have stubs for hands, but does have reindeer hooves. While he can shapeshift into forms with human hands, he prefers to do the majority of his medical work with his less dexterous hoof-hand hybrids. The author made an attempt in the Q&A section to explain with an illustration of Chopper using them like tongs.

In the first Splatoon, Inkling models have no toes, likely because their bare feet were never intended to be seen during normal gameplay. From Splatoon 2 onwards, they (and Octolings) have properly rendered toes, which allows for more footwear options including flip-flops, sandals, or even no shoes at all.

Questionable Content:
Pintsize the anthro-pc's featureless limb-bulbs are lampshaded both in-universe and in the alt-text at various times. Other anthro-pcs of the same design appear as background characters.
Momo also appears initially as a chibi design with no hand or foot detail, although she can handle objects as the plot requires (at one point, fighting a squirrel with a kendo sword). She also claims to be able to carry out light housework.

Many characters in The Amazing World of Gumball have hands without any fingers or clear separation between their hands and arms, including Darwin (fins), Carrie (rounded "ghost hands"), and Idaho and Banana Joe (who both have lines for arms). Any of them may grow fingers and/or thumbs when they need to use them. The Robinson family and Jamie's season three design have thumbs, but singular blocks for fingers.

All Chao in Sonic the Hedgehog, excluding the mutant Chaos. The non-human cast also lack toesnote This is most likely because since most of them wear shoes full-time, their feet design doesn't matter much, but this is more obviously seen with Big the Cat, Tikal the Echidna, and Darkspine Sonic. Averted in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic books, where the Sonic characters are depicted with toes when seen without their shoes.

Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger have thumbless, fingerless hands like those of The Powerpuff Girls. Pooh and Tigger also have thumbs that appear only when grasping something or gesturing. Justified in that they're stuffed animals.

Subverted in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. Ilulu isn't very good at turning into human form, and her attempt at forming hands manifests as stubby balls on the end of her arms (though she gets better as the story progresses). However, she can still hold things with them because they're made up of thousands of smaller hands. Much Memetic Mutation ensued about this horrifying explanation for the trope.

In Flower Fairy, the four fairy companions Kukuru, Luna, Lushu, and Lulu, in their chibi-like forms, all have little fingerless stubs where their hands would be... usually. There is at least one occasion where Kukuru spontaneously gains a proper hand with fingers for a few seconds.

Basically every single character in Animal Crossing. The human Player Character is portrayed without fingers, but still manages to do anything a normal human can do. And more obviously, all of the animal villagers can also do every mundane activity without trouble. How can a bird villager write with their wings? How can a deer villager use a fishing rod with their hooves? How can a cat villager use a bug-catching net with their paws? Smug-type villagers in New Leaf will even mention being able to play the acoustic guitar, even though they're a mouse, or koala, or horse, or...

In Minecraft, the player's hands are solid cubes, yet are able to hold and use items. Parodied in this animation by scratchU8, which uses audio from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Jellyfishing". scratchU8's Minecraft avatar gets impaled by the diamond pickaxe.

Pony from It's Pony lacks having actual hands, yet he can use his hooves to pick up things like a fork and a fishing rod without a problem. Lampshaded by the creator himself in his drawing live stream where he explains how Pony is able to hold stuff, like trying to position his hooves to face the back, where he can hold objects so you wouldn't see it to give the illusion that it's stuck to his hooves.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Horses can grab things with their hooves in a human-like manner, but this is usually averted due to the show's penchant for Furry Reminder. Most of the time, ponies use their mouths, wings, or magic to manipulate objects. Word of Saint Paul says any time this trope does happen is a writing issue that the storyboarders couldn't figure out a good solution to, such as one script requiring a character to use a pointer and speak at the same time. Fans that don't subscribe to the MST3K Mantra theorize that the in-universe reason is ponies being able to use a biological version of Granular Jamming.
Cello and fiddle-playing ponies like Octavia Melody and Fiddly Faddle usually avert this by using the articulations between hoof, fetlock, and pastern to manipulate the strings and bow of their instruments.
Lampshaded in one My Little Pony: Equestria Girls special. Sunset Shimmer, a unicorn who has lived as a human in a parallel dimension for several years, briefly returns to Equestria to retrieve a magic book. She tries to pick it up using her hooves, but all she can do is helplessly paw at it before another character reminds her that she has magic.

Kirby is able to wield swords, hammers, and umbrellas among other weaponry with his stubby little arms. The official art of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror does show his arms wrapped around objects and his cell phone only having two buttons, making it slightly more believable but in the game itself objects just hang on the end of his arms.

The way most characters were drawn in the early episodes of South Park, they only appeared to have thumbs, but they did gain fingers in order to perform certain tasks or emphasize with their hands, in the later episodes their fingers are more visible and the guest stars fingers are usually more pronounced.

In Happy Tree Friends, every character except Lumpy has only thumbs visible most of the time, but they still show fine motor control, such as clenching objects and manipulating small devices.
Handy loses this ability when he's on screen (what with having amputated arms).

Pucca doesn't have fingers, neither does anyone in Sooga. This was lampshaded when a character wanted to call on a phone but couldn't dial, when she asked how this works, the others only look at their own hands and answer "I don't know."

Homestar Runner: Strong Bad has boxing gloves for hands, yet still displays excellent fine motor control, such as typing on a keyboard with ease. He's very tired of people asking how that works. He can also flip you the bird... somehow.
Homestar can also allegedly flip the bird, despite his lack of visible hands (and arms), though it's unclear whether Homestar did make said gesture or not; it's possible that Strong Bad was no more able to tell what Homestar was doing than the viewers were, and merely guessed.
The Cheat, Bubs, and Pom Pom lack distinguishable hands, but they can manipulate things just fine (and as with Strong Bad and Homestar, Pom Pom can flip the bird). Coach Z does have hands, but they're more like mittens, with a thumb and one big finger. Marzipan doesn't have any arms, but can still operate things just fine.
In the email "fingers", Strong Bad stuck various objects onto his gloves as "fingers" in order to get people to stop asking how he types "with boxing gloves on", only to find that he was suddenly having much more difficulty typing than normal. In "Doomy Tales of the Macabre", his boxing gloves were replaced with human hands, and the experience left him bewildered and deeply disturbed — he had no idea how to type with them.

Doctor H. of Happy Heroes has the "mitten hand" variety, but only in the first two episodes. After that, he gets Four-Fingered Hands like the rest of the characters (or the ones that have proper hands; the generic robot citizens have two-fingered pincers instead).
