Giant Hands of Doom | comment |
A character, usually a video game boss, who fights primarily with giant hands. Due to the versatility of the human hand, this provides a large variety of attacks, not to mention the inexplicable bombs, missiles, etc. they'll inevitably drop. Sometimes, the hands will be accompanied by a giant head. Expect this to be the weak spot, especially the eyes. Bonus points if the hands have eyes on them, too. Expect a certain number of common attacks across games: The ever-popular punch. Grabbing your character and squeezing. Walking on two fingers. Laser beams (especially popular if the head appears). Making a gun with its fingers and somehow firing a real projectile. Whatever the designer thought of by waving their hands around, basically. Often done by way of Cognizant Limbs. Sometimes done with Floating Limbs. Compare Creepy Long Fingers. See also Giant Foot of Stomping (in some cases, a character may be capable of using both). |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: On each side of the Twilight Palace, Link must remove a Sol from one of Zant's Hands and carry it outside through several complicated rooms while continually being chased by the hand. If the hand succeeds in grabbing a Sol, it will carry it back to the last room and force Link to start all over again. | |

Star Fox 64: Andross uses these. Ever since his appearance in this particular game he is almost always depicted as a giant floating head and hands, with no explanation of how he got that way. His nephew Andrew tries to ape his uncle's "head and hands" schtick in Assault by transforming his flagship into a giant head and hands. Falco notices the similarities and calls him "An Andross wannabe." |

Pokémon Sword and Shield: Eternatus' Eternamax form, the Climax Boss, is a more straightforward example than Haunter, as this form is fought only as a boss and the only part of it in range of the battlefield is a giant hand that appears to have a thumb on both sides. However, the only typical hand boss action it does is swat its hand on the battlefield. | |

Mario & Luigi: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga: Cackletta's Ghost consists of a torso flanked by two floating claws. You have to destroy the head and hands before the heart is revealed. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: Dreamy Bowser, the final boss, has this to a lesser extent. You only have to destroy the right hand to attack the head, but the left hand can grab one of the bros, forcing you to attack it to get him back. While the other final bosses of the series, the Elder Princess Shroob's second form and the Dark Star Core, fight similarly, only these two actually utilize this trope to a notable extent. |

The Legend of Zelda: The infamous Wallmasters, in multiple entries, might be the first examples from the company and are easily among the earliest, though they are not bosses, just mook bouncers. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Link battles Bongo Bongo standing on a giant drum, while the boss hangs from the ceiling of its room and using its detached, floating hands to beat down at Link and the drum alike. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games: Ramrock from Ages is a floating stone head and hands that animates when Link comes near. It fights by firing its fists at Link, later moves on to chasing after Link and trying to crush under its palms, then shifting gears to using Eye Beams, and finally turning its hands into miniature cannons. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Gohdan is a floating stone head flanked by a pair of floating stone hands. It attacks by trying to push Link into electric pits and clapping its hands on Link. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Mazaal is a mechanical head-and-hands set that fights by bringing its fists down on Link and sweeping a hand across the arena to catch him. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: On each side of the Twilight Palace, Link must remove a Sol from one of Zant's Hands and carry it outside through several complicated rooms while continually being chased by the hand. If the hand succeeds in grabbing a Sol, it will carry it back to the last room and force Link to start all over again. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: The Gloom Spawn are amorphous conglomerations of arms with eyes in their palms that try to grab at Link when he enters their territory. Like everything else associated with Gloom, they cause Maximum HP Reduction when they hit you. |

The Legend of Vox Machina is based on the Dungeons and Dragons actual play streaming show Critical Role where the character Scanlan makes extensive use of the Bigby's Hand spell — a roughly 5ft tall semi-transparent purple hand he can use to fight; however as they don't have the license for that name it become's Scanlan's hand. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario 64: Eyerok is two hands made out of rock with large eyeballs on the palms. Unsurprisingly, these eyes are also a weak point. Super Mario Galaxy has Bouldergeist, a big blockheaded ghost with giant destructible (but regenerating) hands of stone. He also shoots rocks that turn into exploding ghosts. Super Mario Odyssey: Knucklotec is a floating stone head with two floating stone hands next to it. Mario needs assume control over them and make him punch himself in the face. Wario Land 3: Rudy the Monster Clown, the final boss, stays in the background of the fight, and attacks with his fists that are kept in the foreground. The "grabbing and squeezing" attack is also the only way in the whole game to get a Game Over. Wario World: Ironsider consists of a a broken minotaur statue and a pair of floating stone hands it controls. It can be defeated by throwing or pile-driving one of its hands into its head. |

Donkey Kong '94: After you seemingly beat Donkey Kong for the final time, it turns out that there's one more boss fight with the big ape left. After his fall from the tower in the previous level, Donkey Kong absorbs a ton of Super Mushrooms and grows into a giant gorilla in a battle where he uses his newfound giant fists to try and crush you. In order to beat him you need to hit his head with barrels six times instead of the usual three. | |

Pokémon: Haunter has the shape of a head-and-hands boss, although its stronger evolution that's more likely to be used as a boss, Gengar, lacks these. Pokémon Sword and Shield: Eternatus' Eternamax form, the Climax Boss, is a more straightforward example than Haunter, as this form is fought only as a boss and the only part of it in range of the battlefield is a giant hand that appears to have a thumb on both sides. However, the only typical hand boss action it does is swat its hand on the battlefield. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Lava Reef's miniboss is comprised of two threats, one of them being a giant hand that rises from the lava below and tries to crush Sonic. In the first stage of the final boss fight, you must destroy all six of its Malicious Fingers. Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island: The boss of the Rusty Ruin Zone attacks solely by trying to crush Sonic with its conveniently platform-shaped paws. One stage of the final boss features two disembodied hands that first try to crush him, then to run him over by racing across the arena. Sonic Advance 2: The Egg Saucer is basically a giant wheel-like vehicle with the cockpit and weak point, a laser, and a huge hand. The hand hurts like hell, and if it hits you directly, you are likely to die instantly. Makes this That One Boss. Sonic Advance 3: Hyper Eggrobo attacks with such hands, and you have to use them as platforms to hit the boss. |

Final Fantasy Adventure: The final form of Julius is technically one of the "disembodied head and hands" variety, even though all he did was teleport and shoot fireballs. This was apparently a fan-favorite boss, however, as one of the most common complaints about the remake Sword of Mana is that this form wasn't present. | |

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: Dreamy Bowser, the final boss, has this to a lesser extent. You only have to destroy the right hand to attack the head, but the left hand can grab one of the bros, forcing you to attack it to get him back. While the other final bosses of the series, the Elder Princess Shroob's second form and the Dark Star Core, fight similarly, only these two actually utilize this trope to a notable extent. | |

Hitting the hands provokes dangerous counterattacks, but you'll want to steal from each of them to get some valuable equipment.

Ōkami The final form of Yami, the final boss is a giant hand attached to an orb. This is repeated in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, where Yami is again the final boss. Its grab super is downright lethal. In the sunken ship area, there is a room where a giant seaweed monster lives. When you enter the room, two gigantic hands rise out of the water and attempt to crush Ammy and/or push her off into the waters below. Fortunately, the monster can be killed by draining the water from the room, and then rolling spiked cylinders across its face until it dies. |

Several Mega Man X and Zero games have the final boss transform into their giant form, then attack with massive hands, lasers, and hands shooting lasers. | |

Wario Land 3: Rudy the Monster Clown, the final boss, stays in the background of the fight, and attacks with his fists that are kept in the foreground. The "grabbing and squeezing" attack is also the only way in the whole game to get a Game Over. | |

Phantasy Star Online 2: Dark Falz Elder sics four of his hands on you (Which look like bizarre hydras; the two outermost fingers being legs, and the other three heads) for the first phase of his fight, remaining in the background to launch lasers and meteors at you while the hands attack directly with the sorts of moves you might expect. They occasionally mix things up by pairing off or summoning numerous additional hands onto the field to perform combination attacks. | |

Mega Man: Mega Man 3: The final boss sometimes takes a break from raining projectiles on you and tries to punch you. You can jump on the fist to reach his head and attack his weakpoint. Mega Man 10: The Keeper minibosses in Strike Man's stage are giant hands that punch a ball and Mega Man in order to attempt to do damage. Mega Man V: The game's incarnation of the Wily Machine has the player fighting both of its hands, individually, before fighting the Wily Machine itself. The arms are capable of slamming down on the ground to hit Mega Man or toss him into the air, and they can also shoot missiles. The second one can also grab Mega Man to ensure those missiles hit him. Several Mega Man X and Zero games have the final boss transform into their giant form, then attack with massive hands, lasers, and hands shooting lasers. |

Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]: The mage Hockomonkey periodically disappears, leaving a multitude of its disembodied hands behind to swipe at you and throw parts of the environment, only reappearing once they've all been destroyed. This is especially annoying in the rematch, where the combined HP of them rivals that of the boss itself. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Master Hand, and from Melee onward, Crazy Hand. Sometimes you have to fight them both at the same time. Master Hand can do most of the attacks listed in the description. The only of those that Crazy Hand cannot do is walking on two fingers. Instead, he crawls on all five fingers, rather like a spider. If Master Hand teams up with Crazy Hand, they can do even more attacks, such as smashing the player character in a giant clapping motion, crushing him/her between two fists, have one slap the ground while the other uses the Finger Gun, etc. Isaac appears as an Assist Trophy and summons a giant hand to push your opponents off the stage. |
