A Funny Animal or Civilized Animal without the benefit of Feather Fingers, Humanlike Hand Anatomy, or Handy Feet can usually substitute their mouth. Including for tasks that require opposable thumbs, because screw you, evolution. Humans who have been bound or otherwise incapacitated are also not averse to this, in a pinch. Rule of Funny is powerful like that. However, this trope can also be played for drama, if a character is forced to use their mouth as a "hand" to escape from a desperate situation. Truth in Television in that many animals do utilize their jaws this way (such as a cat carrying her kittens,) although they can't usually write letters or fence very well. Compare Now That's Using Your Teeth! and Cutlass Between the Teeth, which can intersect with this if the character also fights this way rather than just carrying the weapon. Can overlap with Multi Purpose Tongue. |

In Oliver & Company, Tito the chihuahua is the hot-wire expert of Fagin's gang. He's seen pulling wires from underneath a limousine's dashboard with his teeth and jumping the connections by holding select wires in his mouth and letting his saliva act as the conductor. He would later activate a freight elevator in Sykes' lair by pulling a wire with his teeth, then pressing the exposed end against the circuit board. | |

Naruto: In a very early arc, the villain Zabuza lost the use of both arms after Naruto (with the help of Kakashi) beats him. Then, before everything's settled, Zabuza's employer Gato shows up with multiple armed men, saying that You Have Outlived Your Usefulness to Zabuza and that his men are gonna execute him. An angered Zabuza asks Kakashi for a kunai, which he catches with his mouth; he then proceeds to charge at the armed men and cut them down with the kunai between the teeth, using his tongue to flip the kunai's direction. In the manga, he also beheads Gato this way. Naruto Uzumaki also uses his mouth as a "third hand" to hold kunai and rolls as seen in◊ these artworks, mostly seen in the first series as well in Shippuden. |

The northhounds and southhounds of Hamster's Paradise are wolf-like hamster descendants with no opposable digits, and thus use their mouth to hold and grasp objects. This has been a major hindrance to the advancement of their society, though based on an earlier script, they domesticate ape-like hamsters to circumvent this. | |

After she's turned into a bird monster in Dr. Franklin's Island and loses the use of her hands, Miranda uses her beak and Handy Feet to manipulate objects. Her friend Semi, turned into something much like a manta ray, doesn't have as much dexterity as she is a toothless plankton-strainer without a neck, but she is able to use her mouth and the soft paddles on either side to collect some pebbles and spit them out on the edge of her pool to guilt trip one of the Mad Scientists who turned her and Miranda into monsters. Later she finds she can hold a stick between her mouth-paddles and levers open the cover to a pipe in the wall of her pool. | |
