Helping Hands	comment	Did you just chop apart the evil zombie or robot you were fighting? Keep an eye on all the parts, because it's only a matter of time before that severed hand starts to spider-crawl after you, or scuttle off for some nefarious purpose. With zombies and similar creatures, the ability for the hand to function independently is often a result of some sort of supernatural energy. With robots, it's usually a result of Easily Detachable Robot Parts. See Evil Hand for when this happens before it gets lopped off. When its deliberately done during a fight, it's an example of Detachment Combat. For other lopped off yet functional body parts see: Losing Your Head, Organ Autonomy, Brain in a Jar and Animate Body Parts. Not to be confused with Handy Helper.

Helping Hands / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Trolls can attack with any severed parts. In 3.5, Warlocks have an invocation that severs their own hand, which animates and crawls around like a spider, to be used as a sort of scout. They can also do this with an eye. Don't worry, the limbs come back. Lebendtod of Ravenloft can remove their hands, heads, or whole limbs in a similar manner. "Bigby's Many Hands" line of spells, which summon the disembodied hands of, presumably, the Wizard Bigby, which do various "things" depending on the spell. Similar spells are mage's hand, which is for non-combat purposes, the spectral hand, and others, including one even called helping hand. The Book of Vile Darkness has the grim revenge spell, used by undead caster, to sever (painfully) the hand of a living victim, and then animate it as an undead monstrosity bent on draining the lifeforce of its previous owner. Also from Book of Vile Darkness, the spell Graz'zt's long grasp detaches the hand of the caster and sends it flying around. It can flank or grapple, though its main interest is to transmit touch spells, making it a superior (but riskier) version of spectral hand. Forgotten Realms adds a lot of variations, such as Alcimer's flying fist or Daltim's flaming fist (the signature spell of a Halruaan mercenary pyromancer: the same general idea, but on fire) and a few grasping and/or attacking claw variants, such as Caligarde's claw and Manshoon's xorn talons. There are also more tricky and obscure spells like Halaster's grappling hand (door-sized force hand selectively intercepting magical attacks and creatures with magic items, but passing through non-magical matter) or Duhlark's long reach (large arm remotely formed from any present material that can grab, smash or pull and conducts spells like Spectral Hand). Crawling claws, a mindless, weak, but usually swarming monster originally from Forgotten Realms — an animated severed hand in any shape from fresh to skeletal. It doesn't count as a proper undead, just a construct, thus is not turnable and even good wizards sometimes make one or two dozens. Mostly used as a guardian, but there's a more useful flying variety which can grasp and move at once, so those who can make them get hovering test-tube holders and suchlike. The vampiric variant, though, is much nastier. In CD&D, a powerful form of undead known as the druj exists, which takes the form of animated body parts: either eyes, skulls, or this trope.

Helping Hands / int_6c1234ed	comment	In Post-2014 Dwarf Fortress, severing body parts from the undead renders them inanimate, but necromancers and mummies can easily reanimate the body parts so long as they have a part capable of grasping (i.e. hands, mouths, pincers). They can even do this to body parts severed from living beings, so adventures can find themselves in the unlucky circumstance of having to fight their own severed arm.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has Zant's hands in the Palace of Twilight. Each hand holds one of the Sols that Link has to steal. When the Sol is removed from one of them it will come to life and try to take it back. Several games have an undead hand that lives in a toilet and asks Link for paper for unexplained reasons. The one that appears in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is revealed to be named Phoeni in a guide, but it is unclear if the ones who appeared in previous (though chronologically later) games are the same character or not.

Helping Hands / int_e3b75023	comment	In the anime Vampire Hunter D, we have the title vampire hunter's left hand, which has somehow gotten a Demon embedded in it. Said demon is shown by having a face in the palm of the hand, including eyes, nose, and mouth. After being severed in a rather gory scene that includes D being staked through the heart, the hand crawls back to D's body, reattaches itself to D's arm, pulls out the stake, then attempts to revive D by a) eating earth for energy (with accompanying belch afterward), b) sucking wind to give him breath, then pounding on his chest to restart his heart. All this while a monster approaches that would be the Final Death for D. Naturally, he wakes up in time to kill the monster and progress through the story. Of course, all this is helped by the titular D being a dhampir, a half-human half-vampire hybrid.note Dhampyrs, from Balkan folklore, are the children of male vampires and female humans, with all the powers of vampires and none of the weaknesses. (The word was transliterated into Japanese as "danpiru", which was then transliterated back into English as "dunpeal" or "dhampiel", leading to all kinds of interesting confusion.)

Murderbot detaches a hand which involves individually disconnecting circuits and tearing loose some flesh and nerves (fortunately it can dial down its pain sensors), then walking the hand by the fingers up onto the arm, which is then torn free of its cuff whereupon the hand is reattached. Murderbot is then easily able to break the other cuffs. The main risk involved dropping its hand during all this, which would have left Murderbot screwed.

For example, it could disconnect an arm and circle around a GM in order to shoot it in the back, bypassing its shield, but this isn't very necessary given its incredible power. This ability was built into the suit in order to let pilot Char Aznable make use of his telepathy to guide the arms and attack from unpredictable angles. There are several mobile suits in Gundam that use this ability, such as the Hamma Hamma and Turn X.

Helping Hands / int_fbf8acc	comment	The Cabin in the Woods. A zombie gets hacked up by one of the protagonists, but its limbs are still twitching. When a guard bursts in with the intention of shooting them, a zombie hand grabs his ankle, distracting him. The protagonists knock the guard out and the last thing we see as the doors close is the hand crawling up to the unconscious man's face...

Helping Hands / int_fcf43f47	comment	Fighting Fantasy In the first book, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, you will come across a room full of tiles in the shape of hands, or stars. If you stepped on a hand tile, you'll be attacked by dozens and dozens of ghostly hands materializing out of those tiles, which you must destroy in order to reach the other end. The star-tiles on the other hand are harmless. Beneath Nightmare Castle have a really horrifying example, where the player, after defeating a bunch of soldiers, can choose to open a chest they're carrying or simply abandon it. Choose the former and it turns out the chest is filled with severed limbs, who then comes to life crawling out to attack, and must be hacked to pieces. Choose the latter option and the book actually rewards the player by increasing his Sanity Meter, saying he felt "an overwhelming sense of relief, for some reason, after leaving the mysterious chest".
