Many animated characters, especially Funny Animals, are missing certain anthropomorphic features- perhaps the art style is stylized to the point where hands lack fingers, some characters simply don't have arms, or nobody is of a species that has appendages. This will not impact their functioning in any meaningful way—they interact with the world as any fully-abled human would, as though the missing elements were simply invisible. Salt shakers and boxing gloves will simply float in midair by their torso, dumpster lids will spring open in their presence, and they'll hover next to the pull-up bar. Not To Be Confused With Barbie Doll Anatomy. Compare Armless Biped, Anatomy Anomaly, Feather Fingers, Fourth-Wall Portrait, Floating Limbs, Fingerless Hands, No Mouth, or The Noseless. Contrast Sudden Anatomy, where body parts become visible only when used. |

In Bleach, Pernida can talk and hear despite having no mouth or ears, being a giant disembodied left arm. It's lampshaded by Mayuri during their fight, as he comments that he'd love to dissect Pernida to figure out how they can talk. | |

This is one of the many, many running gags in the various MS Paint Adventures comics. Characters are often drawn armless unless they're actually using them, and almost always when they're first introduced. Their first instruction is with a few exceptions always "Retrieve arms from <x>". | |

FEAR nearly avoids the 'invisible third hand' and 'floating torso' phenomenon found in many shooters, arms and legs are required to climb ladders, swim and are seen flailing when the player is thrown though a window. Doors and buttons, however are used without physical contact. FEAR 2: Project Origin keeps the part with doors (unless you bash or kick them open), but now adds animations of the player character physically interacting with buttons, levers, valves and keyboards.. | |

My Little Pony does this all the time. They are ponies — they are unquestionably quadrupedal and have no fingers to boot. Yet they cook, dress up, decorate, and do various other things that aren't so easy without hands. Now, some of the actual toys have magnets in their hooves to help them manipulate stuff, so..... A large part of the art direction in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is dedicated to averting this, with manipulation mostly occurring using their mouths, tails, and telekinesis for unicorns. There is the odd case of things mysteriously sticking to hooves, but they are the exception rather than the rule. But that raises the issue of the tails — while horse tails do have a base called the dock which can be moved, it's very short and the rest of the tail is just pure hair. Said dock doesn't even appear in the show's character designs... and yet Applejack can grip and use a lasso with the end of her tail? G1 was similar too. They made a point to have ponies use their mouths for everything, even the first two specials having them as being completely non-anthro, but on rare occasions they'll use their hooves like hands. |

Even weirder in games like Half-Life 2, where Gordon Freeman does have arms and hands, and does use them to hold weapons, but when he does anything else (like push a button or lift a small object) his arm is not shown. As pointed out in Concerned, a small object just hovers in front of him. Also, you can't see your feet. Most of Valve Software's other games play this straight in the same manner (you can see the hands holding your weapons, but not your legs). The exception is the first Left 4 Dead; the sequel removed the legs again so more zombies could be rendered on-screen at once. | |

Krillin of Dragon Ball fame was drawn without a nose, which was a plot point when he was in a fight with a large, hairy man who deliberately didn't bathe so no one would be able to stand being around him long enough to actually fight him. He suffered horribly from the odor during the fight, until Goku reminded Krillin that he didn't have a nose... In the same arc (in the manga, at least), Krillin fights Jackie Chun and flicks boogers at him. Fans wrote in asking how it was possible if they'd just established that he doesn't have a nose and the author admitted he forgot about it when he wrote that scene. Of course, next arc had him sniffing a jewel Bulma hid in her bikini bottom front because "it might smell bad". This was more Rule of Funny than lack of consistency. | |

The Far Side: There's a cartoon somewhere with a bunch of snakes in a bar, all holding and reading newspapers despite their lack of arms. Larson himself pointed out the problem in one of the book collections. It's also subverted in another strip, with a cowboy snake saying to another that they shouldn't duel, since it will just be another standoff. And one where a bunch of snakes are having a party inside a house while another snake is outside looking in through the window. One of the snakes inside is standing at the door and saying "Hey, Bob wants in. Anyone know how to work this thing?" |

The Epic Battle Fantasy series has a main character called NoLegs, who is a cat with no legs. In the fifth game, he gets Promoted to Playable, and, as a result, becomes able to wear armor and hold weapons. However, this does not allow him to swim, as shown by his dialogue in the Rainbow River and Great Sea. This lack of visible limbs also carries over to nearly every other cat appearing in the series, with the notable exceptions being Meow Meow (a summon in the second and third games, also appearing as a quest NPC in the latter), and Godcat (the final boss of the fourth.) |

The Mii characters built on Nintendo's Wii console have arms when created, but in Wii Sports, they don't have them. They just have floating sphere hands or boxing gloves. Any non-player Miis in the background will also lack legs. Most games that use them in gameplay just reproduce the head on a single style of body anyway, and ignore the user-defined height and weight sliders. Referred to in this Brawl in the Family strip. | |

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas lets you pick up objects in front of you without putting them in your inventory. The effect is the same like in Half-Life 2, except since you can change the camera to a third person view, you can see the object is literally floating in front of your character while your arms can be holding something else or nothing at all. | |

The Legend of Zelda has a few examples. Yeta from Twilight Princess. Her arms are never visible at any point, but they are probably hidden under that blanket she's covered in. As proven in YouTube videos (cheats were involved), the lower half of Headmaster Gaepora from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword apparently disappears when he bathes at night. None of the common shopkeepers in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time have legs. This doesn't apply to their Majora's Mask counterparts, however. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, characters have fingers but no toes, which is evident when said character wears sandals (Tetra, Aryll, Sue-Belle...). This is justified by the Super-Deformed art style the game goes with, but it only applies to the original version, as their toes are visible in the HD remake. |

All the characters in Cars are... well, cars. With no hands. So how do they grip things like power tools or flags? There are foot (wheel?) pedals that they use to activate some things, and some of the cars have special attachments for holding things, but the question remains: how was all this stuff built? Apparently, the storyboarders twisted themselves into knots trying to figure this out. Suggestions included the trunk, antenna-holders, and helper monkeys. For the sake of their sanity, they decided to ignore it. | |

Steven Universe: Female characters (including gems), and a few male ones, don't have their ears drawn if they'd be even slightly obscured by hair or headgear. In a bizarre extreme, Mr. Fryman's earliest appearances had his ears missing whenever he was wearing his visor, even though the visor hangs far above his ears. Onion lacks visible ears despite his hair (which is just a tuft at the top of his head) not obstructing them at all. It's one of the several reasons Steven has questioned if he's human. Characters don't have a visible ear canals even in close ups. In "Catch and Release" Steven is shown cleaning his ears, but just seems to pass it over skin. |

Ghastly's Ghastly Comic: One character has invisible... er... anatomy. He takes advantage of it for nefarious purposes. Deconstructed with Chibi Sue, who is a 30-year-old woman stuck in a chibi body. With no fingers. And because all the males who have interest in her are either little kids or creepy paedophiles, that is a BIG problem. |

In Gunnerkrigg Court, one of the many ways that Dr. Disaster completely disregarded realism in designing the scenario of his space battle simulation is the fact that the terrible Enigmarons are somehow able to build a Death Ray and tie people up (all off-screen) in spite of their lack of arms. | |

Many species in the Paper Mario games, such as Goombas and Bob-Ombs. Goombella, introduced in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, especially stands out, as (to get information on the opponent you're facing in a battle) she frequently takes out a green book and turns the pages, despite her lack of visible arms. And despite the fact that a lot of tropes are lampshaded in the game, neither she nor anyone else comments on this. And in Mario Baseball, Goombas can swing a baseball bat with no hands. In Super Mario Party Goomba is also playable and also able to participate in activities that usually require hands. Some fans have speculated that Goombas perhaps have close range telepathic abilities that allows them to hold objects. Boos can float yet they trip or fall like anyone else in the party games, implying they have invisible legs of some sort. | |

In Mystery Science Theater 3000, Tom Servo's arms are springs and his hands are unarticulated plastic; normally, all they can do is dangle uselessly at his side. Somehow, this doesn't stop Servo from building things while he's off-screen, or playing a bass for "Hike Up Your Pants", or even twirling the bass around. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, characters have fingers but no toes, which is evident when said character wears sandals (Tetra, Aryll, Sue-Belle...). This is justified by the Super-Deformed art style the game goes with, but it only applies to the original version, as their toes are visible in the HD remake. | |

Spooky: Echo doesn't have limbs, in addition to the horn and wings associated with Unis.

Starting in late 2013 AMC Theaters has had some AMC Amazing spots before the film featuring creepy red spherical characters usually without eyes or limbs, living in a gray world. They appear to hop around instead of walk and like in VeggieTales and Homestar Runner have what can be described as "Phantom Limb Psychokinesis"—they can manipulate objects without touching them, but only within the reach and strength limitations of actual arms and hands. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog, characters have been shown that, without shoes on (or in Big and Tikal's case, with sandals on), they don't have toes. Oddly enough, they do have five fingers. Also note that this only applies to the anthropomorphic animal characters, as humans do have toes. In Sonic Forces, the avatar character can be seen with only one toe on each foot if he/she is wearing sandals. | |

An ad for the series 3-2-1 Penguins!, made by the same studio, had Larry enter, look at one of the penguins, and yell offscreen, "Bob! They've got arms!" Another episode has the Scottish Carrot character knocking on a door — and showing a human hand in the close-up. The carrot reacts with understandable shock. The same thing later happens with his feet while walking... The Spin-Off series The Animated Adventures of Larry-Boy seemed to be deathly afraid of this trope. The title character had a Utility Belt that had hammerspace claws and other manipulating devices, and characters had levitating gloves, gauntlets, and sleeves at every opportunity. |

In SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star has neither ears nor a nose, which is lampshaded on occasion. ("I cannot believe what I'm hearing!" "How can you hear it? You don't have any ears!") This is actually a plot point in at least one episode, where Pat doesn't realize SpongeBob has bad breath on account of his noselessness. There's also an episode where Patrick gets a nose surgically grafted to his face and he begins to enjoy all the wonderful smells of the world (before the conflict rears its ugly head). He later gets ears at the end of the episode (we never learn how that turns out). | |

The Powerpuff Girls: The girls don't appear to have fingers, but this doesn't stop them from being able to pick up the phone. As with Homestar Runner, this has been lampshaded several times. Once when Buttercup switched bodies with the professor she found it weird that she had to use fingers and that things didn't just magically stick to her hand. The titular girls also lack noses and ears for some reason, and yet are still able to smell and hear things. As with their hands, every other character in the show has a nose and ears. They also don't have feet in the same sense that other characters do- instead they have vaguely defined areas on the rounded ends of their legs that serve as feet and they somehow wear shoes on. They look rather bizarre when you think about it, which raises the question of why anyone in the PPG universe finds them cute. The movie actually has a character point out how freakish the girls looked while the entire town tells them what awful jobs they're doing. | |

A large part of the art direction in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is dedicated to averting this, with manipulation mostly occurring using their mouths, tails, and telekinesis for unicorns. There is the odd case of things mysteriously sticking to hooves, but they are the exception rather than the rule. But that raises the issue of the tails — while horse tails do have a base called the dock which can be moved, it's very short and the rest of the tail is just pure hair. Said dock doesn't even appear in the show's character designs... and yet Applejack can grip and use a lasso with the end of her tail? | |

The birds in Angry Birds have no visible wings or legs. Their anatomical lack became particularly noticeable when developers of the game were ask to design a mascot for the 2012 Ice Hockey World Championships, resulting in Hockeybird◊, a creature that can play ice hockey with no limbs at all. The pigs are also prone to this trope, and later games show that both birds and pigs can drive go-karts and hold weapons (and other stuff) without the necessity of hands. Completely averted in media associated with the movies, where all characters have full bodies. | |

Spore Creatures without arms handle tools just fine, though the game suggests you get arms anyway (and, indeed, the Creature phase actually gets kind of hard without 'em). Creature without arms in Spore wield tools with their mouths. You actually get an achievement for finishing the creature stage without ever having given your creature legs. There's no similar achievement for arms, and you can add legs in the post-creature stage/pre-tribal stage final creature editor, because you get the achievement before that editor. |

In moments of boredom, Rayman has a tendency to remove his torso and bounce it like a basketball. Rayman: Raving Rabbids implies that he might have invisible legs. If he is wearing pants, you can clearly see knees. | |

Bang-On Balls: Chronicles: All of the characters are living balls with eyes, yet they can hold objects as though they have hands. | |

Homestar Runner lacks visible arms, as do Marzipan, the King of Town, and Homsar. Depictions of this vary between seeming like the characters have invisible arms (one time Homestar, wearing a long-sleeved coat, picked something up and the coat's arm moved as if there were something in it) or just having some sort of telekinetic power (another time, Homestar held four objects at once). The real answer is... whichever is funniest at the moment. One humorous example is when Strong Bad and Pom Pom demonstrate their favourite ways of flipping the bird. When Homestar walks by, Strong Bad lifts up his hand (which lacks fingers, because his hands are boxing gloves). Homestar just smiles and says "Wight back atcha, Stwong Bad!" Strong Bad is taken aback, and exclaims, "He just gave me the bird!" At the end of "8-Bit is Enough", you see him chained up as if he had arms. And yet afterwards, Homestar walks away from the shackles without them having been unlocked... And, of course, Strong Bad always types with no fingers. Always lampshaded with the ridiculous number of emails he receives asking "How do you type with boxing gloves on?" Addressed once when he taped random objects onto his boxing gloves as "fingers," which led to his inability to type correctly. Coach Z probably has a thumb, but everything else is fused together. In addition, he talks without a mouth. The Homestar Runner Wiki has two articles on this subject. |

Harold in Gloomverse has invisible limbs, although it's due to an in-universe magical accident, and when he's wearing clothes you can see the pant legs walking, gloves picking things up, and so on. | |

The characters in Zero Punctuation don't have arms. Lampshaded in the end credits to the Guitar Hero review, questioning how one character had a bind despite having no arms. One review had to clarify when a character was supposed to be "crossing his arms." | |

The Beta Shlumpys from Vexxarr. This comic shows as much of their anatomy as apparently exists; a blob and three eyes on stalks, as Vexxarr explains that they can't take him away, because they have no hands. They are apparently surprised by this, but in the next comic they have rioted and destroyed their city. | |

Wally the Whale and his fishy friends of Fruit Incest tend to just float and move objects without any limbs or even flippers. Lampshaded a couple of times, as even they don't seem to know how they do it. | |

In Theta vs Pi 7 no one in the game has hands. Yet, somehow the bartender served all those drinks, the piano player plays that piano and Theta is able to play multiple instruments quite well. | |

The MLP Loops: Much like the show (see Western Animation, below), this is usually averted, but at one point Pinkie Pie stops by the universe of Warhammer 40,000 and holds up a plate on one hoof. A note from Amberly Vail notes several members of the Ordos Xenos have gone utterly mad trying to figure out how that was possible (the answer, of course, is "it's Pinkie Pie"). | |
