History Main / MultiArmedAndDangerous

* ''Toys/LEGOSpacePolice'': Frenzy is the {{Trope Namer|s}}, being described in a log video as "multi-armed and dangerous".
* ''Franchise/TheTransformers'' has had a few figures with extra arms over the years, either deliberately or as a result of fans being able to tweak the transformation. For example, the G1 Autobot Repugnus could have his mantis-like monster arms unfolded and deployed when he was in robot mode while Insecticon Kickback had four arms normally. In the "War For Cybertron: Siege" subline, Shockwave came with extra bits that let him add a second pair of arms that each ended with an ArmCannon instead of a hand, while the [[EquippableAlly Brunt]] could form an extra set of arms with large claws that attached to another character.

* The title character of Mikhail Akhmanov's ''Literature/DickSimon'' novels was born in a human town on planet Tayahat whose gravity is 1.5 Earth norm. The planet is populated by a tribal race of four-armed humanoids. Their males live for combat, and boys are trained from young age to kill (as well as honor). Dick is brought to them as a boy by his father and is raised as one of them, before leaving to join the Academy, where he receives more modern training as an operative by a red-headed [[EverythingIsBigInTexas Texan]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' has a few multi-armed alien species. The ones Ben uses both have two sets of eyes to match their arms.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBotsMaster'': [[CyberNinja The robot Ninjzz]] is a three-armed asymmetrical variant. He only has one right arm, which is a crossbow ArmCannon, while he has two left arms designated for wielding his various ninja weapons.

* Zigzagged with Elzar, the four-armed Neptunian cooking show host in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. It was revealed in one episode that during the 3007 economic depression, he made something called "Human Broth" to feed impoverished citizens. ([[ToServeMan It doesn't take a genius to figure out what it was made of.)]] Of course, whether that makes ''him'' dangerous to humans ''personally'' isn't known, and he ''probably'' doesn't do that anymore. (Well, probably. Stranger things happen on this show.)

** Also, one of [[BigBad Shendu's]] siblings, [[GravityMaster Tso]] [[KnightOfCerebus Lan,]] has two smaller arms underneath his main arms, and he's one of the strongest enemies on the show.

* One of the assassins in ''Film/AeonFlux'' (based on the animated show as well) [[HandyFeet has hands instead of feet]].
* In the original ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|1981}}'', the Kraken has four arms and the goddess Thetis says that it's capable of destroying the entire city of Joppa and all of its inhabitants. In [[Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010 the 2010 version]] it has two arms and two tentacles.
* Numerous ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' monsters sport multiple arms, most frequently the BigCreepyCrawlies.
** ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'': Both [=MUTOs=] possess eight limbs total: the female has four forelegs, two hind legs, and a set of smaller arms, while the male MUTO has two forelegs, two hind legs, a pair of enormous wings, and a set of smaller arms. The Teaser Trailer Monster has several arms with hooked claws.
* ''Film/TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad''. A statue of the Hindu goddess Kali is animated, "grows" a sword out of each palm of her six hands and fights Sinbad and his crew.

** General Grievous has arms that can both split in two. He's a cyborg, so it kind of makes sense. In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' he could hold lightsabers with his feet, too. So theoretically he could use five lightsabers at once (one foot would still be needed to stand on). In ''Legends'', Grievous had repulsorlift installed in his feet so that he could float and use his feet as hands, thus allowing him to Sextuple wield Lightsabers.
** Obi-Wan's contact Dex had four arms, but this may just avert this trope as he didn't play any part in the main series other than an information source. ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' ([[SimilarlyNamedWorks not the same as the previously mentioned]] ''Clone Wars'') introduces another member of the species, Jedi Master Pong Krell, who "merely" dual-wielded double-sided lightsabers, but ''did'' do a four-way Force shove.

* The main characters in the furry webcomic ''Webcomic/AtArmsLength'' come from a race of magical beings that naturally is four-armed. The [[ActionGirl ladies kick monster behind]] to protect mortals while keeping their [[SecretIdentity magical origins secret]] from society at large.

* The ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' comics once showed a ''six-''armed Shokan named Grum. [[CurbStompBattle He got his ass kicked by Sub-Zero]], despite wielding six nunchaku.

* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'': In chapter 11 of the third story, ''Diplomacy Through Schooling'', [[spoiler:when she assumes her full Lady of Magic form, Twilight grows four extra wings and four extra legs, for a total of six and eight of each.]]

* GDW's ''TabletopGame/DarkConspiracy'' adventure ''Hellsgate''. Margaret Ryan betrays the PlayerCharacters while in the service of an evil alien being and is RewardedAsATraitorDeserves by having her body altered. The resulting Margaret-Thing has four arms: the two new ones have claws/pincers instead of hands. She can wield weapons in her human hands and attack directly with her claw/pincers.

* ''Toys/LEGOSpacePolice'': Frenzy is the TropeNamer, being described in a log video as "multi-armed and dangerous".

* Website/FourChan gives us [[http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9632490/ Ball of Arms Man]], created from a TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds DM's complaint about a player who wanted to make a character who'd spent all his powers on Additional Limbs. He's a sentient portal to the Elemental Plane of Arms, meaning that he has pretty much an infinite supply of arms.

* ''Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos'': Slendy, HumanoidAbomination that he is, is often shown with lots of arms/[[CombatTentacles tentacles]] / [[WhenTreesAttack branches]]/whatever they are.

* In the canceled series ''WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}}'', a supervillainess going by the name of Pushy Galore has two (hidden) extra sets of arms due to, in her words, the fringe benefits of being a genetic physicist. After revealing her six-armed frame, she even tells Stripperella to call her [[PunnyName Octo-Pushy]]. Sadly, she only gets screen time in one episode, though the slight perk is that she actually uses her six arms to do a [[MultiArmedMultitasking multitude of actions]] that are lacking in many other animations featuring multi-armed characters (such as piloting and controlling a blimp with all six of her arms).
