** The [[FunWithAcronyms T-A.L.O.S]] from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles'' has a human-like right arm, used to aim and fire a shoulder-mounted multiple homing rocket launcher, and a much larger and more inhuman left-arm that reaches down to the ground, ape-fashion, and serves as a brace. Subverted when it goes OneWingedAngel, in which its arms become symmetrical monstrous sets of talons.

Expanding upon the Resident Evil examples, which are a lot more prolific than was originally explained.


* Krauser's OneWingedAngel form in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' has a huge arm that can be used as a weapon or shield.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles'', G-Virus-infected William Birkin's first and second stage mutations give him an increasingly monstrous right arm before his third stage mutation balances him out.

* Krauser's OneWingedAngel form This is a recurring design element for B.O.Ws in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' series.
** All the way back to the original ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'', the T-002 Tyrant
has a huge right arm that can be that's human, and a left arm that's a twisted claw with elongated, asymmetrical talons.
** A variant of the T-002's design is also, understandably,

** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles'', G-Virus-infected William Birkin's first and second stage mutations give him in ''''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' both have an increasingly monstrous overgrown right arm, although he gets balanced out in his third mutation. In the first mutation, it's simply an overly long arm with a massive eyeball [[EyesDoNotBelongThere growing out of the shoulder]], with the second mutation causing it to swell and bloat into a meaty, malformed claw adorned with razor-sharp talons. In the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake 2019 remake]], the first mutation's arm is more visibly swollen and twisted, so it looks closer to his second form's arm.
** It's subtle enough to be easily missed if you're not paying attention, but the Hunter Beta in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3'' and its [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake 2020 remake]] has a much larger left arm and hand than it does a right one.
** Taken to an extreme in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'', where the Bandersnatch has ''no'' left arm at all, but its
right arm before has grown into a rubbery, elastic tentacle-like appendage.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', Jack Krauser's OneWingedAngel form consists of mutating
his third stage damaged left arm into a bladed tentacle that he can use as a weapon or a shield.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', Wesker's final
mutation balances him out. turns his right arm into a massive flail made up of jagged metal shards held together by the writhing black worms of Uroboros.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'', the Ustanak's missing right arm is replaced by a set of modular yet invariably oversized and deadly-looking cybernetic prosthetics.

* In the ''Videogame/DevilMayCry'' series, Nero's Devil Bringer is a demonic right arm that while isn't particularly large by itself projects a massive ghostly claw when he uses it to grab enemies. In ''Videogame/DevilMayCry5'' the Devil Bringer gets cut off early on, forcing him to rely on cybernetic arms, with the Buster Arm in particular being the largest and bulkiest-looking.

* Capcom adores this trope. ''VideoGame/GodHand'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4'', ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'', ''VideoGame/MegaMan''...



* While not massive, ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4'' protagonist Nero has a demonic right hand called the "Devil Bringer" that runs up the length of his entire right forearm. It imbues him with massive strength and the ability to project a demonic hand at almost any range, latching onto faraway objects or enemies and pulling himself/them in. It also allows him to store the Yamato, the key to unlocking his Devil Trigger. He loses this limb in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', however, and has it replaced with an {{artificial limb|s}} that can do many of the same things and more.

** It's not actually uncommon for crustaceans to have asymmetrical pincers, and this in fact is the norm for a large number of them. In the common lobster, for example, one claw is bigger and blunter, acting as the "crusher" claw, while the other is more slender and has sharper 'teeth' and acts as the "cutter" claw.

His real hand is actually in the gauntlet's wrist, with the gauntlet's hand and fingers floating separately from the rest of the gauntlet. Despite its large size, the gauntlet functions more like a [[TrickedOutGloves Tricked Out Glove]], shooting energy blasts and projecting shields instead of being used for punching. Torvald's ultimate, Hyper Beam, unlocks the latent powers of his gauntlet, firing a massive blast that [[BlownAcrossTheRoom sends enemies flying]].
