* Creator/JamesPHogan's ''The Immortality Option'' (sequel to his better-regarded ''Code of the Lifemaker'') presents the Borijans, a species of birdlike aliens from the planet Turle. What's interesting about these BirdPeople is that not only do they have six limbs (two legs, two arms, and a pair of non-functioning but socially important wings), all of the higher (vertebrate-equivalent) life on Turle follows the same general six-limbed body plan.

* The Gibbets and Simiagibs from ''WebOriginal/{{Serina}}'' have six limbs. Curiously, they descended from the three-legged tribbets (terrestrial fish), but two fingers on each arm and two toes on the single hind limb became larger to aid in climbing trees, eventually developing their own fingers and becoming six functional limbs.

If it has more than that, like arthropods (insects, spiders, centipedes, etc), it's not a vertebrate. Some individuals have abnormal numbers due to injury or glitches during development, but additional limbs rarely function properly. Those with less, like snakes and whales, still evolved from four-limbed animals.
