6	Floating Limbs describes a somewhat rare LazyArtist trick for arms and legs (or lack thereof). Mainly, a character lacks anything visibly connecting their hands or their feet to the rest of their body.
7
8	A subtrope of InvisibleAnatomy, although the former can be excused due to conservation of detail, while in this trope the seemingly missing pieces are ''clearly'' missing.
9
10	Can be stylized rather than just a way of avoiding drawing arms and legs. Combatants with these limbs may be capable of DetachmentCombat and RocketPunch.

31	* Street signs indicating crosswalks and similar traffic features often show stick figures with no necks, just disembodied heads floating above their shoulders. This is particularly funny when the stick figure is riding a horse with a meticulously rendered mane.
32	* [[http://centralcitytower.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/fuzzy-fuzman-and-acman-pictogramcomic-strip-door-decorations/ Fuzman and Acman Pictograms]] also have no necks, likely reminiscent of street signs and Olympic pictogram.

43	* The character of Dominus, who made his debut in the ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' story arc ''ComicBook/TheDominusEffect'', appears as a humanoid wearing a cloak whose wrists and hands do not appear to have any arms attached to them. This also shows up with a few of the characters within the four realities themselves, clueing the reader into the fact that those characters are actually Dominus in disguise.
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder:Eastern European Animation]]
47	* ''Animation/HungarianFolkTales'': There is a RunningGag where elderly kings are depicted with a bell-shaped body and two floating hands. The only exception is [[HistoricalDomainCharacter King Mathias]], who makes occasional appearances in a few episodes.

62	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
63	* An early episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' has a rare live-action example that was PlayedForDrama. The MonsterOfTheWeek is a StalkerWithACrush who had developed the power to detach and remotely control parts of his body, and uses them to torment his victim.
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder:Music Videos]]
67	* [[https://youtu.be/SmnEhmjgZ9s The video]] for the song ''Be Faithful'' by Fatman Scoop features characters who are CGI heads with disconnected hands and feet.
68	* Most of the characters in Klea's video to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWntsJNb6RI their song "Tic Toc"]] don't have necks, and their heads hover over their shoulders.
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
72	* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': Some monsters have various parts of their anatomies, not necessarily limbs, that float separately from the rest of their bodies.
73	** In 3rd Edition, a gibbering orb is surrounded by a cloud of hundreds of mouths and eyeballs that ceaselessly orbit around its central body.
74	** Lumi are a race of 3E humanoids with no necks, instead their heads hover an absolutely fixed distance above their shoulders. While kind of freaky, it has the benefits of rendering lumi immune to strangulation or decapitation attacks, and since their heads can swivel easily, it's impossible for them to be flanked.
75	** In 5th Edition, all gem dragons have spikes and/or horns that float independently of the body, reflecting their immense psionic power.
76	* ''TabletopGame/LEGOGames'': Whenever playing pieces are shown "in-character", their arms are still absent, and their hands are shown as floating balls of flesh. Their legs, meanwhile, are drawn in a single piece, and they move solely by hopping.
77	* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': The demon lord Sifkesh has her arms and legs severed from her torso, but still moving (mostly) in sync with it.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Toys]]
81	* Franchise/{{Lego}} microfigures -- the tiny non-articulated game pieces used in the Lego Games series -- are depicted as having (featureless ball) hands, but no arms, in comics about them.
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:Video Games]]
85	* ''VideoGame/BuckshotRoulette'': We don't see much of the dealer due to the lighting, but its hands are separate from its body and can reach all the way across the table at will without showing any arms.
86	* ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'':
87	** Rayman is the TropeCodifier and (Administrivia/{{former\|TropeNamers}}) {{Trope Namer\|s}} for this. WordOfGod is that this was actually a space-saving shortcut; eliminating Rayman's arms freed up precious kilobytes that could be used elsewhere, making this a latter-day throwback to Mario's character design, which was also influenced by the hardware's capabilities. Also, it would be hard to throw his fists around like that if they were attached to his body.... Finally [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'': When he was created by a bunch of fairies, they happened to lose a few parts in making him. Namely, his limbs.
88	** [[TheLancer Globox's]] eyes and feet aren't attached to his body either.
89	* ''VideoGame/ArizonaSunshine'': Your character's hands are just floating in the air.
90	* ''VideoGame/ClawsOfFurry'': None of the characters in the game have visible arms. Their hands just float about their torsos.
91	* ''Videogame/DynamiteHeaddy'' has a detached head. His DistaffCounterpart, Heather, ([[MeaningfulName Fingy]] in the Japanese version) has detached fingers/hands/whatever.
92	* Every character in ''VideoGame/ElectronicPopple'', including you (an andromorphic microchip) and your enemies, sentient ComputerVirus foes, are depicted as having detached limbs floating from the bodies.
93	* ''VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams'' and its sequel, ''VideoGame/NiGHTSJourneyOfDreams'' applies this trope to its BigBad, Wizeman the Wicked. Wizeman appears as a floating cloaked figure, but six disembodied hands with [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes on the palms]] float around him.
94	** This also applies to the titular character in the first game, where their hands don’t have wrists. In the sequel, they at least have cuffs that conceal this fact.
95	* The ''VideoGame/ThingThing'' series follows this, but it's never pointed out within the story.
96	* Norstein Bekkler, the host of the Millennial Fair fun house in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''.
97	** As well as [[spoiler:Queen Zeal's]] OneWingedAngel form, also an example of CognizantLimbs.
98	* All the robots in ''VideoGame/JoyMechFight''.
99	* The robots of ''VideoGame/{{Vectorman}}'' are all made up of floating orbs. The title character uses this to his advantage for his shapeshifting power.
100	* The title character of ''VideoGame/{{Plok}}'', [[OlderThanTheyThink which actually came out 2 years before Rayman]].
101	* A seriously ''creepy'' example in ''VIdeoGame/RemorseTheList'', where you encounter Torsoless Zombies - undead whose body consists of a head, two arms from the shoulders, two legs from the hips, and ''nothing'' in-between. They form a vaguely humanoid shape with a blank space where the torso should be, and if you kill them they fall apart into a mess of limbs.
102	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
103	** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'': [[BigBad Bowser]] has invisible wrists due to NES limitations. They're supposed to be wristbands, but since his sprite, like all other 8-bit era game sprites, can only have up to three colors, what appears to be Bowser's wristbands are actually empty space.
104	** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'': Yoshi in this game has floating legs. Though it's only shown whenever he's running, subverting this.
105	** ''VideoGame/MarioParty3'': Tumble, who serves as the guide in most modes, was originally brought to life by the Millenium Star, and lacks arms and legs connecting the hands and feet respectively. In fact, his central body is absent as well.
106	** ''Videogame/SuperPaperMario'': There are quite a few examples in the game, many [=NPCs=] lack legs and arms. Two notable ones are [[TheDragon Dimentio]] and [[BigBad Count Bleck]].
107	** ''VideoGame/PrincessPeachShowtime'': Grape, the main villain of the game, has detachable WhiteGloves as well as a detachable torso, seperating her body's bottom half.
108	* ''VideoGame/TeamBuddies'': The Buddies in the game are pill-shaped creatures with floating hands and feet.
109	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
110	** Several [[JustifiedTrope Ghost-type]] Pokémon have floating body parts:
111	*** Haunter and Dusclops have floating hands.
112	*** Hoopa in both its [[SleepModeSize Confined]] and [[OneWingedAngel Unbound]] mode has floating detached arms, though the Unbound form has six arms.
113	*** Blacephalon has a floating non-corporeal head it throws, explodes, and regenerates.
114	** Claydol's arms can freely float, though it usually keeps them next to its body.
115	** Porygon-Z's head is detached from the rest of its body, [[JustifiedTrope possibly due to its in-universe faulty programming.]]
116	** Pheromosa's antennae aren't attached to it's head.
117	** Celesteela has a pair that also function as additional rockets and {{Arm Cannon}}s.
118	** Ultra Necrozma has 2 pairs of wings that float separately from the rest of its body. Its transformations imply that its body is a crystal armor being telekinetically manipulated and arranged in various ways.
119	** Meltan and its evolution Melmetal each have a single floating eye.
120	** Iron Hands' hands float around its body.
121	* ''VideoGame/GameAndWatch'': Due to system limitations, limbs on characters are not always fully attached in the earlier games, most obviously with ''Ball''.
122	* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
123	** The Guard Armor boss from [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the first game]] has five separate parts: two legs, two floating arms, and a floating torso. All five parts are attackable, and in some tournament matches you'll actually fight against its disembodied extremities/torso.
124	** The prequel game gives it an [[EmotionEater Unversed]] counterpart, the Trinity Armor.
125	* The "Miis", people who can be made on any Nintendo system from Platform/{{Wii}} onwards, have no limbs in certain games or apps (such as ''VideoGame/WiiSports'' or the ''[=StreetPass=] Mii Plaza''), but, oddly, clearly do have arms in other games. In ''Wii Sports''' baseball alone, the Miis constantly switch from merely being a head and torso, to having hands, legs, and feet.
126	* The character designer of ''VideoGame/UmJammerLammy'' gave [[PunnyName Cathy Pillar]], an anthropomorphic [[ALizardNamedLiz caterpillar]], floating ''segments''.
127	* In ''VideoGame/TheUniversim'', Nuggets have detached heads and hands, and no legs.
128	* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'':
129	** StrawCritic Jasper's head generally appears to be attached to the body, right up against the suit's collar. However, there are some scenes where the head detaches from its normal position during his grandstanding (e.g. when you first meet him). In Jasper's case it seems to be a utility thing, like Rayman's limbs; since he never actually leaves his seat, (and may indeed be too fat to move -- should we mention that his surname is [[MeaningfulName Rolls]]?) his hands and head are responsible for all his body language, so for a guy as fat as he is, not having a neck allowed the animators to make him much more expressive.
130	** The dancer's in Milla's mindscape have limbs and necks that taper off to a point just short of actually connecting.
131	* ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'': The Kid's feet lack legs or ankles.
132	* Bongo Bongo, the boss of the Shadow Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''.
133	* VideoGame/{{Dizzy}} has simple circles for hands and hemispheres for legs.
134	* Joka (renamed Joker in the Wii remake) in ''VideoGame/KlonoaDoorToPhantomile'' had no arms or legs. His appearance was modified in the remake, in which he is given thin arms and legs, but they disappear when he becomes a boss, with no reason given whatsoever.
135	* ''VideoGame/TonicTrouble'', based on the same MediaNotes/GameEngine as ''VideoGame/Rayman2TheGreatEscape'', had this. Coincidentally, the General even makes a cameo in ''Rayman 2''.
136	* A ton of ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' characters have disembodied limbs:
137	** The Poppy Bros., debuting in the first game, ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'', have floating sphere-shaped hands. This is more apparent in future games such as ''Star Allies''.
138	** The mini-bosses Jukid and Iron Mam and the Plasma Wisp enemy in ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' have these. Wham Bam Rock [[spoiler:and its harder variant in ''Ultra'', Wham Bam Jewel]], also have giant floating hands to fight Kirby with.
139	** The Japan-only ''Kirby's Super Star Stacker'' has Mr. Star and the bonus boss Gryll.
140	** ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror'' has Mega Titan (and Titan Head), Wiz and [[spoiler:Dark Mind's initial form.]]
141	** As does Daroach in ''VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad''. Although the rest of his members do have limbs (or has lack thereof), oddly enough.
142	** Mr. Dooter and Magolor [[spoiler:(in all of his forms)]] in ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' have these as well.
143	** Taranza, the People of the Sky and [[spoiler:Queen Sectonia]] in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' also lack arms.
144	** So does Elline, Claycia and [[spoiler:Dark Crafter]] in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheRainbowCurse''.
145	** Then there's Susie and [[spoiler:President Haltmann]] from ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''. They also lack arms, as do their mech suits.
146	** The Three Mage-Sisters from ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' are the latest in the line-up of armless characters.
147	* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeHunters'' has Trace, a Kriken BountyHunter whose head is completely separate from his body.
148	* Every humanoid player character in ''VideoGame/{{Legasista}}'' is designed like this in the overworld.
149	* Zero Beat, the robot/alien/whatever look-a-like of Beat from ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio Future''. It has strange floating rings as its arms, floating hands, and floating leg parts.
150	* In ''VideoGame/{{Berzerk}}'', the gap between the humanoid's head and body is [[HitboxDissonance not part of a hitbox]]; a horizontal shot that goes through it is harmless.
151	* In the ''VideoGame/LivePowerfulProBaseball'' and ''MLB Power Pros'' series, every character has detached feet.
152	* The hero of the CuteEmUp ''Captain Tomaday'' throws {{Rocket Punch}}es with Raymanian FourFingeredHands.
153	* The [[OneWingedAngel final phase]] of the FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'' has his two hands act as separate enemies in the battle.
154	* In ''Nightmare in the Dark'', the FinalBoss has entirely detached hands in both of his forms.
155	* The FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/LethalLeague'', Doombox, has limbs that aren't attached to his body.
156	* The [[PlayerCharacter titular character]] of ''VideoGame/TylerModel005'' has no limbs. His hands, feet, and head float around his torso.
157	* The shadowlings in the ''VideoGame/TelepathRPG'' series are creatures composed of a smoking flying black orb for a head with two floating hands.
158	* ''VideoGame/{{Gift\|2001}}'': The Cosmonauts' hands and the Guardians' heads.
159	* ''VideoGame/ATechCybernetic'': The PlayerCharacter's hands are seen floating about, independent of any arms.
160	* In ''VideoGame/WarioLand3'', [[spoiler:[[MonsterClown Rudy the Clown]] also has Floating GiantHandsOfDoom, and you hurt him by stunning them and throwing them at his nose.]]
161	* ''VideoGame/WonderBoyIIIMonsterLair'''s sixth boss, Sunglar, has two pairs of floating hands, one of which remain stationary, the other of which periodically swat at the player as well as blocking their shots.
162	* The titular worms in the ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'' series have Floating Arms since ''Worms 2'', except in the intros of ''Worms 2'' and ''World Party''.
163	* Certain ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' bosses, such as the Shrine boss, Dorman, and Jabir's final form in ''VideoGame/YsVLostKefinKingdomOfSand'', and Galbalan in ''[[VideoGame/YsTheOathInFelghana The Oath in Felghana]]'', have floating GiantHandsOfDoom.
164	* The {{Creator Cameo}}s in ''VideoGame/{{Everhood}}'', as seen in the gnome battle, depict the two developers as just heads and floating limbs. Not even a body.
165	* ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'': The Tasque Manager, introduced in Chapter 2, possesses floating FourFingeredHands.
166	* In ''VideoGame/RocoKingdom'', Huomiao, a fire {{mon}}, has flame hands that aren't connected to its body.
167	* In ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', all the players, including the imposters, possess floating hands that are always unseen where not in use.
168	* Ollin from ''VideoGame/BountyOfOne'' sports these, with his head and limbs detached from his body. It's justified in his case since he's [[OurGhostsAreDifferent a desert spirit]].
169	* ''VideoGame/SleepTight2021'': The PlayerCharacter's hands aren't attached to their body, but just float around.
170	* The main antagonist of ''VideoGame/DisneysMagicalMirrorStarringMickeyMouse'' is a ghost from a parallel world who has floating hands, but no visible arms.
171	* In ''VideoGame/{{OBAKEIDORO}}'' floating hands are a staple character design amongst the various ghostlike monsters. It's not just for show either, upon catching a human their hands will dump them off in the cell automatically and the monster has to wait for them to return before they can grab another.
172	* ''VideoGame/LonesomeVillage'''s art style depicts the FunnyAnimal characters with round hands and no visible arms.
173	* Akuma from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' has a detached head, adding to his otherwordly, demonic appearance.
174	* ''VideoGame/ATinyStickerTale'' has the same art style as the developers' earlier game ''Lonesome Village'', depicting the FunnyAnimal characters with visible feet but no legs, and round hands that appear to be floating.
175	* ''VideoGame/SonicDreamTeam'' introduces Ariem, a ram/sheep-like character. Her hands, as well as her bracelets, are disconnected from the rest of her body and hover in the air. Beyond that, it's unknown if any of her other limbs are also detached as she wears a turtlenecked robe that covers her neck, torso, and legs.

178	[[folder:Web Animation]]
179	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h91f9_5I9BE Acroboxle's]] hands don't have any distinguishing features, fingers thumbs, so they switch places constantly. The creators are [[http://www.centralcitytower.com/2010/08/history-acroboxle.html fully aware.]]
180	* Kinger of ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'' has hands that aren't connected to his body. This actually causes a problem when he tries to retrieve Zooble's head from the Gloinks... but because his hands aren't attached to anything, they just float off with it.
181	* ''WebAnimation/BentoBanana'': Plumpy has floating hands separate from his eggplant body.
182	* ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' characters have spherical floating hands, which has caused problems with body language, and disconnected feet. Except for the imps, who have triangular pointy limbs, which don't seem to be very solidly connected themselves. [[HypocriticalHumor This trope is "harshly" criticized]] in ZP's ''Videogame/RaymanOrigins'' review. This carries through to its [[CreatorDrivenSuccessor successor,]] ''WebAnimation/FullyRamblomatic''.
183	* The characters in ''WebAnimation/ExtraCredits'' have Floating Limbs with developed hands. When the main character talks from his podium though, he has full limbs.
184	* The characters in the "Lil' Peepz" and "Chibi Peepz" themes on Platform/GoAnimate are designed like this, with the former being more cartoony and the latter more animesque.
185	* All the robots from ''WebAnimation/{{Retropokon}}'' are this, as they're based on the robots from ''VideoGame/JoyMechFight''.
186	* The characters of ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat'' don't have arms or legs, merely a barely modeled head (with a cross to represent where their face would be drawn on), a simple body and floating hands with their feet directly attached to their body. Later semi-averted for Hank who gets a single arm after an EmergencyTransformation with the other hand still being a floating one.
187	** This is actually PlayedForHorror in one of the animations, ''An Experiment''. It answers the question of what happens when those floating hands are then put as far away from a Nevadean's body as possible. Turns out that it would be extremely painful for the test subject, and would cause them to glitch out, even being driven insane to the point that their faces are scraped against the wall over and over until [[FacialHorror the only thing that can be seen is their bloodied skull and scraped off flesh]]. And when they get their hands back, the world starts to distort and glitch out, culminating in the lab exploding once the subject dies.
188	* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Floating Hand Studios]] uses this for all of their ''X-Men'' flash cartoons.

196	* ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'' has a strip involving [[Platform/{{Wii}} Miis]] playing Ping Pong, and they don't have arms in this case. Lampshaded when one Mii dismembers his arm with the ping pong ball.

199	* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', where Sam's depiction of maker god Bob shows him with limbs that converge on an abscent torso.
200	* The eponymous heroine of ''Webcomic/{{Redd}}'' has hands like this, but it's a JustifiedTrope in that she was born without arms and controls mechanical hands with some sort of anti-gravity technology with her thoughts.
201	* In ''Webcomic/TailsOfLanschilandia'', BigBad Kakralomino appears to have no legs (there's an empty space between his feet and the rest of his body), but has perfectly normal arms.
202	* In ''Webcomic/{{Blitzcrafter}}'', certain scenes are rendered with predrawn sprites, which feature people's heads and limbs floating around a bean body.
203	* ''Webcomic/{{Outsider}}'': Exaggerated with the Emissary, an artificial intelligence who manifests a holographic body to interact with corporeal beings. Each piece of its projected body is separated from the others -- its limbs and head all float apart from the main body, and its crest and lower jaw float separately from the rest of its head.

216	* The Russian cartoon character ''Animation/VinniPukh'' has feet but no legs.
217	* In ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'', Little Twelvetoes's whole body seems to be put together this way. His hat, arms, and torso are made up of white stripe-looking segments separated by empty space. His legs are connected to his pelvis, but he can move them out of contact with his feet. Also, he can stick his hands, head, and feet on any limb he pleases.
