Basic Trope: Characters drawn without a certain part of the body are suddenly given that body part for a moment.
- Straight: Bob is ordinarily drawn without any fingers, but sometimes has fingers in cases where he'd need to use them.
- Exaggerated: Bob is ordinarily drawn as a simple shape with no extra features, but sometimes grows certain body parts when he needs them.
- Downplayed:
- Bob is ordinarily drawn with Four-Fingered Hands, but sometimes gains an extra finger if counting or something similar.
- Alice normally has Monochromatic Eyes, but gains pupils in one scene.
- Justified: Bob is a shapeshifter.
- Inverted:
- Bob is ordinarily drawn with five fingers, but gains Fingerless Hands in one scene.
- Invisible Anatomy
- Subverted: Bob attempts to count on his fingers but then remembers that he doesn't actually have fingers.
- Double Subverted: Then his fingers suddenly appear when he realizes he'd need them to count.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: Bob's finger count is wildly inconsistent, to the point that nobody knows how many fingers he normally has.
- Averted: Simplified characters (if there are any) are never drawn with a sudden extra body part.
- Enforced:
- It was an animation error.
- Rule of Funny
- Bob is usually easier to draw without fingers, so the animators avoid giving him fingers unless he specifically needs them.
- Bob is being drawn in the style of the other show
- Lampshaded: "I didn't realize Bob had fingers."
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
