[[AC:{{Literature}}]] * Creator/MichaelMoorcock's ''Literature/{{Corum}}'' stories. In the first trilogy Corum loses his left hand and right eye, and is given the Hand of Kwll and the Eye of Krynn to replace them. These items were originally part of the ultra-powerful beings Kwll and Krynn, who were disabled by their loss. [[AC:{{Mythology}}]] * EgyptianMythology. After the god Set killed the god Osiris, he ripped his body into 14 pieces and scattered them across the world. The goddess Isis gathered up all of the body parts except his phallus (which had been eaten by a catfish) and bandaged them together like a mummy. The other Egyptian deities then resurrected him...well, ''almost'' all of him. * NorseMythology ** (Hodur example) ** The Allfather Odin was missing one eye. He sacrificed one of his eyes at Mimir's Well in order to gain the Wisdom of Ages. ** The god Tyr was depicted as missing one hand. When the gods wanted to bind Fenrir (the Fenris Wolf) with the magical ribbon Gleipnir, Fenris refused to let Gleipnir be put upon him unless one of the gods put his hand in Fenris' mouth. The god Tyr volunteered to do so. When Fenris found he couldn't escape Gleipnir, he bit Tyr's hand off. [[AC:TabletopGames]] * ''TabletopGame/{{Hackmaster}}'' supplement ''Gawds & Demi-Gawds''. In the world of Aldrazar (the ''TabletopGame/{{Hackmaster}}'' campaign setting) the greater gawd Luvia is blind. This gives him a -4 to hit in combat.
