[[folder:Boy Fingers]]
A smaller version of Salad Fingers that grew out of his back.

* BornAsAnAdult: Seems fully capable of speech right from the get go. If he's at all incoherent, he's not LESS coherent than the original Salad Fingers. Salad Fingers does spend time raising him as a "child", but he quickly becomes barely distinguishable from his "parent".
* DreamWalker: Claims to have been this to Salad Fingers for decades, suggesting he existed in some sense before having a distinct body from the original Salad Fingers.
