History Main / GiantHandsOfDoom

* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'': The boss Skeletron is depicted as a flying skull, with hands and arms. He has a version later in the game called Skeletron Prime, who, as well as attacking with his hands which are now equiped with a vice and a drill, will also shoot lasers and bombs from his other pair of arms.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' : ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' has the boss battle with Ichirin and her [[SuperSmoke cloud youkai familiar]], Unzan. She attacks with giant fists [[BulletHell danmaku]], which also leave trails of smaller bullets. Ichirin herself is basically [[MemeticMutation Unzan's hitbox]].

* ''VideoGame/WarioLand3'': [[spoiler:Rudy the MonsterClown]], the final boss, stays in the background of the fight, and attacks with his fists that are kept in the foreground. The "grabbing and squeezing" attack is also the only way in the whole game to get a GameOver.
%%* ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'': [[spoiler:Ironsider]], a broken minotaur statue, can be defeated by throwing or pile-driving one of its hands into its head.

%%** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': Bongo Bongo, a boss example.
%%** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': Gohdan.
%%** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'':
%%*** Ramrock from ''Ages''.
%%*** General Onox from ''Seasons''.
%%** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'': Mazaal, who is similar to Gohdan in 2D, except you have to climb inside the head to damage it.

%%** ''VideoGame/LinksCrossbowTraining'': The Twilit Fossil Stallord.

** Bongo Bongo from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', a boss example.
** Gohdan from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' (pictured above).
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'':
*** Ramrock from ''Ages''.
*** General Onox from ''Seasons''.
** Mazaal from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'', who is similar to Gohdan in 2D, except you have to climb inside the head to damage it.
** Zant's Hands from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' are just as creepy as the Wallmasters. On each side of the Twilight Palace, Link must remove a Sol from one of the hands and carry it outside through several complicated rooms while continually being chased by the hand. If the hand succeeds in grabbing a Sol, it will carry it back to the last room and force Link to start all over again.
** The Twilit Fossil Stallord from ''VideoGame/LinksCrossbowTraining''.
* The first to be used as a boss may have been the first form of Zoda from ''VideoGame/StarTropics'', fought at the beginning of the last stage. He attacks with Giant Hands Of Doom and then brings the head out for some fireball action, at which point you can use your blaster or your Super Nova on him, or just the blaster, because you start with only three hearts for this battle, and using the Yo-Yo against him is insane.
* In ''Videogame/DonkeyKong94'', after you seemingly beat Donkey Kong for the final time, it turns out that there's one more boss fight with the big ape left. After his fall from the tower in the previous level, Donkey Kong absorbs a ton of Super Mushrooms and grows into a giant gorilla in a battle where he uses his newfound giant fists to try and crush you. In order to beat him you need to hit his head with barrels six times instead of the usual three.
* In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'', [[spoiler:Tiki Tong]] uses this strategy against the Kongs.
* ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'': Kerozene's hands in the GBA remake.

** [[spoiler:Eternatus' Eternamax form]], the ClimaxBoss of ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' is a more straightforward example than Haunter, as [[SecretAIMoves this form is fought only as a boss]] and the only part of it in range of the battlefield is a giant hand that appears to have a thumb on both sides. However, the only typical hand boss action it does is swat it's hand on the battlefield.
* Wham Bam Rock and [[spoiler:Wham Bam Jewel]] from ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''. Many of his attacks were eventually used for Master Hand (and his insane left handed counterpart, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Crazy Hand]]) in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''.
* One of the bosses from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' is Eyerok, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin two hands made out of rock with large eyeballs on the palms]]. Unsurprisingly, these eyes are also [[AttackItsWeakPoint a weak point]].
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' had Bouldergeist, a big blockheaded ghost with giant destructible (but regenerating) hands of stone. He also shoots rocks that turn into exploding ghosts.
* [[{{Mayincatec}} Knucklotec]] in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' is similar to Eyerok, in that the key to defeating him is in his own hands. However, rather than there being a weak point on the hands themselves, the object is to [[BodySurf assume control over them]] and make him [[StopHittingYourself punch himself in the face]].
* [[spoiler:Magolor's OneWingedAngel form]] in ''Videogame/KirbysReturnToDreamland''.
* Andross from ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' uses these. Ever since his appearance in this particular game he is almost always depicted as a giant floating head and hands, with no explanation of how he got that way.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' has Master Hand, and from ''Melee'' onward, Crazy Hand, too. [[DualBoss Sometimes you have to fight them both at the same time.]]
** By the way, that list of attacks up above? Master Hand can do them all and then some (well, it couldn't squeeze you or shoot lasers before ''Melee'', but yeah). The only of those that Crazy Hand cannot do is walking on two fingers. Instead, he crawls on all five fingers, rather like a spider.
** If Master Hand teams up with Crazy Hand, they can do ''even more'' attacks, such as smashing the player character in a giant clapping motion, crushing him/her between two fists, have one slap the ground while the other uses the FingerGun, etc.
* [[spoiler:Rudy the MonsterClown]], the final boss of ''VideoGame/WarioLand3'', though [[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0005/03/page2.html concept art]] shows him with arms. The "grabbing and squeezing" attack is also the only way in the whole game to get a GameOver.
* [[spoiler:Ironsider]], a broken Minotaur statue who appears in ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'', can be defeated by throwing or pile-driving one of the bosses hands into the head.
* A good player character example are the disembodied Psynergy hands in the ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' games. While the old generation used them to move or lift objects, the new generation have weaponized them to crush boulders or slap stuff.
** In ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'', Isaac appears as an Assist Trophy and uses Move. To push your opponents. [[MundaneMadeAwesome Off the stage.]]
* [[spoiler:Cackletta's Ghost]], the final boss of ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', is styled this way. You have to destroy the head and hands before the heart is revealed.
* [[spoiler:Dreamy Bowser]], the final boss of ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'', has this to a lesser extent. You only have to destroy the right hand to attack the head, but the left hand can grab one of the bros, forcing you to attack it to get him back. While the other final bosses of the series, [[spoiler:the Elder Princess Shroob's second form and the Dark Star Core]], fight similarly, only these two actually utilize this trope to a notable extent.

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' has [[spoiler:DJ Octavio, who is damaged when you knock his mech's giant fists back at him by shooting them before they hit the ground]].

** The final form of [[spoiler:Yami, the final boss]] is a giant hand attached to an orb.
*** This is repeated in ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'', where [[spoiler:Yami]] is again the final boss. Its grab super is downright ''lethal''.
** His successor in ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', [[spoiler:Akuro]], goes with the more standard approach to this trope in his first form.
** In the sunken ship area, there is a room where a giant seaweed-monster thing lives. When you enter the room, two gigantic hands rise out of the water and attempt to crush Ammy and/or push her off into the waters below. Fortunately, the monster can be killed by draining the water from the room, and then rolling spiked cylinders across its face until it dies.
* Queen Zeal's [[OneWingedAngel second form]] from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', though her head also fires spells. Hitting the hands provokes dangerous counterattacks, but you'll want to steal from each of them to get some valuable equipment.

** Norstein Bekkler, who runs the minigame tent in the present day Millennium Fair, is a non-boss example
* Several ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZero Zero]]'' games have the final boss transform into their giant form, then attack with massive hands and lasers... and hands shooting lasers.
** The Keeper minibosses in ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'' in Strike Man's stage is a good example of giant hands punching a ball and Mega Man in order to attempt to do damage.
** The final boss of ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' sometimes takes a break from raining projectiles on you and tries to punch you. You can jump on the fist to reach his head and attack his weakpoint.
** ''VideoGame/MegaManV'''s incarnation of the Wily Machine has the player fighting both of its hands, individually, before fighting the Wily Machine itself. The arms are capable of slamming down on the ground to hit Mega Man or toss him into the air, and they can also shoot missiles. The second one can also grab Mega Man to ensure those missiles hit him.
* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'', the final boss Deathtamoor, "discards this worthless body" and becomes a giant demonic head and pair of hands in his last phase.
* The final boss of ''VideoGame/{{Pulseman}}'' is another "Head and Hands" type boss who shoots energy balls from his hands, punches, and pounds the ground to summon minions.
* ''VideoGame/BombermanGeneration'' has one as a boss in one of the desert stages.
* The third Boss in ''VideoGame/{{Contra}} III''.
* The first Boss in ''VideoGame/IllusionOfGaia''.
* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'': [[HandicappedBadass Ibaraki-dōji]]'s special attack in which he plants his severed right arm into the ground, making a huge hand appear from under an enemy and crush them. This skill deals a devastating amount of damage.

** ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles''

** ''VideoGame/Sonic3DFlickiesIsland''

** ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Advance|Trilogy}} 2'''s Egg Saucer is basically a giant wheel-like vehicle with the cockpit and weak point, a laser, and a huge hand. The hand hurts like hell, and if it hits you directly, you are likely to die instantly. Makes this ThatOneBoss.
** Hyper Eggrobo of ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Advance|Trilogy}} 3'' attacks with such hands, and you have to use them as platforms to hit the boss.
* The fourth level boss of the licensed ''[[VideoGame/TaleSpinCapcom TaleSpin]]'' game for the NES, the massive "invisible gentleman". It defends itself with punches from its floating, white-gloved hands. The weak point? The bow tie, obviously.
* The Red Dragon from the ''VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' arcade games is much like this. Tower of Doom's Flamewing attacked not only with the claws, but with fireballs, rockfalls, and his fire breath. He was by far the toughest boss in the entire game.
* The final form of [[spoiler:Julius]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyAdventure'' is technically one of the "disembodied head and hands" variety, even though all he did was teleport and shoot fireballs. This was apparently a fan-favorite boss, however, as one of the most common complaints about the remake ''VideoGame/SwordOfMana'' is that this form wasn't present.
* Kologarn, a boss in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'''s donjon Ulduar. He's an entire giant golem, but most of his attacks come from his two hands (which are also directly killable). Also, yes, his eyes shoot laser beams.
* While not exactly giant, the titular Glover and the BigBad Cross-Stitch were gloves. Cross-Stitch was certianly a lot more [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Doomy]], though.
* The final battle versus [[spoiler:Abaddon]] in ''VideoGame/GuildWars Nightfall''.
* Vysage, Lefty, and Righty are usually found together in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. At one point, though, the three make up the first stage of a boss battle.

* The Clock Tower boss in ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' is this type of boss.
* The Boss battle with Electro in ''VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions'' does this with electricity-shooting hands.
* Stlunko from ''VideoGame/Stinkoman20X6''.
* ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' has several:
** The Shrine boss, Dorman, and Jabir's [[OneWingedAngel second form]] in ''V''.
** Orjugan in ''[[Videogame/YsVITheArkOfNapishtim The Ark of Napishtim]]''.
** Galbalan in ''[[Videogame/YsTheOathInFelghana The Oath in Felghana]]''.
* The Super Fighting Robot from ''VideoGame/ScottPilgrim'' attacks with detachable hands, which also happen to be the only parts you can damage. Meanwhile the rest of the body chills in the background, invincible but still attacking you with lasers, missiles, and a flamethrower.
* Balore from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' punches at you with his hands at first, then switches to a laser fired from his eye (which is his weakpoint). ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow Dawn of Sorrow]]'' as well as ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin Portrait of Ruin]]'' also feature him, but he's a little different and only alternates between his laser and hands.
* ''VideoGame/AliceMadnessReturns'' uses this for the final encounter.
* The first boss in ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'' is the Fist of Grudge, a pair of Katherine's hands holding a giant fork.
* The ''player'' can use these in the ''VideoGame/{{Deception}}'' series as a type of trap. Typically, the either grab an invader to lock him in place for a while, or they bash him/her around to cause high amounts of damage.
* Defense System Gepetto from ''VideoGame/{{NieR}}'', being an {{Expy}} of Gohdan, has two giant floating hands as his main weapons. They can not only smash you, but they also shoot [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] from their fingertips.
* One of the early level bosses from the Amiga classic ''VideoGame/{{Turrican}}'' is a giant mechanical fist flying around trying to crush the player.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Valis}} IV'' for the UsefulNotes/PCEngine, the second stage boss is a floating head and pair of hands.
* The mage Hockomonkey in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' periodically disappears, leaving a multitude of its disembodied hands behind to swipe at you and throw parts of the environment, only reappearing once they've all been destroyed. This is especially annoying in the rematch, where the combined HP of them rivals that of the boss itself.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' you have to fight a boss, Skeletron, to be able to explore the dungeon: if you don't, large skulls will fly at you from nowhere if you go in too deep and kill you instantly. Skeletron is depicted as a flying skull, with hands and arms. He has a version later in the game called Skeletron Prime, who, as well as attacking with his hands which are now equiped with a vice and a drill, will also shoot lasers and bombs from his other pair of arms.
* ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', the twelfth ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' feature the boss battle with Ichirin and her [[SuperSmoke cloud youkai familiar]], Unzan. Unzan will attack you with giant fists [[BulletHell danmaku]] (the [[FanNickname Brofist]]), which also leave trails of smaller bullets. Ichirin herself is basically [[MemeticMutation Unzan's hitbox]].
* Both ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' feature the 'Hand' type Shadow, which is basically a walking, disembodied hand. Most of them are quite small, but some of the MetalSlime variants are huge.
* Several boss battles in ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice'' is against Mao's dad, or more specifically, his hand. You see, Mao's father is so huge that even his fingers are several times the size of the average character. Somehow, the game treats destroying all his fingers as completely beating himself.
* Dark Falz Elder in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' sics [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four of his hands]] on you (Which look like bizarre hydras; the two outermost fingers being legs, and the other three heads) for the first phase of his fight, remaining in the background to launch lasers and meteors at you while the hands attack directly with the sorts of moves you might expect. They occasionally mix things up by pairing off or summoning numerous additional hands onto the field to perform combination attacks.
* The Golem Mine boss of ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'', complete with a giant head that [[AttackItsWeakPoint has a weak point]] that you could reach by stepping on its giant hands.
* [[spoiler:Mega Satan]], the TrueFinalBoss of ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac Rebirth'', has two hands which have their own health, and can respawn once killed, though they don't do much besides protect [[spoiler:Mega Satan's]] head and smash the ground, sending out shockwaves, and [[spoiler:Mega Satan]] [[DidntNeedThoseAnyway ditches them once he goes to his next phase.]] Hilariously, because the hands are treated as separate entities than the head, it's possible to charm one of the hands and have it [[StopHittingYourself smash his own head.]]
* In ''VideoGame/TitanSouls'', both Gol-Iath and Gol-Set use their giant hands to attack the archer; the latter of the bosses needing to be dealt with by guiding the hands toward panels which when pressed, expose the boss's weak spot.
* The final boss of ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheOldBlood'' is a rare first-person shooter example of this type of boss.
* In ''VideoGame/ImmortalRedneck'', the first pyramid's final boss: Weryt. He uses his hands to slap you, send airwaves, homing missiles and also to punch the floor. Under his head, there are several weak points the player needs to break.

* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'', Jaan can enlarge her hands to help her fight enemies.

* [=STRength=] from ''Anime/BlackRockShooter'' uses a pair of [[PowerFist giant gauntlets]] as her weapons.
* In ''Anime/FutureCardBuddyfight'', Gao's newly evolved Dragon Force "Style of Impact" includes a pair of big fists.
* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', Kendo's power is to make her hands grow. [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower She gets a lot of use out of it.]]
* In the ''Manga/ShadowStar'' manga [[spoiler:humanity meets its end being slapped away to oblivion by gigantic hands coming out from the Earth itself]]. Seriously.
* In ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', the heroes face loads and loads of Moon-sized, hand-(or foot-)shaped mechas. With ''faces''. [[spoiler:Thank you, Anti-Spiral]].
* In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', [[ManInTheMachine Z-One]] uses these and a giant Deck to duel.
* In ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'', Girag has this trope as his deck's theme. All of his monsters are just hands/arms. His ace monsters are Number 106: Giant Hand and Number C106: Giant Red Hand. His deck is more defensive than offensive.

* [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070421 The Teleporter]] in ''ComicBook/{{Buck Godot|Zap Gun for Hire}}'' is shown this way. He can generate as many hands as he needs.
* This is one of the most frequent applications of [[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 Ms. Marvel]]'s [[RubberMan stretching powers]].
