Misused: Extendable Arms

?

This character can stretch certain parts of their body outward great distances, though how far the parts can stretch varies from character to character. The body part in question is usually their arms, though stretchy legs and the like aren't unheard of. These limbs are incredibly useful for combat or even simple practicality, as it's like having a fully controllable whip with a claw or blunt object at the end.

Related to but distinct from Rubber Man; while a rubber man is able to mold and shape their whole body without much care for physics, someone with extendable limbs is limited by the limbs they're able to stretch, and still abide by the physiology of their species. For example, a man made of rubber might flatten and enlarge his hands to flip someone like a pancake, while someone with extending arms can only stretch them to grab at or punch something.

I don’t think I have any more feedback for now.

I'll be swapping the description in two hours, after I launch the TLP — any more suggestions/improvements?

It's done!! :D

I've already sent redirect requests, so the only thing left is to go through Extendable Arms' wicks and transfer any "Toon Physics gag" examples to Elongating Arm Gag. I've already gone through the correct wicks of my wick check, so everything else is fair game. To save some time, here's all the tropes that use the new definition for Extendable Arms from my wickcheck:

I'll also be posting the above to the Rename/Transplant Wick Cleaning thread.

I'll try to finish this up.

Also, I noticed that sometimes we have the same example listed...as both. Let's not do that; otherwise, someone will bring this trope back as a duplicate trope.

I think I went through all the wicks; did character sheets last.

Calling it done; closing.
