Line 8:
May also be a [[Red Right Hand]].
There's quite a cultural basis for this effect: As humans, we've always been fascinated superstitiously by the way our own bodies work and where our own consciousness lies. Also [[Truth in Television]] as the brain condition known as
A subtrope of [[Organ Autonomy]]. No connection to ''[[The Night of the Hunter]]''. If they can be removed or otherwise remain [[Helping Hands|separate entities]] they can be an [[Attack Animal]] or [[Living Weapon]].
''[[Evil Hand/Trope Co|This item]] is available in the [[Trope Co]] catalog.''

▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Shinichi from the manga ''[[Parasyte]]'' wound up with a talking, shapeshifting alien symbiote hand after managing to prevent it from spreading to and consuming his brain. In a bit of a subversion, since its fate is tied to its host's survival, Migi is actually pretty cooperative and tries to look out for Shinichi's best interests, but has no concept of human empathy or standards of behavior—in response to his host's attraction to a girl in his class, it turns into a ''giant penis'' in the middle of a restaurant, and that's just not right!
Line 115:
* In one Treehouse of Horror episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', recurring gangster Snake was placed in the electric chair and killed, while his hair was harvested to use as a wig, which contained his personality. Anyone who wore the wig began to act just like him as it slowly took over their body and mind.
* In the ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' episode "The Gauntlet" one of the bullies at Ben's school finds a robot hand which lets you shoot lasers. Guess who is the baddie of the episode.
* ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers|Galaxy Rangers]]'' episode "Rogue Arm". Pretty much [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. The Queen comes up with a [[Magitek]] method of tampering with Zach's bionics. Hilarity does ''not'' Ensue.
