{{trope}}
[[File:Djinni 4236.jpg|link=Pathfinder (tabletop game)|
Perhaps a combination of [[Partial Transformation]] and [[Super Smoke]] or a general characteristic of beings that aren't of this earth, including but not limited to genies and ghosts. Characters with [[Title Drop|fog-feet]] operate as if they have a full anatomy, but some portion of their lower body is invisible or insubstantial.
Compare and contrast [[Invisible Anatomy]]. For the trope where feet are blurred due to speed, see [[Wheel-O-Feet]].
{{examples}}▼
Not to be confused with [[Arpeggio of Blue Steel|Fog Fleet]]. Nor is it to be confused with the poem "The Fog" by [[Carl Sandburg]], in which the fog comes in on little ''cat'' feet.
▲{{examples}}
== General ==
* This is a [[Our Genies Are Different|common representation of genies]]. While the upper torso appears solid, the legs ends in a wisp of smoke, generally connected to the [[Genie in a Bottle|lamp, bottle or whatever genie artefact]] they're supposedly coming from.

▲== Anime & Manga ==
* The unnamed "star" of the anime short ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byAfC5yW_hw Gisoku no Moses]'', who teams up with a pair of haunted tap shoes to dance to "Moses Supposes" from ''[[Singin' in the Rain]]''.
▲* [[Cute Ghost Girl|Sayo]] from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' even manages to ''[[Dojikko|trip]]'' over her nonexistant legs.
== Comic Books ==
* Secret from the comic book version of ''[[Young Justice (comics)|Young Justice]]''.
* Veil from ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers Academy]]''.

== Films -- Live-Action ==
* The library ghost in ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Charmed]]'' has demons made of smoke; they wear cloaks and don't have feet, but still hover and such.
▲== Myths & Religion ==
* In Japanese mythology, Ghosts don't have legs.
== Tabletop Games ==
Line 43 ⟶ 38:
** Water and Air archons have this too.
* ''[[Pathfinder]]'': Wendigos have legs, just not feet.

Line 52 ⟶ 46:

== Web Comics ==
Line 60 ⟶ 53:
* Kernelsprites in ''[[Homestuck]]'', which is appropriate since most are prototyped with and take on the memories and form of dead people close to the player. Curiously, though, actual dead people and ghosts {{spoiler|such as Aradia}} ''don't'' follow this trope.
== Web Original ==
* The [[Short Film]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byAfC5yW_hw "Gisoku no mōzesu" ("Moses with prosthetic feet", roughly)] on [[YouTube]] features a [[Cute Ghost Girl]] who has Fog Feet teaming up with [[Animate Inanimate Object|a pair of animated shoes]] to dance to the song "Moses Supposes" from ''[[Singin' in the Rain]]''.
