Revision as of 14:13, 8 April 2014

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 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.
