Line 19:
* The ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' characters in [[Art Shift]] mode.
* [[Doraemon]] doesn't have any visible fingers, yet he is able to do things normal people can do, with some minor appearance of his fingers.
** That's because he has a sticky-thing on each of his hand.<ref>It's an extremely localized magnetic field, apparently</ref>. He also hates the fact that he can only play rock in rock, paper, scissors.
* Mesousa in ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]''. One of his many laments was that he had no thumbs or fingers of any kind, and could barely manipulate objects.

* Most ''[[Bionicle]]'' characters prior to the '09 line of sets (which first introduced an original hand-piece) manipulated things with their unmoving "hands" in animation, ''if'' you can even call those pieces they had hands. Clenched fists, open palms, pointing finger -- thesefinger—these were all accomplished by the same inarticulate [[LEGO]] piece. Even if a character had fingers, some animations still depicted objects simply sticking to their palms. Averted in the [[Direct to Video]] movies, in which they were given five, at times [[Four-Fingered Hands|four-fingered]] hands. Strangely played straight in a scene from the first movie, however, when Takua uses a never-before seen magnetic force to pull a wooden staff to his palm. In fact [[Word of God]] claimed that when we don't see the characters using fingers, they utilize their magnetic abilities (also used for keeping their masks on their faces and backpacks on their backs, no matter what material they're made of).

Line 39:
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has this, despite producer Lauren Faust apparently placing clear orders against their use. Although most of the time ponies use their mouths or magic to manipulate objects, there are cases where they grab things with their hooves. To be fair this is normally a script issue, one storyboard artist relating a tale of a script requiring a character to [[Face Palm|use a pointer and speak at the same time.]] Every once in a while they'll come up with a clever aversion though (such as an umbrella that is connected to a saddle rather than having to be held).
** The older ''[[My Little Pony]] Tales'' series had them use their hooves as hands almost exclusively, with no difficulties, no explanations, and no lampshading.
** ''[[My Little Pony]]'' is far from the first instance of equine tool use -- theuse—the Houyhnhnm from ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]'' hold items between the hoof and the pastern.
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]] and possibly the [[Trope Codifier]].
** [[Lampshaded]] in an episode in which the Powerpuff Girls end up switching bodies with Professor Utonium, Miss Bellum and the Mayor, leading to Buttercup having trouble using Prof. Utonium's hands.
