May be the predecessor to ArtificialLimbs, ArmCannon, HookHand, or SwissArmyAppendage. Frequently appears in the backstory of a HandicappedBadass. If played for laughs, it's AmusingInjuries; if there's no lasting damage it's OnlyAFleshWound. If it's a severed hand, expect it to be used in a DeadHandShot. A character with AppendageAssimilation will simply stitch a new appendage on the gaping hole, and a character with a sufficiently powerful HealingFactor will grow the appendage back before long. Expect these characters to be extra-likely to lose their limbs in the first place so their abilities can be shown off.

** The Irish god Nuada does something similar to the [=MacAllister=] above. The first to touch Irish soil will be the one who rules, so in order to defeat his rival, he cuts off his own hand and throws it onto the beach. (Problem is, a maimed man cannot rule, so he has to wait until another god builds him a silver hand.)

* ''WebAnimation/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged'': Barrett's comment in episode 3 strongly implies that he ripped a passenger's arm off while beating him up for [[PapaWolf questioning his parenting]].
-->'''Barrett:''' I would like to take a moment... ''(blood drips off his gun arm)'' and apologize for what happened on the train.\\
'''Cloud:''' I mean... apologies accepted, but you spent so much time beating that guy up that we missed our stop and had to jump off.\\
'''Barrett:''' Well, I'm sorry. I just wanted to show that man what it would be like being a parent with one arm.\\
'''Cloud:''' That's, uh... That's... pleasant.
