History Main / CreepyLongFingers

* Jafar from ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' has exaggeratedly long fingers.

* [[spoiler:King Candy/Turbo]] from ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' after [[AssimilationBackfire he merges with a Cybug]].

* The Marionette from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'' has long, talon-like fingers.

** Interestingly, the subservient and almost completely harmless House Elves are often described as having long-fingers as well.

* Eugene Victor Tooms from ''Series/TheXFiles'' episodes "Squeeze" and "Tooms" can elongate his body, including fingers, which he demonstrates when squeezing himself through a chimney into someone's house to murder them (as pictured atop this article). Bonus points for the creepily long fingerprints.

These characters are likely to use their big hands in subtle or overt expressive ways, and comparisons to skeletons and [[ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire spiders]] are common. They'll usually gesticulate with surgeon like precision or [[MarionetteMotion herky-jerky motions]]. Outright inhuman creepy long fingers may have extra knuckles or [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] style finger attachments that can double as weapons.

* Likewise, eunuchs castrated before puberty were documented as having long fingers, along with CreepilyLongArms (and legs) and a CreepyHighPitchedVoice. Eunuchs have often been [[EunuchsAreEvil characterised as sinister]] throughout history, though that has at least as much to do with their powerful positions behind the scenes in various monarchies as it does with their physical features.

Often overlaps with the similar CreepilyLongArms. Goes well with the stretched-out physiques of NoodlePeople. [[FemmeFatalons Long fingernails]] are usually included as well.

* The demon from the ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' episode "Kill Billie, Vol. 1" had these, along with FemmeFatalons.

* The titular monsters in the ''VideoGame/{{Boogeyman}} [[VideoGame/Boogeyman2 games]] sport some. Though, in the former's case, it's more Creepy Long Fingernails.

* Aurra Sing in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. Along with chalk white skin, a bald head with a single tail of hair, and an antenna protruding from that same bald head. It's never explained of what species exactly she is.

* Chip and Skip from ''WesternAnimaiton/CampLazlo'' claims that Leaky Lake contains the bodies of dead outlaws, whose fingernails are still growing. Apparently, they can get so long that they will [[LastGraspAtLife reach out and grab your boat]].

* Film/{{Nosferatu}}'s hands have long fingers.

** And anyone else who LooksLikeOrlock.

* The Lizard King from ''[[WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins 3-2-1 Penguins!]]'' reveals his long, bony fingers to Michelle to show her that he has a good chance of winning the game of Squid-Tac-Toad.

* Lorien, the First One from season 4 of BabylonFive. A semi-subversion: he's a good guy. Still a bit creepy, though...
--> No one here is exactly what he seems. (G'Kar}

* Creator/{{Valve|Software}} kinda love this trope, just look at the Witch from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' or headcrab zombies from ''VideoGame/HalfLife''. The absolute king is ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'''s [[FinalBoss the Nihilanth]], whose fingers are at least three meters long and about as long as his torso.

** This has given the aye-aye a reputation as being bad luck. It is said that if an aye-aye were to point its middle finger at you, a horrible death will follow (granted there ''is'' an element of truth to this; the aye-aye's middle finger certainly ends up causing its ''prey'' a horrible death). Sadly, this has also led to its species being endangered, as people have been known to kill aye-ayes due to this superstition.
