Best Giant Hands

by mento

Man, that Datura QL sure was something, right? "No, not really"? Suit yourselves.

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Datura

1. Datura

As depicted in the QL, everything in this game appears to be controlled by a scary disembodied hand.

Super Smash Bros.

2. Super Smash Bros.

Master Hand was probably the first thing you guys thought of, right? Unless you're more into Crazy Hand. It's okay, I don't judge.

Xenoblade Chronicles

3. Xenoblade Chronicles

The Fallen Arm area of Xenoblade is, like much of the rest of the geography, part of a giant monster. The Hidden Village of the Machina is cosily resting in the giant hand's palm.

Turrican

4. Turrican

So most of the rest of this list are giant hand bosses. Cool? Turrican's giant metal fist robot is probably one example where a boss's fame outshines that of the game it features in.

Andross

5. Andross

"Only I have the giant ape paws to rule Lylat!"

Kirby Super Star

6. Kirby Super Star

Wham Bam Rock sure is a racially-insensitive giant hand boss.

Bongo Bongo

7. Bongo Bongo

This guy's a little terrifying at first, mostly because he's a giant cycloptic horror that lives in an endless void, but then you realise you're fighting a bongo player and the tension all but vanishes. The day I get spooked by a giant zombie Matthew McConaughey is the day I pack it all in and throw myself off a bridge.

Wall Master

8. Wall Master

Zelda's other big annoying limb-related enemy are these things. Along with their more upwardly mobile Floor Master brethren, these things like to grab you and deposit you at the start of dungeons. Jerks.

The Addams Family

9. The Addams Family

Thing might not be giant, but he's still a handy little guy to have around. I should've just said he's a practical little guy. Always with the goddamn puns.

Glover

10. Glover

I... I don't want to talk about Glover too much. I will say that, unlike the rest of the hands on this list, he at least has enough decorum to wear clothes.
