winged arms

post #609185 post #181193 post #227773

Wings hybridized with arms, they have fully fledged opposable hands and arms with wingspan. Wing arms generally replace the arms of bipedal characters. They are commonly feathered wings or sometimes membranous wings.

A character with wing arms is probably not feral because proper hands skew toward anthro or humanoid whereas ferals rarely have hands outside of dinosaurs like raptors.

Do not confuse with

No wings - Winged_arms implicates the wings tag. Do not tag if the character does not have credible wings. Wing arms do not need to convince us of their ability to maintain flight or aid in gliding, but they must have some recognizable wing features along the arm.

Separate wings - Do not tag for normal, handless wings and normal, wingless arms appearing on the same character. Just tag [type]_wings.

Claws, digits, "partial hands" - Do not tag for wings with incomplete, non-opposable hands. For wings with claws (and perhaps some digits) but not complete hands, consider tagging wing_claws instead. This is commonly seen on bats and fantasy scalies with membranous wings.

No hands - An anthro or humanoid with no hands but convincingly flight-capable wings does not have winged arms but should qualify for the realistic_wings tag instead. This tag can overlap with wing claws.

Feather hands - Some feathered wings or wingless, feathery arms are drawn with extraordinarily flexible and strong feathers used as substitutes for fingers. They are usually unnaturally bent, perhaps holding or at least touching something, or may just look like palms with feather-shaped fingers. We tag this feather_hands. This tag was not meant to overlap with winged arms.
