| "Where's the rest of him?" -Enid Sinclair to Wednesday Addams about Thing[src] |
Disembodied is an unofficial term used to refer to outcasts who consist solely of a body part. Other terms include: disembodied parts, living extensions, conscious fragments, detached, and parts.
History[]
The Addams Family[]
Initially depicted as hands that would appear from boxes, it was implied that they were the only parts of creatures that weren't too horrifying to look at. They retained this appearance from the original comics through The Addams Family series and Halloween with the New Addams Family until it was reimagined as a disembodied sentient hand in the 1991 film The Addams Family. The second version of these hands remained the dominant depiction in later adaptations.
Wednesday[]
In the Wednesday series, more than just the hands were explored; in the second season, other living parts were seen, such as eyes, legs, and detached ears. Even Professor Orloff is a head in a preserving jar, dependent on an energy machine that keeps him alive and wheels to be able to move.
Description[]
They are disembodied body parts.

Diet[]
In Wednesday, the disembodied are capable of consuming food and beverages by some means. Thing could get drunk while Professor Orloff could eat. The mechanism of possibility was questioned by Enid Sinclair, but she decided it wasn't an answer she wanted.
