Description
A character with one or more amputated major limbs (arms, legs, wings, tail) which may or may not be replaced with prosthetics.
If the missing limbs have been replaced with electromechanical prosthetics, use the cyborg tag.
For characters with body plans that originally include both arms and legs, missing_wings, and missing_tail are often not counted toward the total number of missing limbs, and the same applies for artificial limbs.
