Removable Limbs

Sometimes called "amputation", Removable Limbs is a term used to describe the ability of some characters to physically amputate parts of their body without detriment to their health. In some cases, the removed limb may be able to grow back as healthy and strong as the original. It stands to reason that in such cases, the discarded limb dies and becomes inert.

This ability can also refer to "remote motor control" where detached limbs can still function independently of the body, either through the will of the owner or via its own instinct or sentience.
