Demon Hand

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, 2014 is the unique ability of Piccolo, thanks to his Demon Clan heritage. Using his regenerative abilities he alters the structure of his arms to stretch.
Some media depicts this ability - under the name Namek Finger - as a racially exclusive variation of the Mystic Attack used by Namekians to stretch their arms in order to grab and attack opponents.
==Overview==
A Namekian user stretches their arms by expanding and contracting the cells in their body through willpower.
This allows them to grab and attack opponents that are out of the normal reach of the user's unstretched arms.
==Usage==
This technique was used first by Piccolo during his match against Krillin at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.
In Dragon Ball Super, Piccolo uses the technique to wrap his arm around Frost to constrict his opponent in a snake-like manner.
After copying Piccolo's abilities, Seven-Three uses the technique against him.
Majin Ozotto uses this technique against to absorb Gohan in his Piccolo's form.
==Film Appearances==
In Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might, Piccolo uses Demon Hand during the battle with Turles. 
In Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug, Lord Slug showcases the technique. He also uses it as part of his Power of Darkness attack.
In Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, Piccolo uses it to combat Salza in the forest.
In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Orange Piccolo uses it to restrain Cell Max to allow Gohan Beast to finish him off.
==Variations==
*Demon Pursuit Attack - A rush attack variation of Demon Hand used by Fused with Nail Piccolo in Dragon Ball Legends.
*Demon Whip Attack - A two-handed variation of Demon Hand used by Piccolo in Cooler's Revenge.
*Evil Flight Strike - A variation used by Piccolo as one of his Super Skills in the Xenoverse series.
*Amazing Spear - A variation used by Namekian Tekka and several minor playable Namekian characters in Dragon Ball Fusions.
*Super Decoy - A stronger version of Demon Hand with greater range which appears as a learnable Special Move in Dragon Ball Fusions.
==Video Game Appearances==
*Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z
*Dragon Ball Fusions
*Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
*Dragon Ball Legends
In Battle of Z, it is named Demon Hand where it appears as an attack used by Piccolo.
In Xenoverse 2, it is named Namek Finger where it appears as a Super Skill used by Nail and Lord Slug. It can be obtained and used by a Namekian Future Warrior as it is exclusive to Namekians. However, randomly generated Majin Time Patrollers are able to use the skill, but in the skill description it only shows Namekians being the only race to use the skill.
Lord Slug also uses it to perform his Darkness Rush (Ranged) Ultimate Skills as it is exclusive to Namekians (non-Namekian characters can unlock Darkness Rush (Melee) which replaces the Namek Finger grab with a forward charge grab).
In Xenoverse 2, after grabbing the opponent the user pulls the opponent towards them to deliverer a gut punch.
In Dragon Ball Fusions, this technique appears as a Special Move under the name Decoy which allows the user to stretch their arm to grab a single opponent and draw them in to initiate a generic melee strike. In addition to Namekian characters, certain Namekian hybrid fusions such as Prilin, Picohan, Kallohan, and Kibicollo Kai can utilize it due to Piccolo's Namekian traits being dominant. Despite Krillin's Earthling traits being dominant for EX Prilin, he retains the Namekian ability to stretch his arms and can acquire Decoy from Piccolo. Additionally, there is a stronger version called Super Decoy which has greater attack range than Decoy.
In Dragon Ball Legends, as part of the 2021 LEGENDS ALL STAR Vol. 11 Summon event, Fused with Nail Piccolo (DBL40-04S) is a new playable version of Piccolo based upon his appearance in Cooler's Revenge. Like in the film, Piccolo will stretch his arms during his Strike Arts, Special Quirk Skill Arts, and Ultimate Move Arts. Demon Pursuit Attack is his Special Quirk Skill Arts which is a Rush Attack variation of Demon Hand. The two-handed version he originally used on Salza in the film appears under the name Demon Whip Attack as his Ultimate Move Arts.
==Trivia==
*This technique is related to the Great Namekian form as both techniques involve the Namekian user manipulating their bodies cells to cause their body to grow and/or stretch. It is possible that the Great Namekian form is just a more advanced version of this process (as the user's body grows in size instead of just part of them).
