Thing T. Thing, often referred to as just Thing,^[1] is a fictional character in The Addams Family series. The Addamses called it "Thing" because it was something that could not be identified, being originally an unseen creature in the original cartoons, but starting with the live-action television series it was settled to be a disembodied hand. It is known as "Mãozinha" (Little Hand) in Brazil, "Cosa" (Thing) in Spain, "Dedos" (Fingers) in Hispanic America, "Mano" (Hand) in Italy, "La Chose" (the Thing) in French-speaking countries, "eiskaltes Händchen" (icecold hand) in German, "Rączka" (Small hand) in Polish, and "Izé" (Whatchamacallit, Thingamajig) in Hungarian.
