Revision as of 23:53, 16 December 2007
Many Homestar Runner characters lack certain body parts that every person in the real world would have. Despite this, they can still do the things that everyday people are capable of. However, they do take note of their unusual structures.

Arms
Coach Z's Face
Various references are made to parts of Coach Z's face that are not visible to the viewer:
- The Best Decemberween Ever — Coach Z is seen drinking mouthwash.
