Thing T. Thing, often referred to as just Thing, is a fictional character in The Addams Family series. The Addamses call it "Thing" because it is something that cannot be identified, being originally an unseen creature in the original cartoons. 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 little hand) in German, "Rączka" (Small hand) in Polish, and "Izé" (Whatchamacallit, Thingamajig) in Hungarian.
