legged

Possessing lower appendages

Legged describes having legs of a particular kind or number: a long-legged bird, a four-legged animal, a three-legged stool.

It rarely appears without a modifier—you wouldn't call something simply "legged" but rather specify the type.

The word also forms compounds: bow-legged, cross-legged.
