many-handed
Possessing multiple limbs
Many-handed describes something done by or involving numerous people working together: The many-handed effort cleared the debris in hours.
It can also describe a creature or figure with multiple hands, as in Hindu iconography where deities appear many-handed to symbolize their powers.
The word is uncommon but transparent in meaning.
