no-legged

Completely lacking limbs

No-legged describes something lacking legs entirely: a no-legged lizard, a no-legged stool that's really just a plank.

The term is straightforward but uncommon, since legless covers the same ground.

No-legged tends to appear in contexts distinguishing among creatures or objects by leg count: two-legged, four-legged, no-legged.
