two-armed

Having both arms

Having two arms.

The term appears in contexts where the number matters—distinguishing humans from other creatures, or describing objects: a two-armed bandit (a slot machine operated by two people), a two-armed chandelier.

In scientific contexts, it describes structures with two extending parts: a two-armed spiral galaxy.
