Peter drew this when he was nine. It's a terrific monster with crooked teeth, hypnotizing eyes, an organic shape and some stripes. Were the limbs hands or feet? His mother who placed the order couldn't ask Peter, now 26 years old, because it was meant to be a surprise. If they were hands, the monster could look like it was reaching out for a hug (or a strangle):
or with the arms folded, it could look bored and unimpressed:
In the end, we decided to keep them the same size as drawn, and they could be feet:
or, they could be hands:

They are extremely versatile appendages, so versatile in fact, I wish I had some.
