Claws

Characters with claws are serious. In anime and manga, they rarely serve no purpose. Beastmen, cursed humans, and high-tech gauntlet users look feral with claws. They appear on Inuyasha and other combative characters from darker shows. They demonstrate a character's wild side or connection to something dangerous and animalistic.

This tag is fun for artists to see. Some people like vampire or demon-like long, elegant nails. Monsters' bone-crushing claws appeal to some. Many monster girls have cute but deadly paws, and ikemen have scary sharp fingernails. Light reflections in battle scenes make art look sharp and aggressive. Beauty and danger give your desktop background energy.

Claws can be weapons or armor rather than body parts. Future ninjas have mechanical spikes, and assassins use claw-hand gear. They advocate close-quarters fighting. Cat-demons and wolves are common youkai associates. If you want something different from sword-and-sorcery, try these clawed characters. Its edgy design makes a statement when you open your laptop.
