- Critters which, rather than having a head and a torso, are basically heads with limbs. Usually a cartoony simplification, though spider-limb heads sometimes appear in horror movies and the like. If you're not sure whether a creature has a head-torso or just a particularly thick neck, check how much their mouth can open. If it goes all the way to the groin, you've got a winner. If they are video game characters with really stubby legs and arms (or no arms at all), they are Waddling Heads. A specific subtrope is Oculothorax, where the "head" is mostly just one big eyeball.

| - Critters which, rather than having a head and a torso, are basically heads with limbs. Usually a cartoony simplification, though spider-limb heads sometimes appear in horror movies and the like. If you're not sure whether a creature has a head-torso or just a particularly thick neck, check how much their mouth can open. If it goes all the way to the groin, you've got a winner. Another good way to check is the position of their arms. Generally a Cephalothorax's arms will be at the same height as his eyes (approximately where his ears would be except Cephalothoraxes almost never have ears, or at least visible ones) If they are video game characters with really stubby legs and arms (or no arms at all), they are Waddling Heads. An ancient Greek legend described a race of Cephalothoraxes called "Blemmyae" living in north Africa, which makes this trope Older Than Feudalism. You probably shouldn't think too hard about where the digestive tract or heart/lungs are located. A specific subtrope is Oculothorax, where the "head" is mostly just one big eyeball.

Not to be confused with the cephalothorax of spider and crustacean anatomy, which is an actual body part combining head and thorax. Examples of Cephalothorax include:
