A member of the Addams Family seen in the form of a disembodied hand named "Thing". Thing has been Gomez's friend since childhood. He often performs common, everyday tasks such as retrieving the mail, writing a letter or just giving a friendly pat on the shoulder, appearing out of ubiquitous boxes or other convenient containers throughout the house. He communicates with Addamses with a Morse-like alphabet, sign language, writing, and knocking on wood.
Thing appears in the Pilot when Cleveland talks about various 'things'.
