"Limbs" is a paper puzzle genre I made. Below you'll find the rules and puzzles of this genre.

-
Draw lines along the edges of cells to divide the grid into separate 3-handed 1-headed creatures.
-
Each creature is defined as a shape of 4 connected limbs. Each limb is 1 cell wide, can be of any cell length (but more than 0) and can take a turn at any point.
-
Each limb must have a separate end. One limb must end with a head (always clued) and other 3 limbs end up with hands (whenever clued, their directions matter).
-
Cells within a single creature can never form a loop - in other words, the creature must never contain a 2x2 region or touch itself.
Limbs were also ported to Pedro's Kudamono Editor, which includes a bonus puzzle not available on this site. With Kudamono Editor, you can also easily make your own Limbs puzzles with automatic solution check.

FILLIMBS (LIMBS + FILLOMINO)
These puzzles use rules by both Limbs and Fillomino.
FILLOMINO
-
Draw lines along the edges of cells to divide the grid into regions, so that no two regions with the same area share an edge.
-
Inside some cells are numbers; each number must represent the area of the region it belongs to. A region may contain zero, one, or more of the given numbers.
LIMBS + FILLOMINO
-
A creature of Limbs is the same as a region of Fillomino.
