Inphidian gauntlets are leather or metal gauntlets that provide a creature (normally an inphidian) with limbs but without humanoid hands a set of fully functional hands.  When wearing these gauntlets, the creature can manipulate items normally considered unusable (because the creature lacks hands).  The wearer can use its full Strength and Dexterity while wearing these gauntlets.  An inphidian cannot use its hand-snake bite attacks while wearing inphidian gauntlets.  These gauntlets serve no purpose to creatures with humanoid hands.

These gauntlets are manufactured by inphidian craftsmen and are virtually unknown outside the inphidian community.
