They can control any human they are grafted to.. The person can attempt a Magic saving throw (made with advantage if only one hand is grafted) to regain control. If person succeed they gain full control for 1d4 rounds.
There's a very good Solomon Kane story that uses an animated hand revenge plot, even if Kane himself is pretty much just an observer of events in it. One of Howard's better really short stories. And IIRC there was a Chill adventure around a musician's severed hands getting up to shenanigans.
