*** And Joltik! It's the smallest of all Mons, and is ridiculously cute to match.
*** The other chibi legends aren't the size of a ''Diglett'' (8 inches tall).
*** BLASPHEMY!!! How has no one mentioned Togepi? Cute egg that squeaks and has tiny legs is '''cute'''!!!
** Talking about [[Mons]], MarineAngemon is definitely [[Digimon]]'s take on Shaymin (or is it the reverse, since MarineAngemon came first?). Also, this [http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa6/Calibremon/Kapurimon.jpg Kapurimon] is the Fun-Sized version of [[Digimon Frontier|Wolfmon]].
* [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Tsuruya-san]] was cute enough already, with her [[Cute Little Fangs|cute little fang]] and speech impediment and her [[Genki Girl]] personality. However, [http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=eretto someone] then had to make [[Memetic Mutation|Churuya...]]

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* Many [[Fanfic|fanfics]] have included the grimdark models used in tabletop versions of ''[[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40,000]]'' to come to life or appear in our world as the size of their tabletop counterparts, such as [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5474237/1/40k_ToyHammer this one]. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* In ''[[Tabletop Game]]/Pathfinder'', the Improved Familiar feat lets a spellcaster chose from a wide range of tiny magical creatures as potential familiars. Many of them (such as the [[Cute Kitten|silvanshee agathion]], [[Shoulder-Sized Dragon|pseudodragons, fairy dragons]], and the [[Fairy Companion|Lyrakian azata]]) are [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Ridiculously Cute Critters]], although the [[Our Demons Are Different|evil outsiders]] range from [[Ugly Cute]] to [[Body Horror]].
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The entire premise of ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' is based upon this: Kirby gets split up by the [[Big Bad]] into ten parts, each with only a fraction of his full power.
* The ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series. To really hammer the point home, the entire opening movie of ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha]]'' is this trope [[Up to Eleven]].
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' does this with Lil' Ragnaros, the Moonkin Hatchling, Lil' XT, and Lil KT; all vanity pets obtainable from the microtransaction shop.
Line 96:
** The quest giver (and later companion) [http://www.wowhead.com/npc=49956 Pebble], and [http://www.wowhead.com/npcs?filter=na=lizard;minle=1;maxle=1;cr=39;crs=4;crv=0 various lizard critters] (miniature versions of the hostile Warp Stalker beast).
* Metal Gear Mk II in ''[[Snatcher]]'' is terribly cute, despite having a design inspired by [[Metal Gear|nuke-launching superweapons]].
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' does this to [[Final Fantasy X
* ''[[Ōkamiden|Okamiden]]'''s Chibiterasu. Sure, [[Ōkami|Amaterasu]] was already a [[Badass Adorable]], but just [http://kotaku.com/5351390/okamiden-kicks-cuteness-up-a-notch look at them]!
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' gives us the mini-sentries, which are basically the standard sentries at a smaller size and significantly less firepower, with a police siren duct taped on top of it. Of course, this is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the Engineer himself, as he sometimes calls it a "cute little gun".
Line 121:
* Here, have some [http://design-benign.blogspot.com/2009/11/adorable-inglourious-basterds.html adorable drawings] of ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]''.
* In [[We Are Our Avatars (Roleplay)|We Are Our Avatars]], Chibi-Wren pops out of Wren's backpack whenever someone mentions junk food. [[Disgaea|Asagi has her Monster form]], aka the self-explanatory Chibi form. Comes complete with [[Genki Girl]] attitude and cutesy [[Speech Impediment]].
* This is the entire point of the Minis in the [[Protectors of the Plot Continuum|PPC]]. That and to [[Grammar Nazi|poke fun at the badficcer's misspellings]].
{{quote|''Each time a name's spelled wrong in ''[[Lord of the Rings|Rings]]'', a mini-Balrog gets its wings.''}}
* Calling tiny, [[All Hallow's Eve|trick-or-treat size]] candy bars "fun size", or calling any sort of eating "fun" for that matter, is one of ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s [http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-5-stupidest-lies-advertisers-expect-you-to-believe/ The 5 Stupidest Lies Advertisers Expect You to Believe]. It compares the practice to [[Little People]] demanding to be called "fun size".
