Line 32:
* Yoda from ''[[Star Wars]]''.
** Rodians also qualify, as they have green skin, and their face resembles an insect. They even have attenae.
* In all three ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' films, there have been Pizza Planet toys who are short compared to most other toys. This would barely be enough to ''really'' qualify as an example of Little Green Men, if not for the fact that in ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'', their species is ''actually referred to'' as Little Green Men.
* ''Feeders'' and it's sequel feature [[Special Effects Failure|paper-maché]] Little Green Men who occasional venture to Earth for [[To Serve Man|a feeding frenzy]].
* In ''[[Contact (film)|Contact]]'', when she's introduced to her new co-workers at Aricebo, Dr. Arroway jokes that she's looking for little green men.
Line 56:
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The [[Warhammer 4000040,000|grots]] deserves a mention here, they are small, green and hostile, and they are aliens. It should be noted, however, that they also happen to be [[Our Goblins Are Wickeder|Goblins]] [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE]] so it is kinda justified, even if they are technically part of the same species as [[Our Orcs Are Different|da Orkz]]. Really played for laughs in every sense, since they are the [[Butt Monkey|ButtMonkeys]] of the orks. Also worth noting that the universe has both this trope '''and''' [[The Greys]] (The Tau), which really shows a great deal of contrast between the two.
 
== Toys ==
Line 87:
* The Irkens from ''[[Invader Zim]],'' the race which the title character belongs to.
* [[Great Gazoo]] from ''[[The Flintstones]]''
* The three-eyed toy aliens in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]''. In the [[Spin-Off]] ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' they are even referred to as "LGMs"--[[Grammar Nazi]]s notwithstanding. In the first episode it's revealed that they share a psychic link that they call "Unimind", and their homeworld's name is a string of unpronounceable gibberish.
** I believe that was [[Retcon|Ret Conned]] into "Martians."
** Aliens that look much more like the traditional little green men did show up later. They find the humanoid body of a small head and large torso to be "grotesque".
