Line 26:
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Mars Attacks (Film)]]!''
* The Arquillians from ''[[Men in Black (Filmfilm)|Men in Black]]''. Also a couple other races, in all likelihood.
* ''[[Spaced Invaders]]''
* Arguably, ''[[E.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)Extra-Terrestrial|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'' is a cute cross between this and [[The Greys]].
* 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]]'' 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 (Filmfilm)|Contact]]'', when she's introduced to her new co-workers at Aricebo, Dr. Arroway jokes that she's looking for little green men.
* Most of the aliens from ''[[Planet 51 (Animation)|Planet 51]]''. General Grawl is the notable exception - being roughly the same height as Chuck (a human male), he towers over the rest of his species. Then again, we have no idea how tall Chuck is among humans.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 55:
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The [[Warhammer 40 K40000|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 Different|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 64:
* ''[[Fallout]]'' 3 has a crashed flying saucer in which one of the best weapons in the game can be found near the corpse of a very small pilot. Only the head is visible, but yup -- he's green.
** The ''Mothership Zeta'' DLC shows he's not alone either.
* The point of the [[Kerbal Space Program|kerbal space program]] is to get three of these into space {{spoiler|[[Video Game Cruelty Potential|or spiral into the ground ]]}}
* ''[[The Sims]] 2''. If you spend too much time looking through a telescope, you get abducted by these. If the sim is a male, they'll later have a [[Half-Human Hybrid]]. Only the [[Mister Seahorse|males have a kid,]] females just waste time in space.
** You can also put them in your neighborhoods. They're really just like any other Sims, except green. (They are, however, also the same size as "normal" Sims. Unless you use a mod or cheat to make them shorter.)
** They're really more green [[The Greys|Greys]] than little green men.
* Referred to in ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]!'' "I am not green!"
* The title character of ''[[Alien Hominid]]'', though, he is actually Yellow.
* The Cor-Dems of ''[[Adventure Quest (Video Game)|Adventure Quest]]''.
* The alien family in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Tooie]]''.
* ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'' has Elgyem ([[Don't Explain the Joke|pronounced as "L-G-M", little green man]]), a little green psychic alien. [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]], indeed.
** Despite that, the [[Mon]] itself is actually just as close in color to [[The Greys|gray]].
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''The Law of Purple'': Green technically counts as this until he hits a growth spurt that makes him not-so-little.
* Uryuoms from ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'' are humanoid [[Shape Shifter|shape shifters]] who in appearance are a mix of [[Little Green Men]] and [[The Greys]] but predominantly the former.
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 94:
** Kiff fits the bill for being small and green. However neither he, nor his species, has hostility towards humanity.
* ''[[Martin Mystery]]''
* [[Zula Patrol (Animation)|Zula Patrol]]: Bula.
* In one episode of ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'', "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky", Frink has a brief encounter with such an alien. There is also Ozmodiar, a parody of the Great Gazoo from ''[[The Flintstones]]''.
