Line 9:
[[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Dwarves]], [[Hobbits]], [[Leprechaun|Leprechauns]], [[Our Gnomes Are Weirder|Gnomes]], and some [[The Fair Folk|Fairies]] are specific subtropes. If these people are ''really'' little and are the main characters, it is a [[Mouse World]]; for other mouse-sized people, see [[Lilliputians]]. Not to be confused with an [[Little People (TV)|animated series of the same name]].

* The ancestral High Ones in ''[[Elf Quest]]'' were as tall as humans, {{spoiler|being shapeshifting extraterrestrials}}, but over the course of time many of their descendants evolved into shorter forms.
Line 33:
* In [[Lloyd Alexander]]'s ''[[Prydain Chronicles]]'' series, [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Doli]], [[The Eeyore|Gwystal]] and the rest of [[The Fair Folk]] are smaller than humans in size.

Line 53:
* Tarutaru in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' take the cuteness factor, throw in some [[Verbal Tic|Verbal Tics]], and aim for being as [[Tastes Like Diabetes|adorable and sweet]] as possible. Thankfully, the [[Narm]]-factor whenever they try and act serious is enough to make up for this.
* The Lilties in ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]'' are a very small and cute race. They're also super-adorable (and can [[No Biochemical Barriers|crossbreed with people]]). Oh, and they used to be [[The Empire]] and can be extremely hardy and gruff, are incredibly strong for their size, can forge some mean weaponry, and can hold a grudge with the best of dwarves. Do ''not'' cross a Lilty of you know what's good for you.
* The comic relief bit is oh-so-averted in ''[[Arcanum]]''. Gnomes are [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt Corporate Executives]] who {{spoiler|organize the mass kidnapping and rape (by ogres) of human women to breed [[Half
