Line 226:
* May from ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' is a cute, child-like [[Pirate Girl]] who stands 4-foot-something, but uses ''her ship's anchor'' (which is as big as she is) as a weapon. Her pet dolphin may qualify too, as he's about the size of a surfboard and used by May as such, meaning it has to carry May ''and'' the anchor.
* The cuccos in various ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. Dear God, the cuccos.
** Any child variant of Link counts, but special mention goes to [[Wind Waker|Toon Link]]. Even Adult Link tends to be a David to Goliath-sized foes.
** Link takes it further in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom]]''. One of the new abilities in this game is Fuse, which he can use to attach almost any item to his weapon; it can, for instance, be used on a boulder. Link can still effortlessly swing a Fused Weapon and use it to batter down certain stone walls.
* The Poison Headcrabs from ''[[Half-Life 2]]'' deplete your heath to one hit-point with a single bite. This is less due to the strength of their jaws and more the strength of their namesake poison, however.
* A metagame example from ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. Smaller character models are harder to select and thus attack. Of the player races, this means the very tiny Gnomes are particular nuisances. And since Gnomes can be both Warriors and Death Knights, they can also be stupidly powerful and durable. Goblins, who will be added in an upcoming expansion, will be much the same. Dwarves aren't nearly as small, but are still pretty shrimpy, and can be Warriors, Paladins, and Death Knights - all the main tanking classes besides Druid.
** That said, since the aforementioned expansion the only race that has ''all'' of the tanking classes available to them are the typically 8 foot tall Tauren.
** The Goblins are Gnome-sized greenskinned creatures who are pretty strong for their size. And insane to boot. ''And'' tough enough to repeatedly survive [[Captain Crash|piloting aircraft that crashes]] and [[Stuff Blowing Up|experiments that blow up in their faces]], both common problems with Goblin technology.
** Vulpera in the ''Battle for Azeroth'' expansion. Survivalists to the extreme, the typical Vulpera is gnome-sized, but can take down a [[Dumb Muscle|Naga brute]] without breaking a sweat. Mecha-gnomes are a sub-class of gnomes from the same expansion that can be even stronger, given their cybernetic limbs.
* Minion Soldier in ''[[Gunstar Heroes]]''.
