* Hilda Mae Burroughs in [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[The Number of the Beast]]'' is short, but is by far the most aggressive of the four protagonists.

It was the short men that caused all the trouble in the world. And what about a misshapen short man with [[Evil Redhead|red hair]] and a bizarre face?

* ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'': One of Emperor Palamecia's [[The Dragon|dragons]], Count Borghen, fits this trope, and even kind of looks like the dictator himself. He has no real bearing on the story, other than {{spoiler|offing one of your more useful party members.}} |

* Arguably, [[Kirby]]. Combine the fact that he's about 8 inches, nearly destroys the universe when someone steals his cake, and [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]], you've got one nasty puffball. |
