Dwarfs (not that kind, the real kind)note Dwarves are fantasy creatures; dwarfs are short humans, and the polite term for the latter nowadays is "little people." This is, however, a relatively recent distinction that started with J. R. R. Tolkien. As in nearly everything else, most later fantasy authors have either followed his lead or not done so in a very pointed way to make a statement of some kind. in fiction are fairly uncommon. When they do show up, they tend to be either comic relief or playing the aforementioned fantasy creatures. But then, there's these guys. The Depraved Dwarf is a pint-sized bucket of malice. He (and it's pretty much always a he) is either a sadistic psychopath, a twisted rapist (presumably of the Mickey-slipping variety rather than the hold-them-down type), or at the very least a violent, cold-blooded criminal. They tend to show up when the hero has been rendered helpless. Often, expect giggling. Can go hand in hand with The Napoleon (although, that other trope may not always require morality for its own case, as opposed to this one), if the Depraved Dwarf's misanthropy is implied to be a response — albeit a misdirected one — to discrimination and abuse faced as a result of their short stature. The polar opposite trope of Gentle Giant. Compare this trope to Evil Is Bigger, as well. If he's The Don or a similar leadership role, see Mister Big. May or may not overlap with Little People Are Surreal. For villains with other disabilities, see Evil Cripple and Eunuchs Are Evil. May be part of a Subverted Suspicion Aesop if his being evil is treated as a plot twist. Contrast The Morlocks, who are the more depraved cousins of dwarves the fantasy race. Examples |

Watchmen has a minor character named "the Big Figure", who is naturally a dwarf and also a gangster until he was apprehended and sent to Sing Sing. He's introduced trying to get revenge on Rorschach for his part in arresting him, but Rorschach simply goads him into making mistakes that end with his two goons dead and Big Figure fleeing. Just before being broken out of prison by Nite Owl and Silk Spectre, Rorschach simply says that he needs the restroom — the same one that the Big Figure just fled into. A few noisy moments later, Rorschach comes out, and Big Figure does not. | |

Last Legionary: The One is a crippled dwarf, whose emaciated body consists of little more than a set of badly stunted tentacles that are too weak to do anything beyond crawl. He's also the leader of the Warlord's elite Deathwing squadron, responsible for the murder of entire worlds, and, when inside his huge golden exoskeleton, becomes a force to be reckoned with. | |

Shrek: Lord Farquaad, the abnormally short Big Bad of DreamWorks' first Shrek movie, proves his evil cred by banishing all the fairy tale creatures from his kingdomnote except Mama Bear from Goldilocks, who got made into a rug, displaying a creepy interest in Princess Fiona, and (in his Establishing Character Moment) having his goons waterboard — er, milkboard — the Gingerbread Man so he can break off his legs. The musical even makes him a half-dwarf. The Fairy Godmother, the Big Bad in Shrek 2, who is slightly taller than Farquaad but slightly shorter than Shrek. She displays a desire of taking over the kingdom of Far Far Away by coercing King Harold and Queen Lillian in marrying off their daughter Princess Fiona to her tall son Prince Charming, who becomes the Big Bad of Shrek the Third following the Fairy Godmother's death. Shrek Forever After ups the ante with Rumpelstiltskin, who is even shorter and nastier than Farquaad, the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. |

The Spirit. Spirit shows a Cheek Copy of Sand Saref's "perfect ass" to every bellhop in town to find out which hotel she's staying at. The bellhop who recognizes it has dwarfism. Though that may just be because he was at exactly the right height to have a good view. | |

Wonder Woman villain Dr. Psycho (pictured above). He can be best characterized as "a misogynistic, vindictive, spiteful, petty, sadistically cruel serial killer/rapist and cannibal with the ability to control people's minds". Interestingly in his first appearance, Dr. Psycho was established as becoming evil because of relentless bullying over his height by other men, leading him to lash out against all of humanity. | |

Rumpelstiltskin seems friendly and helpful at first, but on his third visit, he demands the miller's daughter promise to give him her firstborn child. Willingly and knowingly making somebody enter a Leonine Contract with you is hardly the act of a kind benefactor, and some tellings even go so far as to imply he plans to eat the baby. | |

Mini-Me from Austin Powers is a lighter example. He's not that depraved, but he does try to eat a live cat at one point. Considering the stock he is cut from, the dwarfism is probably not the main cause. | |

Patch Town: Kenny (played by comedian Kenneth "Ken" Hall) is a dwarfnote the actor is a little person, the character is a dwarf of the fantasy persuasion who enjoys "the perfect kidnapping gloves", frequenting a local brothel and attacking people. According to him, he has a standard: "I draw the line at eating kids". Trope is later averted when Kenny defects from Yuri and finds employment through a Toronto job agency, going on a date with a surly-looking employment counsellor not much taller than he is. Kenny is also implied to be bisexual, as he flirts with Yuri at least twice and also with one of Yuri's male goons-for-hire. Seems like Kenny wants to give up his evil ways in the end and just be your garden-variety Torontonian. | |

WWE's Hornswoggle provided two separate examples of this. When he debuted as (Fit) Finlay's sidekick, he was known just as The Little Bastard. He spoke only in snarls and attacked Finlay's opponents as viciously as his small size would allow. After a while, he turned face, became able to speak, and ceased to be an example. Although this never came to fruition, it was planned for Hornswoggle to become the new Raw GM, where he'd play a W C Fields type character, chomping on a cigar and contemptuously referring to the then-Divas as 'dames'. However, Swoggle couldn't pull the character off so it never made it to television. |

In Moonlight And Magnolias, director David Fleming is relieved to leave The Wizard of Oz for Gone with the Wind because it means he no longer has to deal with munchkins who spend their time getting drunk, fornicating in the urinals, or wrecking a shot by singing "Ding, dong, the bitch is dead." | |

The X-Files: Subverted in the episode "Humbug". While investigating a series of murders in a small town populated by various ex-circus sideshow performers, Mulder catches the manager of the trailer park (who happens to be a little person) crawling around beneath the trailer where Scully is staying. The manager indignantly corrects Mulder's implied assumption that he was peeping. He was just doing some necessary repair work on the trailer, with Scully's knowledge, in fact. He further claims that he has no need to spy on Scully because he gets more than his fair share of tail from "curious" women. | |

In the Borderlands series, squeaky-voiced Midgets are commonly-faced enemies in Pandora, and are usually members of homicidal bandit gangs. One of the only named, voiced Midgets is a boss called Sandman; a brutal, murderous pirate obsessed with finding a legendary treasure trove. Ironically enough, the third game reveals that the first Vault Hunter himself was actually a Pandoran Midget. | |

Mister Mxyzptlk from Superman is sometimes portrayed as this. As a Humanoid Abomination from the fifth dimension, he's not so much depraved as he is Above Good and Evil, but he probably counts nonetheless. He's also similar to Rumpelstiltskin (one of the Ur Examples of this trope) in how he can be defeated, but the method is more complex: while the heroine of Rumpelstiltskin just had to tell Rumpelstiltskin his name, Superman has to trick Mister Mxyzptlk himself into saying his own name — backwards. | |

This is what everyone thinks Tyrion Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire is, despite his being one of the more morally upstanding characters in the series not named Stark. But he may have had a Start of Darkness because of his ill treatment. He isn't helping his case by being a serial purveyor of prostitutes and a known drunkard. Also his treatment of his nephew Joffrey, while liked by the audience, makes him look worse when he is blamed for the murder. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW): This version of Agent John Bishop was born with dwarfism. He was fed xenophobic rhetoric by his father, and who also commissioned a mech suit modeled after himself as he believed a man should look like his father. John is possibly the most sadistic character in the entire book, often taking pure delight in the torture, murder, and enslavement of non-humans. | |

Game of Thrones: Tyrion Lannister is introduced to the audience in a brothel, where the whore Ros discusses his reputation as a "drunken little lecher". Subverted when we later discover Tyrion is the most decent member of his Big, Screwed-Up Family. Nevertheless, Black-and-Grey Morality means even he gets a few cold-blooded actions for which his dwarfism provides a Freudian Excuse. Tyrion also invokes the trope in "The Lion and the Rose" when he jokingly cautions Joffrey to be careful around the dwarf jesters since they tend to get horny. Later in the series, a rather crude fictional play depicting recent historical events portrays Tyrion as this, painting him as the Big Bad of the whole affair. |

Dr. Psycho is a main character in Harley Quinn (2019), and while he's far less degenerate than his comic counterpart, he still has some twisted moments such as having brainwashed Giganta into marrying him (which is Played for Laughs as she's no more bitter than the average ex-wife towards him), taking pleasure in watching people die in an amusement park as a child, and calling Wonder Woman a cunt (which gets him expelled from the Legion of Doom). However, the latter half of the second season has him Jumping Off the Slippery Slope and trying to Take Over the World for Darkseid, as he's "always had a hard-on for world domination". | |

In one arc of The Punisher, a huge gang of people with dwarfism (led by the brother of a mob boss) starts taking out mobsters by kidnapping them and cutting off their legs below the knee. They actually thought that Wolverine and Frank would be on their side (Logan being The Napoleon but still taller than them, and Frank being known as a mobster killer). | |

Near the end of Promare, it turns out Vulcan is actually one of these controlling a beefy Mobile-Suit Human. Unlike most of the entries on this page, the suit allows him to be a very physical threat. | |

In the very early days of NWA-TNA, they had a small 'hardcore midgets' division, and the top heel of that division was Puppet the Psycho Dwarf. Puppet's gimmick was that he was a dwarf who resented midgets so much that he wanted to murder them. He literally cut a promo in the ring about wanting to murder midgets while waving a pistol in the air. Puppet was also caught masturbating while hiding in a trashcan by backstage interviewer Goldilocks. | |

Simon Culp from Starman (DC Comics). Besides starting out as a thieving, murderous hellspawn in the 1800s, he developed powers identical to fellow immortal the Shade, and eventually proceeded to turn their centuries-long personal feud into an enormous Xanatos Gambit to consume and destroy Shade utterly; first his reputation, then his city, and then fight him into oblivion. | |

In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the latter character is an extremely short and ugly man with no redeeming qualities. This is, as the reader probably already knows, because he is the distillation of all the evil inside of Dr. Jekyll, therefore he is shorter than Jekyll. This is ignored in most adaptations, though, which typically lean on Evil Is Bigger. | |

Farmer Bunce from Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of the three nasty farmers the titular Mr. Fox steals food and drink from. A foul-mouthed, foul-tempered dwarf of a man, Bunce helps his cohorts Boggis and Bean try to kill Mr. Fox, and resorts to methods as drastic as trying to dig him up with his tractor and getting entire teams of snipers to surround the hill he lives in. | |

The Croning features a much darker take on Rumpelstiltskin. Here, Rumpelstiltskin is a Humanoid Abomination who happens to prefer to appear as a scary-looking, malformed little man when he walks amongst humans. Said guise is referred to by most who are unfortunate enough to cross his path as simply "the Dwarf". True to the fairy tale, the Dwarf's main activity is journeying around and offering people in need rather nefarious deals where he will grant them anything they wish for, even wishes thought impossible, in exchange for a Baby as Payment (except here, Rumpelstiltskin doesn't really try to make any secret of the fact that he intends to eat the baby in question). When the book's first temporary protagonist, the Spy first notices the Dwarf, he describes him as wearing the smile of "a butcher or coroner who enjoyed his job for all the wrong reasons." As The Spy follows the Dwarf's trail at his sister, the Queen's behest, he learns amongst other unpleasant things about his quarry that he likes to insert himself into any local festivals in the towns he happens to pass on his journeys, where he gets drunk and pervs on any young woman who aren't quick enough to steer clear of him, and likes to horrify children (and their mothers) with lurid tales involving monsters, fairies, and sexual deviancy. | |

Gravity Falls: Li'l Gideon Gleeful. Despite his surname, he's anything but cheerful by default, genuinely speaking, compared to his crush Mabel Pines. He's not the main antagonist for the show's 1st season for nothing. Jeff the gnome, who was formerly the leader of a village full of gnomes like him. His madness is additionally motivated by his crush on Mabel, as well (similar to Gideon's case). |
