Shorter Means Smarter	comment	Being the smallest in a group will always make you smarter (and usually more agile) than the rest. This, of course, is supposed to make up for being physically weak. Reflectively, in a Big Guy, Little Guy Odd Couple the short one is always the planner, the schemer, the wise one. The taller may be The Hero, the Dumb Muscle or the loon, the lazy one, or just the wild one, but the short guy is always somehow smarter. The Teen Genius Wise Beyond Their Years is especially often paired with a Gentle Giant, and the child in a Badass and Child Duo will often at least attempt to play the smart guy for the pair. Results will vary. Naturally, seen often with The Smart Guy and The Big Guy of the Five-Man Band. Interestingly enough, the Trope Maker of the modern Five-Man Band, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, had a Tagalong Kid as the Smart Guy, who was only 'smart' in The Trickster sense rather than the technical sense. The two roles would become conflated later. And, of course, everpresent in The Short Guy with Glasses. Contrast Genius Bruiser and Badass Bookworm. See also Brains and Brawn and Geek Physiques.

Trance to some people), youngsters (Coco Bandicoot and Nina Cortex) or floating masks (Aku Aku and Uka Uka), yet Dr. N. Tropy is among one of the taller ones. Ripper Roo is completely insane due to a botched experiment, but managed to educate himself by the second game. Crash himself is dimmer than both his tall girlfriend Tawna (as evidenced by Nitro-Fueled) and his somewhat taller sister (the aforementioned Coco). As for the Nitro Squad, Megumi is the shortest member and mentioned to have made perfume in Team Racing's epilogue, yet Isabella is the most knowledgeable about cars and is Amazonian compared to the others.

Among the rookies, the title character is the shortest boy and he's also tied for being the second dumbest. After the Time Skip he's smarter, but he's also one of the taller ones. As an adult he's extremely tall, but he's outgrown most of his Idiot Hero trait by then. Played straight with Dosu - he was the shortest of his squad, and was always hunched over (making him look even shorter), but was smarter and more logical than his squad.

Shorter Means Smarter / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Of the many, many breeds of trolls, the smartest "natural" kind (i.e. no magical experimentation was involved) are the forest trolls, which are about as intelligent, and the same size, as the average human. Which, due to how the game classifies size categories and monster typing, makes these forest trolls Medium-sized Giants. Verbeegs are giant-kin that are larger than humans but smaller than the likes of hill giants. Yet verbeegs are also more intelligent and ambitious than hill giants, allowing the verbeegs to employ those larger true giants as minions. Unfortunately for verbeegs, hill giants' stupidity means they're prone to botching the verbeegs' strategies, leading to the sight of an irate verbeeg hopping from foot to foot, screaming insults at the befuddled hill giants towering over them.

The book gives it a bit more attention than the movie, explaining that when he came to understand that his body (which is implied to be frail and possibly misshapen) was never going to get him places, he began purposely working to become exceptionally intelligent. He also specifically sought out Inigo and Fezzik for their fencing skills and brute strength, respectively, because he reasoned that with his intellect calling the shots, the three of them would be unstoppable. His career bears out his plan for many years, until he meets the Man in Black.

Joe is both the shortest and the leader of the gang, while Averell is the tallest and the most obvious dimwit. However while Joe clearly thinks he's the brains of the gang (rather in the way that Oliver Hardy's character believed himself to be much smarter than Stan Laurel's), he's actually just as stupid as his brothers, only in a different way. Goscinny himself once pointed out that Joe is merely the most malevolent or evil of the Daltons and that evil does not equal smart.

On top of this, she's the youngest, and got very few of the standard Spider powers (in one scene, while the other five can Wall Crawl, she has to be awkwardly wedged in between two of the others), meaning that while she's strong and quick by the normal standards for children, she can't keep up with Miles or Gwen. On the other hand, while she didn't build the Mini-Mecha she's piloting although after the main plot is resolved she does start working on a new one, she can definitely keep it running, and she's the one who steps forward whenever something technical needs doing.

He's Graham's opponent in the Duel of Wits. He's also a slimy, cheating, scheming Manipulative Bastard. Bonus points for being voiced by Wallace Shawn, Vizzini from The Princess Bride, with more than a few allusions to that character.

Notably, while most of the other princesses are 17-18 and shown to be visibly shorter than fully adult characters like Shadow Weaver or Angella, Word of Saint Paul also puts Entrapta at somewhere between 25 and 35 years old, meaning that she's not even short because she's young - she's easily got six, seven years on Adora, and could be anywhere up to twice her age. Possibly it's a side effect of her admittedly terrible diet?
