* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'': [[spoiler:Stinky Pete, is a short prospector doll who secretly plots against Woody's wishes of returning back to his original owner Andy once the entire Roundup Gang inside Al [=McWhiggin=]'s apartment is complete, in favor of all of them being in display inside a toy museum in Japan, simply out of the former's greatly bitter reaction to not being bought and owned by any human while inside a dime store before.]]

* Stinky Pete from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', is a short prospector doll who secretly plots against Woody's wishes of returning back to his own in favor of being in display inside a toy museum in Japan.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012'' has Aloysius O'Hare, who is a very greedy businessman and mayor of Thneedville who tries to prevent any of the residents of that town to grow even a single plant because it would hinder his air business, where he even threatens the movie's protagonist Ted from doing so.

** The Fairy Godmother, the BigBad in ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'', 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 BigBad of ''WesteronAnimation/ShrekTheThird'' following the Fairy Godmother's death.

** ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' ups the ante with Rumpelstiltskin, who is even shorter and nastier than Farquaad.
* King Candy, the so-called ruler of the game Sugar Rush and the BigBad of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. He was also known as [[spoiler:Turbo, an infamous video game character known for game-jumping. This is later averted in the climax as King Candy gets transformed into a giant a Cy-Bug after being swallowed by one, towering even Wreck-It-Ralph himself]].

** Lord Farquaad, the abnormally short BigBad of [=DreamWorks=]' first ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' movie, proves his evil cred by [[FantasticRacism banishing all the fairy tale creatures from his kingdom]][[note]]except Mama Bear from ''Literature/{{Goldilocks}}'', who got made into a rug[[/note]], displaying a creepy interest in Princess Fiona, and (in his EstablishingCharacterMoment) having his goons waterboard -- er, ''milk''board -- the Gingerbread Man so he can break off his legs. The musical even makes him literally [[spoiler: a half-dwarf]].

* Mister Mxyzptlk from ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' is sometimes portrayed as this. As a HumanoidAbomination from the fifth dimension, he's not so much ''depraved'' as he is amoral, but he probably counts nonetheless. He's also similar to Rumpelstiltskin (one of the {{Ur Example}}s of this trope) in how he can be defeated, but the method is more complex: while the heroine of ''Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}'' just had to tell Rumpelstiltskin his name, Superman has to trick Mister Mxyzptlk himself into saying his own name -- ''backwards''.

* ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'' has DOR-15, or "Doris", who, despite being a small robotic bowler hat, has '''''much''''' bigger plans in her hands [[spoiler:(where it includes eventually backstabbing her minion Michael "Goob" Yagoobian)]].

** Lord Farquaad, the abnormally short BigBad of [=DreamWorks=]' first ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' movie, proves his evil cred by [[FantasticRacism banishing all the fairy tale creatures from his kingdom]][[note]]except Mama Bear from ''Literature/{{Goldilocks}}'', who got made into a rug[[/note]], displaying a creepy interest in Princess Fiona, and (in his EstablishingCharacterMoment) having his goons waterboard -- er, ''milk''board -- the Gingerbread Man and rip off his legs. The musical even makes him literally [[spoiler: half dwarf]].

* Mini-me from ''Film/AustinPowers'' 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.

* Doubles as TheReveal in ''Film/DontLookNow''. [[spoiler: The mysterious small figure in a red raincoat repeatedly seen from the distance is not the protagonist's daughter. It is a grown female serial killer.]]

* Subverted in ''Film/FoulPlay''; "The Dwarf" that Gloria is warned about isn't really a dwarf. This, of course, leads to confusion, and when she meets an actual dwarf, she goes nuts and throws him out of her apartment, seriously injuring him, only to find out he's really a bible salesman.

* Dr. Knickerbockers from ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', who was actually based on a recurring nightmare of the artists.

* "The Baby" from ''Manga/{{Monster}}'', a neo-nazi and crime lord.

* ''Manga/RaveMaster'': Koala of the Six Guards is a short, child-like man who's often mistaken for a child despite not being one. He's also an amoral psychopath who actively forces a man to brutally torture a girl with implements under the threat of death and later transforms said man into a cyborg under his control.

* Surprisingly {{averted|Trope}} in ''ComicBook/XMenNoir'', in which the dwarf Eugene Judd is one of the only good guys without ''any'' kind of pathology.

* ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'' has DOR-15, or "Doris", who, despite being a small robotic bowler hat, has '''''much''''' bigger plans in her hands ([[spoiler:where it includes eventually backstabbing her minion Michael "Goob" Yagoobian]]).

* The 2012 version of Dr. Seuss' ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012'' has Aloysius O'Hare, who is a very greedy businessman and mayor of Thneedville who tries to prevent any of the residents of that town to grow even a single plant because it would hinder his air business, where he even threatens the movie's protagonist Ted from doing so.

* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series has Choi Bounge, a criminal who resembles a shrunken down [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]. Mostly PlayedForLaughs, however.

* ''Literature/TheCroning'' features a much darker take on Literature/{{Rumplestiltskin}}. Here, Rumplestiltskin is a HumanoidAbomination 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 [[DealWithTheDevil rather nefarious deals]] where he will [[MakeAWish grant them anything they wish for]], even wishes thought impossible, in exchange for a BabyAsPayment (except here, Rumplestiltskin doesn't really try to make any secret of the fact that he intends to [[EatsBabies eat the baby]] in question). When the book's [[IntroOnlyPointOfView 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 upleasant 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.

* ''Film/MeMyselfAndIrene'' has Chante, a chauffeur who's responsible for [[EmasculatedCuckold emasculating the protagonist Charlie]] and kicking off the mental traumas that would cause him to develop a SplitPersonality. Aside from physically assaulting Charlie with nunchucks after [[EverythingIsRacist construing everything he says as racist/ableist]] while playing the victim card to Charlie's wife, he then proceeds to have an affair with said wife that results in [[ChocolateBaby children that look nothing like Charlie]], eventually running off with her and leaving Charlie with his kids.

* Averted in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', in which Bolivar Trask is played by Creator/PeterDinklage. Despite the combination of villainy and dwarfism, his characterisation is that of a WellIntentionedExtremist MadScientist, and though he has a distinct LackOfEmpathy there is none of the sexual predation or deliberate sadism that the trope usually entails. Very unusually for such a casting, his dwarfism has absolutely no discernible relevance to either the plot or his character, mainly because it was purely a case of AbilityOverAppearance after the script had been written, and any attempt to add things would have been deeply wrong.
** Though in the ''Rogue Cut'', Trask insists that Mystique be handed over to him [[TheyWouldCutYouUp for research purposes]]. Perhaps with this trope in mind, President Nixon responds, "I don't care who you screw, as long as it's not me."

* In ''Literature/StrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde'', the latter character is an extremely short and ugly man with no redeeming qualities. This is, [[ItWasHisSled as the reader probably already knows]], because he is the [[JekyllAndHyde 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 EvilIsBigger.

* King Candy, the so-called ruler of the game Sugar Rush and the BigBad of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. He was also known as Turbo, an infamous video game character known for game-jumping. This is later averted in the climax as King Candy gets transformed into a giant a Cy-Bug after being swallowed by one, towering even Wreck-It-Ralph himself.

* Lord Farquaad, the abnormally short BigBad of [=DreamWorks=]' ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'', proves his evil cred by [[FantasticRacism banishing all the fairy tale creatures from his kingdom]][[note]]except Mama Bear from ''Literature/{{Goldilocks}}'', who got made into a rug[[/note]], displaying a creepy interest in Princess Fiona, and (in his EstablishingCharacterMoment) having his goons waterboard -- er, ''milk''board -- the Gingerbread Man and rip off his legs. The musical even makes him literally [[spoiler: half dwarf]]. ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' ups the ante with Rumpelstiltskin, who is even shorter and nastier than Farquaad.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': The Murderous Moppets certainly qualify. They are a pair of {{Psycho Knife Nut}}s who seem to lack any empathy whatsoever, especially towards their victims. They only show respect to Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, who they lust over, and The Monarch himself, who is the only person (besides Brock Sampson, obviously) who seems to be capable of scaring even them.
-->'''Tim-Tom''': We could take out his tongue.\\
'''Kevin''': With a knife!\\
'''Tim-Tom''': Remove his heart.\\
'''Kevin''': Yeah, with a knife!\\
'''Tim-Tom''': A bigger knife!\\
'''Kevin''': Fucking knife!

* Morag, the caretaker of the Loch Loud Castle in Scotland and the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie''.

* The Midget, in the ''Literature/{{Illuminatus}}'' trilogy, tends to take out his vengeance on the giant world in far less confrontational and more cerebral ways. But it's still terrible vengeance. '

** [[TinyTyrannicalGirl Sarah]], the SpoiledBrat younger sister of her '''''very''''' contradictory older brother Ed, who, in contrast, is a higgly loyal GentleGiant for her and his own friends Edd and Eddy.
