** Despite being half the size of most characters and not fighting back most of the time, Brian is formidable in a brawl. "Play It Again, Brian" has him beat Peter in a brutal bar fight, which is quite impressive when his long, bloody scraps with the Giant Chicken are taken into account. It helps that as a dog, he can bite pretty hard; on two separate occasions, he traumatises Peter after biting his arm.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': {{Subverted|Trope}} by the store manager in "The Refund". When Richard tried to confront him, he saw his ass getting handed to him despite the manager's small, cute appearance. However, the manager wasn't particularly strong, Richard was just a wuss.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'': The Kiwi species are sci-fi {{Hobbits}} in most senses of the word. They're a meter high, their [[PlanetOfHats planet and culture specialize in agriculture]], and they're generally a good-natured bunch. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Not that they can't dole out the whoop-ass -- it just takes them a while to get them angry enough]]. {{Amba|dassador}}ssador Zozo wears the planetary Hat to an extreme. He frequently takes on {{Mooks}} twice his size and wins -- including a flying tackle onto the [[EldritchAbomination Scarecrow Entity]].

* From the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' episode "Dead Reckoning": Some of Grodd's legion of super villains under Lex Luthor's arrive at a Buddhist temple. They encounter a child monk, maybe ten or twelve, who tells them that they cannot enter. Lex sends the Atomic Skull, one of the largest henchmen he brought, to deal with him Skull tells the young monk he won't go easy on him just because he's a kid; the boy responds that he won't either, and proceeds to kick Skull's ass.

* Most [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] incarnations portray the turtles as slightly shorter than adults, or at least make them smaller/the same size as most of their enemies. This is the most obvious in the 2003 series, where the turtles were at least a foot shorter than April (and only slightly taller than Splinter), and visibly shorter than the Shredder. Most mutants they go up against (such as Beebop and Rocksteady) are often bigger than them. Still, the four of them are trained martial artists and usually manage to defeat those bigger than them, sometimes using their size against them.
