* In the more recent ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' games, Kirby can take a pretty solid hitting before dying (Not to mention ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'', where he's just straight-up invincible.)

A character whose lithe, lightweight appearance suggests a FragileSpeedster (or, at the least, a character of average size compared to others) but it turns out this character is a MightyGlacier, fully capable of carrying a {{BFS}} or a [[DropTheHammer huge war hammer]].

* [[TokenMiniMoe Vita]] from ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' is rather petite (even if her armor makes her appear bigger) but wields a [[DropTheHammer giant hammer]].

* Kurodōji from ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji|2016}}'' is a little boy who looks cute and harmless, but he's an attacker-type who can carry and swing around a SinisterScythe or a [[DropTheHammer hammer]] much bigger than his body and deal massive damage. The fact he's [[AxCrazy sadistic and unstable]] [[CreepyChild despite his cute appearance]] helps.

* Alongside [[MightyGlacier Knuckles]] (whose inclusion in this category is controversial, considering he's still bulky for {{Funny Animal}}s standards), the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' FanGame ''VideoGame/SonicRoboBlast2'' features one unlockable character who fits this category better: [[spoiler:Amy Rose, who has her classic design which makes her look like [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics a small, pink colored Sonic in a miniskirt]]. She can't fly, bounce, or float and climb walls like other characters, she can't even spin, and she runs slower than others, but she holds an extremely [[DropTheHammer powerful hammer]] and she knows how to use it: she can destroy enemies [[CloseRangeCombatant at short range]] on the ground and in the air, spikes (something only [[FlyingBrick a full speed Metal Sonic]] can match) and she can destroy walls and floors with it (Knuckles can only destroy the former and Fang the latter by using his spring tail). An interesting case is that she jumps higher than other characters naturally (though this is not much useful compared to other characters' previously mentioned powers).]]

*** In ''Mario Kart 8'', [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], who has a lean {{Bishonen}} build, is classified as a Cruiser heavyweight. Probably has to do with him being a realistically proportioned human of realistically average height in a game where squat, cartoonish builds are the norm. This is downplayed in ''Deluxe'' where he is on the light end of the Cruiser category alongside Rosalina.

* Kurodōji from ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'' is a little boy who looks cute and harmless, but he's an attacker-type who can carry and swing around a SinisterScythe or a [[DropTheHammer hammer]] much bigger than his body and deal massive damage. The fact he's [[AxCrazy sadistic and unstable]] [[CreepyChild despite his cute appearance]] helps.

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII: Shadows of Amn'', the follower Mazzy Fentan is a [[{{hobbits}} halfling]], meaning she's lucky to top four feet tall soaking wet. She's also a fighter, which means she can and does wear the heaviest armor in the game, and in fact, with her 18 Dexterity, she is one of the best tanks amongst your followers.

** Bonsly, as a Pokémon, is pretty small, but try to lift, carry, or throw it, and you'll notice it's surprisingly heavy. If the throw connects with anyone else, it hits like a truck, potentially knocking the victim off the screen.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Despite her armor, Noelle's BattleBallgown doesn't do much to emphasize how incredibly sturdy she actually is in-game.

* Koneko Toujou from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' has the body of a short and particularly slender underclassman. However, as a [[ChessMotifs Rook]], she's NighInvulnerable and has the most raw strength of Rias' team, routinely tossing around debris several times her size like pebbles and managing to throw a Stray Devil dozens of times her size across the room.
