History Main / DepravedDwarf

* Mini-me from AustinPowers is a lighter example. He's not ''that'' depraved, but he does try to eat a live cat at one point.

* Olaf, the title character of the Danish ExploitationFilm ''TheSinfulDwarf'', lures young women into an attic and locks them up. They are later used for prostitution. Yes, the word "depraved" might be a little light in this case.

Not to be confused with [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame that other kind of dwarf]]. (Remember: ''dwar'''f'''s'' are little people; ''dwar'''ve'''s'' are fantasy creatures).

The Depraved Dwarf is a pint-sized bucket of malice. He [[AlwaysMale (and it's pretty much always a he)]] is either a sadistic psychopath, a twisted rapist, or at the very least a violent, cold-blooded criminal. Can go hand in hand with TheNapoleon, if the Depraved Dwarf's mysanthropy is implied to be a response - [[DisproportionateRetribution albeit blown out of proportion]] - to discrimination and abuse faced as a result of their short stature.
