Little guy
A little guy is a type of object that can be found in places. Despite popular belief, the size of a little guy has little bearing on the subject's little guy status. Things of all sizes can be little guys if they fit the vibe. Little guy status depends on a combination of factors that include sopping-wettedness, emotional fragility, physical vulnerability, "cute" factor, recognizability, cultural impact and more. A little guy does not necessarily have to be a creature, but can be anything you can point at and say, "little guy!"
CESSBM scale
Some scholars have proposed a scientific scale of little guy that utilizes several metrics to rank and categorize little guys and their abilities. On a scale of zero to three, the little guys are rated on their Chuckability, Engaging, Squishiness, Splorpability, Bones, and Media Literacy. This scale has gained some traction amongst little guy scholars, though it has yet to attain widespread adoption; many little guy enthusiasts[who?] argue that little guys are impossible to quantify on a scale due to the transient and impressionistic qualities.
