Question about Pog.

[ELCHawk]

Is he a little person? I don't remember Tellerites being so short. He is also 16, so maybe he hasn't hit his growth spurt. I hope this isn't considered an insensitive question.

Since their introduction in TOS, Tellarites are commonly short-statured compared to other humanoids.

Thanks!

He is literally 3 feet tall.

The DSC Tellarites are fairly tall. The admiral we saw in S2 and the cadet from a few weeks ago.

I liked the ENT Tellarites & Andorians somewhat more that the DSC ones.

He is literally 3 feet tall.

Where did that come from?

The next ep

...probably should have spoiler-coded it.

Pretty sure he's a kid as well, like most of them.

Yup, he’s still a kid. They’ve given the ages of most of the cast, with Gwynn and Dal 17, Jankom 16, and Rok-Tahk 8, though I’m pretty sure we don’t know how old Zero or Murf are at this point.

Zero is 3. Murf is about 250,000. Just guesses.

True. And Murf is the larval state of The Great Bird of the Galaxy.

Dal is tiny for 17. But then he is an alien.

An alien with a weird resemblance to Will Smith.

Pog is also a character in an animated cartoon show that uses stylized and somewhat exaggerated character designs. If you design characters for a show like this, you want to make sure to give all main characters a distinct silhouette that makes them instantly stand out from the others. Pog just happens to be the shorter and bulkier type. I doubt he's meant to be a little person, although that would be hella cool actually.
