We all know the giant monsters, your Godzillas and Kongs and Gameras and rancors and such. And there's certainly no shortage of roughly man-sized monsters like the Xenomorph, werewolves, Pumpkinhead, Freddy Krueger, etc.

But then there are the little monsters. They mostly attack en masse (but not always), were often darkly humorous (especially the ones from the 80s), but can be just as deadly as the larger creatures.
This contest is all about them.

To qualify, the monsters should be smaller than an average grown human, but they should have been depicted on-screen (or on-panel, in the case of comics), so no viral or bacterial infections where we can only see symptoms. Movies, TV, video games, and comic books qualify as sources.

As usual, entries should be 200x200 pixels and/or 1 Mb, or smaller, and they should be safe for work.

Let's have up to three entries per user.

Gremlin(s) (in this case from "Gremlins 2")
 
Does Damien from "The Omen" (1976) count?

Not exactly what I had in mind, but honestly, I also didn't have zombie children in mind. That's part of the fun in running one of these contests, though, setting a topic with rules and see how others interpret them.
I haven't rejected @the G-man 's zombie children, because as zombies, they do qualify as monsters in the fantastical sense. As such, Damien as the son of Satan and a demonic being in his own right would qualify as well.

But just to nip this in the butt, this doesn't mean any kid with supernatural powers qualifies as a monster. Ron Howard in The Twilight Zone's It's A Good Life may be a little tele- and psychokinetic sociopath, but for the purpose of this contest, he (and characters like him) does not qualify as a monster.

Actually, I think it was Billy Mumy in the Twilight Zone Episode, "It's a good Life"...
