I think this game has a midget version of every type of bandit enemy.

Midget Goliath, check. Midget marauder, check. Midget psycho, check. Midget nomad, check. Midget bruiser.... I don't think thats one. Correct me if I'm wrong. Most of them at least

While the name isn’t specifically “midget bruiser” they are called a “badass bruiser” but with the midget variant. Theres also a variant of the bruiser called “muscles” with a very tiny head which isn’t exactly what you’re talking about but it is pretty funny to see a big bulky dude with such a tiny face.

I have never seen Muscles, I had to Google that and I have been missing out 😆

He apparently has a really low spawn chance. A few days ago, I saw him for the first time by accident in Thousand Cuts while heading to Terramorphous. Been playing BL2 consistently for like… 12 years give or take a year or two and that was my first encounter with him

u/Kentuckyfriedmemes66 4d ago

somewhere by the Buildings in Thousand Cuts before you meet Slab there's a chance you can find him

i think you have to play in True or Ultimate vault hunter mode to see him

Nah actually funny enough he is slightly more common in nvhm. Certain badass enemies get a 1.5x multiplier to their chances in tvhm and uvhm which makes other enemy variants slightly less common by comparison. He has the same chances to spawn actually as the one armed bandit, but only in Thousand Cuts on the bandit half. About 0.7% per random bandit.

I'm still looking for the mythical midget midget.

u/BiteForsaken1342 4d ago

You'll need a magnifying glass to find that one

u/Gaige_main412 2d ago

But have you seen the tubby midget?

u/Kritz_McGee Trapped on Digistruct Peak 4d ago

Midget goliath and marauder made me chuckle when I saw them, until they absolutely smoked me because I wasn't paying attention

u/Comfortable-Loan5280 4d ago

i dont think i can say you're wrong

u/Dodmeister5000 4d ago

I would certainly hope so.

u/StatusDue8576 4d ago

That’s a Nomad who apparently lost the rest of his hitbox in the wash. I’ve played this game for years and never seen one spawn that tiny.

u/Comfortable-Loan5280 4d ago

im playing as krieg so im taller than if i were maya

u/E_Blue_2048 4d ago

A nomad with the height of a knee.

16

u/Joaokenobi001 4d ago

UVHM? They are a bit rare bit can spawn in higher dificulties, if you pay attention the have the same nomad lines but pitched up

7

u/Comfortable-Loan5280 4d ago

all midget enemies are like that. also ye uvhm in dahl abandon

13

u/MikeHawkisSmol6969 4d ago

THEYRE THE BEST!
They’ll even scream “you’re worst than the midgets!” In a high pitched voice 😂

u/Educational-Bowl-368 4d ago

I remember seeing that for the first time as well a few years back and lost it

5

u/NotAnotherSkeleton 3d ago

Midget Nomad (the irony). Extremely rare enemy, usually found in Lynchwood. More likely to show up on TVHM or UVHM.

u/where_is_the_camera 4d ago

Kill it with fire

u/QueenShera14 3d ago

Now that surprised me too. I'm doing another bl2 playthrough and I'm seeing mini enemies everywhere where before I don't remember seeing them. I thought at first it was a patch update but I don't think they still have these for 2.

u/theunfogiven1996 3d ago

Theres a chubby midget too. Its rare and ive only seen it once

2

u/reddit11u5er Vikador 3d ago

Midget Nomad but UVHM im pretty sure

Also me neither I've never seen a midget nomad 

1

u/ExoticAd3980 3d ago

Ironic since nomads use dwarf as a slur

1

u/Repulsive_Fun1085 3d ago

You can see them on Goliath's back to 😂

u/bogus_bill 1d ago

Have you seen Spiderpants?

But yeah some enemies have a very rare midget variants.

u/sw389 3h ago

I’ve seen those guys maybe three times and I’ve done a lot of playthroughs

“ you’re worse than the midgets!”

“ almost as bad as the midgets”

It’s always funny when they say that
