dwarfish
Notably short statured
Dwarfish means unusually small or stunted in size, like a dwarf.
The word applies to people, animals, or things that seem diminutive relative to their kind: dwarfish trees clinging to the rocky slope, a dwarfish man with surprising strength.
The term can carry dismissive or belittling connotations when applied to people.
