munchkin
Pint-sized kiddo
A munchkin is a small person or child, used affectionately: The munchkins are ready for bed.
The term comes from the diminutive inhabitants of Munchkinland in *The Wizard of Oz*.
It often implies cuteness or insignificance.
In fantasy gaming, a munchkin is a player who exploits rules to gain unfair advantages, prioritizing winning over storytelling.
