stumplike

Squat and stubby

Resembling a stump—the base of a tree left after the trunk has been cut, or any short, thick remnant.

The word describes things that are squat, truncated, or blunt: stumplike legs, stumplike fingers.

It suggests something that once extended further but has been reduced to a stubby form.
