So what are some small creatures which would attack a person who's around thumb sized? I need miniature monsters, the stranger the better.

Cat and dogs would be a serious problem.

LAW OF THE WILD!

Small snakes. Big insects. Fairies.

Praying Mantis

Frogs

Irukandji jellyfish
Not so much 'attack', but if you wander into water with them in it, then you'll get wrecked

So is the person thumb-sized or is the munster attacking a normally sized person?

Former: Owls and other birds-- especially chickens, cats, small sphinxes, dogs, lizards, centipedes / spiders, seals, dolphins, pseudodragons, large fish, small oozes, homunculi / liberated familiars, fey, large ants (?), other fey, gnomes, other small people, fruit golems, but perhaps the most terrifying would be normal children.

Latter: a chihuahua that's as big as a mouse maybe? A swarm of the little bastards?

>large ants (?)

That's not really a question, ants will try to consume anything regardless of individual size. The problem would be that it's impossible for a thumb sized person to fight them off with conventional weapons of their size.

This. Imagine being that small and trying to fight a nest of ants. There would be no way of winning.

Also agreeing with the prior poster: owls would be horrifying if you were that small. Silent one-hit kills out of nowhere. Also snakes. They just sit motionless, camouflaged, barely detectable, and by the time you're close enough to notice it's already too late. If you're that small a bite from a venomous snake would kill you in seconds. Let alone the fact that to get to that point you're getting stabbed with what to you would be the equivalent of two hypos the size of small swords.

Stirges. Mosquitoes.

Shrews

Also, the shrike.

Look it up, those are some crazy animals.

Pretty much anything remotely predatory.

FUCKING
OWLS

Owls are unbelievably well adapted for nocturnal ambush hunting and are almost silent in flight. When these miniature people are walking around in open fields at night, they would have some of their comrades just disappear.

Ticks. Just ticks. Already the size of a small dog to a person that tiny, they'll gnash into your leg and bloat up with enough blood to drop you; and you won't even feel it.

Toads are predatory assholes, and at that size their poison might be effective enough to wreck your day even if you don't get eaten.

Whatever this thing is.

Anything small and potentially carnivorous (and that's a LOT more than you'd think)

Please tell me this is a Mouse Guard thread.

It is now.

>Is it small?
>Can if fit part or all of the PC in it's mouth?
If yes to both it'll probably attack the PC

>There would be no way of winning. The EDF diagrees. TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK,

It really depends on the rest of your setting. If it is nonmagical & modern, the best you're getting are small animals, children, and the stray roomba. If there's some magic, the players could get bullied by fairies 5 times their size or get attacked by animated toys, maybe even an army of those green soldier men.

Spiders. And not just generic shit, like fantasy giant spiders that just scream and are generally in the vicinity of webs, but specific spiders. Remember that as a whole spiders are the most successful ambush predators. Period. Bar none. Ogre spiders drop down from above with nets held in their front limbs. Spitting spiders spray silk that is infused with paralytic venom, so it wraps you up and paralyzes you. Trapdoor spiders create actual tripwire systems around their holes.

The key will be knowing all the cool shit that different tiny animals can do so that it isn't just a rehash of giant monster attacks in normal games. For example, did you know that many snakes hav heat-sensing organs? Try facing a rattlesnake with literal thermal vision. Or how about the fact that rats can fit into any hole that their skull can fit through, no matter how big their torso? Or the fact that cylindricus ants will literally explode in a burst of toxic glue to protect their hive?

Tiny critters can be fucking scary. That's how you differentiate them from fantasy giant versions of the animal.

Ticks don't parasitize animals that small.

Shrikes use thorns and other spikes as food caches, not as a means of killing prey.

Faggots read a Facebook post from I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE and think they know shit about animals.
