I found once "Sakura Kinomoto" misspelled as "Sakura Kiminoto". I corrected it on the spot, but if it was in a fanfiction it was a mini. A mini-Guardian Sakura, also.
Wait, I said Sakura? *glomps the mini*
mini-Aragog: Tom Marvol Riddle
mini-Hi-Blah: Ziggy H. Bomb
mini-Major General: Bunthorn
mini-Reapers: Cheub, Tobias Vaun, Emoga, J-8, Anne Cranley, Lord Ravesworth, Fire Escaping
And what would you call a Cyrano de Bergerac mini? Because I found Cyranno. I also found a Three Musketeers mini, D'artangon.
People actually write fanfiction for The Demented Cartoon Movie? Where do you find it?
I am disturbed by the potential for badfic.
…but I've probably just jinxed it into existence.
For example, that bit in Mattimeo where Friar Hugo was complaining that the kids had somehow managed to spell Basil's name as "Bazzerl". Would Bazzerl become a Mini-Deepcoiler?
Typos in canonical works count, too. That's how I got
my mini-Balrog, Isengrad.
Elcalion, who now has "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard" stuck in his head. I guess that's the Middle-earth equivalent of rickrolling yourself?
That's where Whark and Ghen came from.

Either a mini white plume (for the symbol of his honor) or a jackass (since he's always calling people that).
I'm tempted to say "mini-Nose" ;p
The Nose is practically a character all by itself, so it deserves the Mini!
Because if so I've got several Dark is Rising ones:
mini-Milgwyn: Owen Davis, Merriman Lion, Gummery, Jane Stanton, mon [Will's mother, described in one story as "his mon"], Caradog Pritchard
There are also two mini-places, Abersywyth and Huntercome Manor, and a mini-object of power, the Book of Gamarye.
Also if there were an OFU for The Dark is Rising, something I have been toying with for some time, although the amount of bad DIRS fanfic doesn't quite seem to be at that level, it would have a female!White Rider (think Girl Kilconey in OFUR) on the staff.
Does the 'mon' count? I mean, mom's not a proper noun so is it just a layman's misspelling... I haven't read Dark is Rising series in a while...
I'm getting weird visions of Will's mom in a rasta hat, or even as a pokemon.
I thought it would be entertaining/potentially useful for the mini-milgwyn to have the mon as their matriarch. Perhaps as a result they develope a strange fondness for the Pokémon TCG. Rumor has it that they can be bribed with a holographic Charizard, though as no-one has ever seen one there is no way to test this.
