A misspelled country, which, by definition, is a name, becomes a Mini. She the various misspellings of Middle Earth, or all the Mordor misspellings out there. All of them, from what I have seen, are Minis.
And I've already put my input on the shape of this mini somewhere else in this thread.
So, as you'll see if you look down the page, I'm currently sporking a fic in the Black Stallion fandom. I'm pretty sure this is a first, so what would the minis be? I'm guessing mini Blacks.
Oh, and on a related note; if a real world place (say, Britain*) is misspelled in a fic, it's just another mini, right?
*the author misspelled it as "Brittan" in the first paragraph. First sentence, in fact.

I mini should be modeled after something that is at first glance not cute. Horses are cute by their very definition.
I mean, there are the horses, and there are the people, and I don't think they should be modeled after humans. I think there might have been a barn cat or something, but those aren't exactly any better than horses.
I'm thinking mini-enemy jockey(s). I don't remember the book that well, but it seems to me there was competition from somebody in particular. That person, or people, would work as minis.
I can't think of any examples of human minis from canons, but sometimes they're the only option. I think they end up like Munchkins or something like that.

There aren't any fantastic creatures in A-Team, so I had to go with humans.
I'm pretty sure there was a KH fanfiction university at one point that used human minis (or whatever a given character was) with different hair and eye colors. Admittedly they ended up as more like children than Munchkins, but still, actual mini-characters.
The Cadfael continui (I'm ASSUMING in both movie and book 'verse) have Mini-Jeromes. Jerome, for the uninitiated, being the altogether unpleasant clerk to Prior Robert, and constantly trying to get our hero in trouble.
So yeah, after my little brain spout there, I would personally say that Mini-Steve Duncans would work well.
Now I have to go reread the books, because I can't actually remember who that is. *winces*
I remember who he is now. The problem is that he's the protagonist of a few books, too (the only one I've read is The Island Stallion, so I blanked out on his name).
Oh ..., I still remember his name... after not reading the books for more than 10 years.
