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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
