10 - Elves - The Elf can probably trace its origin to Norse mythology. In Iceland, they're sometimes referred to as the "Hidden Folk" and like to drop boulders on people. They usually have one eyebrow. Today, they are generally a smaller pointy-eared forest-loving humanoid incapable of growing facial hair. The males usually have feminine features, as Legolas from the Lord of the Rings movies showed. They can still be deadly with exceptional use of the bow and various magics, but that doesn't make them manly. Preteen women and really hairy bear-men generally tend to have crushes on them. They also have the unfortunate job of being Santa's helpers.

9 - Halfling (Hobbits) - The only thing even close to manly about Hobbits and Halflings are their hairy feet and refusal to wear shoes. Besides that, all they are is 3 feet of cowardice. In wartorn worlds, they somehow find ways to live in peace and harmony in the greenest of pastures, when in reality they would be the first to be conquered and extinct. In the Lord of the RIngs movies, they come home and all is as it was. In the books however, the Hobbits returned to a destroyed and blackened Shire, probably because they have no way to defend themselves other than having more powerful friends.

8 - Satyrs - The Satyr originated in Greek and Roman mythology as goat-legged pervert men that had permenant boners. They were sexual deviants and hedonists. Despite this they were flippant and lighthearted. They haven't changed terribly much, as they still are jolly bearded men with goat legs. The sexual deviant tag seems to have been dropped though. The most famous Satyr you'll see in pop culture these days is Tumnus from the Narnia series, and boy is he a wuss.

7 - Gnomes - The gnomes have always been one of the smallest of humanoids. Today they are immortalized in those despicable garden gnomes that people have all over the place. In fantasy games, they are a small bearded race of above average intelligence who like to make experiments that often have disastrous results.

6 - Goblins - The grostesque and evil little green men are just a step manlier than the kobold in easiness and in size. They are the gnome equivalent of the evil races, except much dumber. Hell the Goblin King is David Bowie, that's pretty wussy right there. Lately there's been a trend to make the goblin a bit more manly as they have become playable characters in various games such as Warhammer and the soon-to-be new Warcraft expansion.

5 - Kobolds - Kobolds originally started as little invisible sprites of German folklore as early as the 13th century. These days, they are the wussiest and easiest to kill monsters in any game you'll ever play. In World of Warcraft, these are among the first monsters to kill when collecting the candles from these rat-men. In any other fantasy genre game, they are so often the first and the easiest of enemies, that it's almost an internal joke among gamers.

4 - Brownies - If you thought gnomes were small, you haven't heard of the brownies. These are the smallest of the small humanoid, and probably as tall as your hand. They can be mischievous or helpful, but they are always small. If you've seen Willow, you'd know the two brownies in that movie that provide little more than comedic relief. That's about all they're good for. Oh and they're also the mascot for the worst NFL franchise (The Browns, duh).

3 - Angels - Out of all the wussy monsters, the Angel is easily the most powerful. However, powerful doesn't equate to manliness. They appear in many mythologies, but the most common is in the Christian mythology as the human with wings who are favored by God himself. They are usually benevolent being of light and messengers of God. Today they appear in many different fantasy games, and usually have a divine aspect to them. Most are goodly in nature, but occasionally you'd find an evil fallen angel (like Satan). Our obsession with Angels will continue with the release of "Legion" this fall, a movie that looks like a must-watch stinker.

2 - Unicorns - For those of you who don't know, unicorns are magical white horse beasts with a single horn protruding from its forehead. It's uncertain why they are so wussy, but might have to do with being accompanied by a rainbow, the color pink and being featured in girly shows like "My Little Pony.". The Pegasus, a flying horse without the horn, seems to have escaped the wussy scrutiny that the unicorn endures.

1 - Fairies - Finally we have a monster that is so wussy, that if you call someone it, it's implying that they are a wussy (or gay). There is no doubting the wussiness of the fairy. Little girls with colorful wings flying around with their magic wands. Sometimes they get squashed by larger women and end up memorialized on the small of their backs. Fairies, sprites, pixies, whatever you want to call them easily make up the wussiest monsters.
