Some part of their body is normal in size as other normal adults possess, but some of the parts including their height are abnormally too short. Dwarfs usually suffer from the short limb conditions. Their all rest body parts are grown well and are in normal condition, but one or two parts that suffer are relatively too short. Dwarfism is not only found in humans, but animals and plants as well suffer from this condition. Dwarfs are usually produced as a result of genetic abnormalities and variation. Dwarfism is a medical condition that includes abnormalities regarding short stature and height. There are various myths and fantasy based stories popular about the dwarfs from the prehistoric times.

Midget is not a medical or literary term. It is slang for a person very much short in height. Midget is a slang and is considered highly offensive. Early in the past, the word Midget was widely used for the person suffering from dwarfism. Then in the mid of the 20th century, use of this word become limited, and now it is not that much spoken and popular because of being belligerent and offensive. A midget is a person with extremely short height less than 147 cm. A midget is one who is suffering from proportionate dwarfism. It is due to medical abnormalities and mutation in the genes, but in the result, the person that lacks the normal height have body equally proportioned. Unlike dwarfs that have short limbs, arms, etc. Midgets are the normal people with everything normal in them except their height. Nowadays we see people with height less than or equal to 4 feet, all of them are midgets if their body is toned and all the body parts are in normal form as compared to their height. The word midget is derived from the word ‘midge,’ which means small fly. The word first was introduced in 1848 in Canada where the sand fly was called as Midge because of being so small in size. The word is considered as slang because it seems like comparing a person with short height with the fly or referring the short height person as a fly. The word becomes bellicose and offensive as it was mostly used for the females suffering from the proportionate dwarfism. Such sort of females was treated inhumanly, and this started controversies all over, and soon the word midget was considered as insulting, offensive and violent.
