A staple of '80s adventure cartoon shows, the Small Annoying Creature is a type of Sidekick. The Small Annoying Creature is there to be cute, provide comic asides and occasionally get into trouble and need rescuing. Often a "merchandising critter" . Sometimes it's crossed with the Non-Human Sidekick. It frequently has a Verbal Tic - and truly obnoxious nails-on-blackboard voice talent. There was a time when even the most straight-faced of animated adventure serials had a Small Annoying Creature to provide a bit of slapstick in the background. Examples of Small Annoying Creature include:

abstract	A staple of '80s adventure cartoon shows, the Small Annoying Creature is a type of Sidekick. The Small Annoying Creature is there to be cute, provide comic asides and occasionally get into trouble and need rescuing. Often a "merchandising critter" . Sometimes it's crossed with the Non-Human Sidekick. It frequently has a Verbal Tic - and truly obnoxious nails-on-blackboard voice talent. There was a time when even the most straight-faced of animated adventure serials had a Small Annoying Creature to provide a bit of slapstick in the background. Saw a revival when C.G.I. became the norm for children's animation with a lot of films using them in advertising material. Note that this trope is for characters who are annoying to the other characters, not just to the audience. See also Weasel Mascot, Talking Animal, Cute but Cacophonic. If the Small Annoying Creature is a dog, it's a Mister Muffykins. Examples of Small Annoying Creature include:
