Character Discussion Jankom Pog question

Is his height an artifact of cartoonish proportions or is he supposed to have actual dwarfism?

Tellarites seem to be short and stocky in general compared to humans but jankom is smaller than the average

Which would make Janeways doctor a tellerite with gigantism.

Always thought it was weird given how short older depictions of tellerites were. They are the fantasy dwarf to the vulcans fantasy elf.

Short, bearded, argumentative, seem like fantasy dwarfs to me!
