Pygmy tribesmen[1][2] are enemies in Size Matters, with a minor appearance in Secret Agent Clank. They are small, yellow, humanoid creatures that inhabit the Vetega Jungle on Ryllus, with a stripe of red paint, a tuft of red hair, a loincloth, and a large sabre. Ratchet and Clank first fought them in "Investigate the artifact", and Clank fought them during "Unlock the temple".
Pygmy tribesmen played "clam dudes" and sea god cultists in Captain Qwark's opera on Venantonio during "Qwarkography, Ch. 3".
The tribesmen live inside or underneath the jungle's mountains, exiting from small hollows to attack their prey, and will sometimes roll forwards instead of walking. Their attacks consist primarily of melee attacks, and they largely operate in groups, relying on numbers to corner foes. Due to this, the Concussion Gun is effective at mowing them down, and the Acid Bomb Glove can similarly defeat clusters of them together. They are preyed upon by the local bury blossom flora, and will actively attack them if lured nearby. Causing five tribesmen to be eaten will unlock the skill point "Bury the Pygmies".
