This poll is pretty much self-explaining. Simple vote for your all-time favourite little folks of the Baldur's Gate saga and discuss away.
My own vote goes to the (ooze) mephits. This may come as an surprise to a lot of people here, I know, but I simply can't betray my true feelings.

I only dislike Mephit's abilities, I mean, they are too cheaty! And they are very annoying sometimes in Chateu Irenicus.
I like Quasits a lot, I even roleplayed one and I'll play with a Quasit in BG:EE and BG2:EE, I've been called Crevspenar several times too.
And about Ooze Mephits...
"None shall stand where Ooze Mephit does, unless it walks atop them!!!"
Eventually the goblins learned guncraft but not before one terrible suicide. One goblin, despite warning, kept looking down the barrel of a gun and when told not too simply stated he knew what he was doing. When the gun went off he ended up with a hole where his face was, the other goblins declared it a tragic case of suicide since he apparently "knew what he was doing."
However goblins in BG tend to just shoot arrows and die. So my vote goes for gnomes. Cause gnomes.
Simply because, in 3.5, they are one of the most mechanically broken races in the game, if you know how to use them right.
Also, they are adorable. Ugly, but cute.
They have their own freaking bear that they release on you only to have you chuckle at the encounter
They guard one of the Stat tomes
They carry short swords so the ONES THAT BREAK ON YOU are easily replaced
They're blue
In paper D&D, they're encounters are suppose to be from 40-400(!!!)
DM: in the distance you see a wave of blue -
PC: We're at the ocean already!?
DM: Lemme finish blue 3' foot monsters heading your way numbering in the hundreds.
PC: how many?
DM: Give me a second, have to roll this D10 23 more times and I'll let you know.
PC: Are we ever going to get to the ocean?
DM: Probably no.
In PnP, I was always a big fan of Nilbogs.
DM: You see a group of Goblins in the next room. They seem to have a large pot of gold. What do you do?
Player: I attack them and take all of their treasure.
DM: Ok, you go over and make friends with them and then hand over all of your treasure. They thank you and ask you to leave. Because you are friends now, you walk out.
DM: You are naked in the hall. What do you do?
Player: Um.....
But especially Halflings.
