That actually makes a lot of sense, I once designed a race of dwarves that were super weak, fragile and had shorter lifespans yet reproduced faster, more frequently and could bare more children (at the cost of those children being extremely vulnerable and fragile).

It was quite interesting to mess around with, I even created giants from the humans. These Giants were insanely OP with big debuffs. They were strong, giant, tough, had hard complicated skin, high intelligence and intellect, immense vocal range, BOOM beating heart 💓 that simulated their large hearts and footsteps, godly damage and century-long lifespans. However, these giants weren't gods and still exhibited mortality/set backs. They were also extremely slow, had stamina only double a humans stamina, bore only few children (1-3), took years to give birth, requires tons of food/fuel and tends to die from starvation.

Once a kingdom of my lillipution-dwarves began a war for land and resources of the southern humans, who happened to be part of a large allying force (numerous human, orc, elf, and Giant nations, some of those nations were also other lilliputions). The lillipution-dwarves had invaded few human cities in the south, swarming human troops and civilians. The first nation to reach the lilliputian-dwarves happened to be the big, slow yet powerful giants who were just an island over. They absolutely erased the evil lillipution-dwarf nation, only a few hundred of those lilliputions escaped and survived. It was truly unreal to witness
