Pygmies of Small World

Little is known about the Pygmies of Small World.
What is known is that they are the puppets and dolls that live within the It's a Small World ride at Disney World.
Many believe that their sentience existed long before the initial incident that brought other beings in the park to life. They are a tribal type of species with a chieftain that makes decisions for the tribe. The exact hierarchy of the tribe is unknown.
In the past, many have attempted to observe the behaviors of the Pygmies but the groups have either returned empty-handed or never returned. This has led some to believe that the pygmies eat people, though no evidence has been found to corroborate this theory.
Theories about the Pygmies are as numerous as the varieties of the Pygmies. If any are brave enough to explore It's a Small World and actually observe the behaviors of the Pygmies and return to tell the tale, they would earn quite the reputation. So far no brave souls have ever returned with valuable information.
