S01E08 focuses on invading rats, some of which suffer minor injuries from people who attack them. S01E11 has a scene with a young bear stuck in a bear trap. The bear is saved and its wounds are taken care of. The trap has no teeth, so the bear suffers just a bit of skin irritation.

At most, Grandpa Little will berate Dinky for getting into trouble. Played for comedic effect.

S03E07 there is a spider. Because the littles are small the spider is rather gigantic by comparison, more like a denizen.

There's a lot of jokes about Dinky being stupid, frequently calling him "idiot" and "moron", but that's about it.

The Littles face bugs and small animals, but they are significantly bigger because the Littles are so small.

Not really a category for this but Season 3 is rife with racist depictions of racial minorities.

The closest thing to this is Dr. Hunter trying to track down The Littles and The Littles following the life of somebody on occasion. Nothing close to stalking.

S01E10 revolves around a mother addicted to prescription medication. Her child contemplates taking the drugs, but does not. Dinky also takes some by accident and hallucinates for comic effect. S01E07 has Henry fake an illness to get drugs for one of The Littles to save someone's life.

S2E6 kind of implies Grandpa Little at least thinks about it if you read deep enough into his language, but no actual deaths happen.

Dinky flies a tiny airplane which crashes on occasion. The crashes are typically never catastrophic and are more comical in nature. There is also a close call in S03E01 where a real plane malfunctions but manages to land safely.
