but there already are non humanoid creatures smaller than humans.

e.g.

or the swarm in mass effect.

or the insects in the jungle level in killzone 3.

They dont get much attention because simply, they can never be interesting as humanoid creatures.

Anyway, theres a scientific basis to assume that a creature will gain or adapt (through evolution) certain limbs and organs in the same period of time it gains intelligence.

You could also argue an alien race millions of years older than ours could wipe us all out within a few minutes, but again, that wouldnt make a great plot for a game.

Or would it?

How would it? we wouldnt even see them because they would kill us before we leave the atmosphere of our own planet.
