Recommendations for "weird little dudes" Commanders

I've come to realise that on top of preferring mono-coloured decks, I really like when the Commander isn't some giant world eating Dragon or Demon and is just a weird little dude. I've made [[Fblthp, Lost on the Range]] and [[Squee the Immortal]] that fit this, but I'm looking to complete the cycle with the other colours. I've had a quick look and so far I've got [[Skrelv]] for White, [[Tinybones]] (not sure which one yet) for Black, [[Loot, Exuberant Explorer]] for Green, and [[Omarthis]] for colourless.

Open to any and all suggestions for weird little dudes to fill the missing spots (especially for Loot, I'm not sold on Magic Pikachu).

As much as I enjoy multi colour decks, I find the deck building restriction of mono-colour much more fulfilling and the decks more fun to play.

Toby: Bracket 2 Blink deck. Fun, but quite slow to get going.

Malcolm: Bracket 4 Proliferate/Extra Turns chaining. Can be a bit of a gamble how the game begins, but it's always fun dropping Omniscience on turn 4 before hand dumping and playing solitaire for 20 minutes to kill the table...assuming they don't just scoop and we play a new game.

Starscream: Bracket 4 Burn. Uses mass card draw to kill the table all at once with cards like Peer Into The Abyss and Necrodominance. Bonus wincon in Gary/Exsanguinate if someone manages to cut my deck in half.

Squee: Bracket 3 Combo. It's basically my Magic version of Exodia...if Exodia had interchangeable arms and legs.

Shigeki: Bracket 3 Mill/Landfall/Enchantress/Green Stompy. Basically a value engine based around Shigeki being an Enchantment Creature that nets you lands. I want to case Shigeki almost as many times in a row as I want to cast Squee.

Omarthis: Bracket 3 +1/+1 Counters/Manifest. Go tall by making Omarthis really big, then kill him to go wide and overwhelm the table.

Niv Mizzet: Bracket 3 Legends Matter. As many 2-colour Legendaries that care about other Legends/Historic permanents while trying to get all 10 colour combinations out for maximum draw/life gain/burn damage.
