In medieval European occultism, the homunculus is a small, false (artificial) human being created through alchemy. It only stood 12 inches tall.

At this point, an embryo will develop with a small, transparent human inside. It would need to be nourished with human blood every day thereafter for 40 weeks, still buried in manure. At that point it becomes effectively functional. Homunculus is Latin for "little man" (more specifically "Man (diminutive)").
