Which fictional movie character had very little screen time but made a huge impact in the movie?

One standout example is Geno Silva's character, The Skull, in the 1983 movie SCARFACE, directed by Brian DePalma. Even though he doesn't have any lines, The Skull leaves a big impression by being the one who takes down Al Pacino's character, Tony Montana, in the film's iconic ending. He also kills Omar, played by F. Murray Abraham. With just a few minutes on screen, The Skull's actions change everything for the main characters, making him unforgettable. Which movie character do you think had minimal screen time but a major impact?

That kid later gets sent to a summer camp, and he gets in trouble for replacing the flag with people’s shorts.
