Charon, the largest moon of Pluto, does not actually orbit the dwarf planet; rather, both bodies orbit their gravitational midpoint (barycenter). At over half the diameter of Pluto, Charon can also be considered a Dwarf Planet in its own right, although this has not been made official at this time. The other moons of Pluto - Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra - also orbit the barycenter, and are very small and asymmetrical.

Charon and Pluto are shown much closer together here than in actuality for illustrative purposes.
