In [[Universe C (A World of Pure Unimagination)|another universe]], a similar species known as the [[Wonkidoodle]]s existed. Although they were indeed diminutive, the colour of their skin had a ruddy complexion over the expected orange colour, and their green heads of hair were actually bad wigs. Overall, they looked like the love-children of [[Donald Trump]] and a [[Hobbit]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A World of Pure Unimagination (short story)|A World of Pure Unimagination]]'') | |||

The Oompa-Loompas are a tribe of diminutive humanoids who appear in {{w|Roald Dahl|Roald Dahl}}'s ''{{w|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory}}'' and its various adaptations. In the original edition of the book they were depicted as a fictional African pygmy tribe, but, being convinced of the racist overtones that this brought to the story, Dahl altered them in later editions to be fair-skinned and more overtly non-human, a line also followed by all of the story's official adaptions. | The Oompa-Loompas are a tribe of diminutive humanoids who appear in {{w|Roald Dahl|Roald Dahl}}'s ''{{w|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory}}'' and its various adaptations.
