When Jenny Everywhere brought home a small, hirsute humanoid with a wild shock of hair in one universe, Jenny's roommate Kim briefly thought he was an Oompa-Loompa before Jenny clarified that he was actually a Troll. (PROSE: I Found Him On The Internet)
In another universe, a similar species known as the Wonkidoodles 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)
Behind the scenes
The Oompa-Loompas are a tribe of diminutive humanoids who appear in Roald Dahl's 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.
