Oompa-Loompas
Oompa-Loompas are knee-high beings who originate from Loompaland in the region of Loompa, a small isolated area in West Africa.
The Oompa-Loompas would end up being preyed upon or attacked by the various predators that also reside in Loompaland before Wonka invited them to work at his factory and are paid in their favorite food, cacao beans, which were extremely rare in their island.
The Oompa-Loompas are also mischievous, loving practical jokes and singing, the latter which they very good at improvising at, according to Wonka.
As seen in each bad child's exit, the Oompa-Loompas sing moralizing songs of the child's folly.
In early editions of the novel, originally called "Whipple-Scrumpets" before publication, the Oompa-Loompas are shown as African pygmies before Dahl rewrote them to be white skinned and golden haired.
In both editions, despite working in the factory, Oompa-Loompas insist on maintaining their native clothing: men wear skins, women wear leaves, and children wear nothing.
In the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, written to be played by actors with Dwarfism, Oompa-Loompas are portrayed as orange-skinned and green-haired men in Germanic clothing with striped shirts and baggy lederhosen-like pants.
In the 2005 film, all of them played by Deep Roy while wearing their tribal clothing during their time in Loompaland, the Oompa Loompas wear typical factory worker uniforms in the factory.
