Small, orange-skinned goblins from some far-off land, Umpas have made their lair in the dark backrooms and hidden spaces of the Factory. Psychic predators who feed off shame and regret, they find the hunting easy here -- after all, the Candy Man is always inviting fresh souls to take his test. Umpas are roughly the size of halflings, with rough orange skin and a shock of unkempt green hair. A race of androgenes, they exhibit no sexual dimorphism -- or any secondary sexual characteristics anyone has ever seen. Scholars currently believe they reproduce by exuding a tumorous bud, around which they spin a sticky web woven from candy and the pulped bodies of their victims. Infant Umpas consume flesh, slowly graduating to emotion as thier minds (and sadism) develop. The creatures hunt carefully, first studying their prey for any weaknesses they can exploit. When ready, they use this knowledge to weave a beguiling song: a song devised to first draw these character flaws to the surface, then lure their victim into an appropriate trap selected from the Factory's nigh-infinite inventory. As the victim is castigated by the trap, the Umpas gather close, their song turning fevered and cruel, and consume the emotions generated. If they are directly threatened, Umpas will fight as a pack, defending one another with their claws or the rows of pointed teeth in their overly-large mouths.
