Sheromi

A race of tiny humanoids with yellow eyes and purple skin. The entire species is addicted to a plant pollen named Fhunali that is common on their world. The microscopic pollen is carried on the wind and reaches every island and continent. They naturally produce a chemical that can be used to cure many different illnesses. Because of this, many members of their species have been captured by another race and used for medical experiments. The Intergalactic federation has undergone various projects to help the Sheromi from their addiction and to stop the kidnapping of them, most of these projects have failed but various anti-addiction centers have been established.
