Belfaygor 's curse is often brought up in discussions of the inconsistencies about aging and death in the Land of Oz, as it indicates that mitosis continues to exist in Oz. The beard disappears when he is caught and released from the pirate sack Peter found in The Gnome King of Oz, after which he vows never to grow one again.

'' However, she has no idea that her magic dishpan can carry its occupants anywhere they desire to go. Ugu the shoemaker steals Cayke 's dishpan and uses it to kidnap Ozma and steal all the magic in the Land of Oz. When Cayke discovers her dishpan has gone missing, she is greatly distressed, and causes quite a fuss by wailing and screaming.

Chiss resembles a porcupine the size of a ten - bushel basket and has the ability to shoot its quills from its body. It apparently does not have the ability to grow new quills, as it must gather up its quills and put them back in its body after firing them. In the Oz book, Chiss threw its quills at Ojo the Lucky and his party, but Scraps the Patchwork Girl shielded the group from the quills. The group took Chiss 's quills with them so that the creature could not attack anyone again. Chopfyt Chopfyt is a character in The Tin Woodman of Oz.

At the end of the book, he becomes King of the Beasts in the dark forest in Oz 's southern quadrant called Quadling Country, though this is rarely brought up in later Oz books. In the sequels he appears in minor roles as Ozma 's bodyguard and beast of burden, along with the Hungry Tiger. In The Cowardly Lion of Oz, a lion collector seeks to capture him, while he seeks to restore his courage. Dorothy Gale Main article : Dorothy Gale Dorothy Gale is the main character and adolescent protagonist in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ), and the several other sequel Oz books. She is depicted as being a very young, heroic and sweet tempered orphan girl from a small farm on the prairies of Kansas. Baum never reveals Dorothy 's age, but she is thought to be no older than twelve years old. In appearance she is described as having chubby little hands, a round rosy face, big earnest eyes filled with awe and a merry laugh. She has a small pet dog she calls Toto, and loves dearly. After her first adventure in the Land of Oz, she returns to Kansas via the charmed Silver Shoes, ( Ruby Slippers in the classic MGM musical of 1939 ) she obtained while there but lost between worlds when she was teleported back. Not much later, she unexpectedly returns to Oz again, thus having several more adventures before permanently settling there as an official princess of Oz in the book The Emerald City of Oz ( 1910 ). Dr. Pipt Dr. Pipt is sometimes called `` The Crooked Magician. '' He first appears in The Patchwork Girl of Oz. He is so crooked that his legs are nearly as handy as his arms. When he sits, one knee is under his chin and the other behind his back. Dr. Pipt lives in the Munchkin Country with his wife Margolotte. He is notable for creating the Patchwork Girl ( who was created by Dr. Pipt 's Margolotte ) and the Glass Cat. He was deprived of his magic abilities by Glinda for doing magic without a permit. Glinda also straightened his crooked limbs. He also invented the Powder of Life, although in The Marvelous Land of Oz, its invention is credited to a Dr. Nikidik, another crooked magician from the Gillikin Country. In an article in the Spring 1965 issue of The Baum Bugle, Lee Speth argues that Nikidik faked his death in the earlier book, to assume a new identity as Pipt. Ervic Ervic takes the Three Adepts at Magic to Reera the Red Ervic is a major character in Glinda of Oz. Displaying `` courage, cleverness, and ingenuity, '' Ervic is often considered one of Baum 's strongest male characters ( as the author 's male characters often tend to be ineffectual ). When Queen Coo - ee - oh launches her submarine attack on the Flatheads, Ervic is one of the young men in her flagship. The Flatheads quickly dispatch with Coo - ee - oh, as they simply wanted revenge on her personally, but as she is the only one who knows the magic to get back to the submerged city, the young men sit in the boat, unsure what to do. Ervic is approached by the Three Adepts at Magic who are stranded in the form of fish. They wish him to catch them in a bucket and to follow their instructions, and that if he does so, he will save himself, his city, and his companions. They help him get the boat to shore and have him carry the bucket to Reera the Red. Reera is a beautiful young woman who practices Yookoohoo ( transformation - only ) magic for her own amusement. Reera is interested by his impertinence with her, and Ervic very shrewdly manipulates her into restoring the Adepts to human form, taking quite a bit of time and waiting for her to ask permission to transform them several times. The Adepts are able to assist the raising of the city, and with Coo - ee - oh gone, Lady Aurex is named Queen of the Skeezers by Princess Ozma, and for his valiance, Aurex names Ervic her Prime Minister. Eureka Main article : Eureka ( Oz ) Eureka is a pink ( occasionally purple ) kitten who belongs to Dorothy Gale. She was given to Dorothy by her Uncle Henry who found her as a stray, he tells Dorothy he named her Eureka because the word means `` I found it ! '' She appears in several Oz books beginning with Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz ( 1908 ). She is often portrayed as conniving and deceitful, but overall has a good heart. Evoldo Evoldo is the late king of the Land of Ev, a monarchy across the Deadly Desert from Oz. He is discussed and pictured in Ozma of Oz, but has died before the adventure takes place. Evoldo was a cruel despot ; after purchasing Tik - Tok, the clockwork man, and giving him his name, Evoldo sold his wife and ten children ( five boys, five girls ) to the Nome King in exchange for a long life. Later, regretting this bargain, he locked Tik - Tok in a stone chamber and committed suicide by jumping into the Nonestic Ocean. Foolish Owl The Foolish Owl is a blue owl that resides in Munchkin Country and first appeared in The Patchwork Girl of Oz. She and the Wise Donkey work as public advisors. Frogman Frogman on the cover of The Lost Princess of Oz The Frogman is a human - sized frog who appears as a character who is first introduced in The Lost Princess of Oz ( 1917 ). He was once an ordinary frog, and his similarity to Professor Woggle - Bug is rather clear, though unlike the Woggle - Bug, he is not thoroughly educated, and is much more interested in dandy fashion. He accidentally bathes in the Truth Pond, and is thereafter magically compelled to speak only the truth. In 1986, March Laumer made him, with the proper name Frederick Fraukx, the title character of The Frogman of Oz : The Oz Book for 1947, along with a U.S. Navy frogman. The Frogman is a crucial character in Jeff Freedman 's 1994 novel The Magic Dishpan of Oz. Fyter the Tin Soldier Captain Fyter with the Tin Woodman and Woot on the cover of The Tin Woodman of Oz Captain Fyter the Tin Soldier is a character who is first introduced in The Tin Woodman of Oz. After the Tin Woodman left his beloved Nimmie Amee after losing his heart ( as he felt he could not love her ), Fyter, a member of the Munchkin army, met and fell in love with her when he found her crying over her lost love. Unfortunately, she was a ward to the Wicked Witch of the East, who made Fyter 's sword do what the Woodman 's axe did and cut off his limbs, which Ku - Klip the tin smith replaced with tin limbs ( although Fyter is not bothered by his lack of a heart ). Nimmie Amee agreed to marry him, but on the day of their wedding, a storm rose up, and the rain rusted Fyter so badly that he was frozen in place along a little used forest path. There he stood for years until he was discovered by the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, Woot the Wanderer, and Polychrome the Rainbow 's Daughter. Once lubricated and restored to life, Fyter accompanies the group of adventurers on their quest to find Nimmie Amee, intending to fulfill his vow of marriage ( although he is willing to give her up if she chooses the Woodman over him ). When they finally find her, she is happily married to Chopfyt, the assembled and combined `` meat '' parts of the two men. Finding Nimmie Amee happily married, they return to the Emerald City where Captain Fyter joins the Royal Army of Oz. Eventually, Ozma sends Fyter to keep order among the wild inhabitants of the unknown areas of the Gillikin Country. Gayelette Gayelette was an ancient princess and sorceress who lived in a ruby palace in the northern quadrant called Gillikin Country of the Land of Oz. She was the original owner and creator of the charmed Golden Cap which had a curse cast upon it that compelled the creatures called Winged Monkeys long before the Wicked Witch of the West surfaced. Glass Cat Main article : Glass Cat Bungle, the Glass Cat is a cat made of glass who was brought to life by the magic `` Powder of Life '' potion in The Patchwork Girl of Oz ( 1913 ).

Glinda Main article : Glinda Glinda is the Good Witch of the South who appears in the end of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ). She is the sorceress who rules over the southern quadrant called Quadling Country in the Land of Oz. Her overall character is a figure that many of the other Oz characters consult when in trouble or in need of any assistance. Glinda is described as being highly intelligent, wise and independent. Outwardly, she is very beautiful despite the hundreds of years she has lived and is always honest, kind and gentle to everyone who encounters her. She also is one of the most powerful and respected woman in Oz and the official protector of Oz 's rightful ruler, the child Queen Princess Ozma. Good Witch of the North Main article : Good Witch of the North The Good Witch of the North is named Locasta -- Tattypoo. She appears in the beginning of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ). She is the first witch Dorothy Gale encounters upon her unexpected arrival to the Land of Oz. She is the official ruler of Oz 's northern quadrant called Gillikin Country but is a very dear friend to the Munchkins. She is described as being very old in appearance and has a jolly and humble personality. She wears a magic white hat that can transform into a magic chalkboard, which she can consult for advice. After Dorothy 's farmhouse landed in Munchkin Country and killed the Wicked Witch of the East, the Good Witch of the North gives Dorothy the dead witch 's charmed Silver Shoes and kisses her on the forehead for protection while on her journey. She is mentioned in the book The Road to Oz ( 1909 ) but does not physically feature again until The Giant Horse of Oz ( 1928 ). Good Witch of the South Main article : Glinda the Good Witch The Good Witch of the South is named Glinda. She became the official ruler of the southern quadrant called Quadling Country in the Land of Oz, after she vanquished the Wicked Witch of the South. Graham gems The Graham Gems are six roguish graham - flour muffin children from Bunbury who first appear in The Emerald City of Oz. Great Royal Marshmallow The Great Royal Marshmallow is a marshmallow man that rules over the Candy Country. In Dorothy of Oz, Dorothy and Toto are brought before the Great Royal Marshmallow by the Royal Sheriff when they broke the law of picking lollipops. The Great Royal Marshmallow was not pleased with what the Royal Sheriff told him as Dorothy learns the Great Royal Marshmallow is depressed due to a stomachache. Dorothy convinces the Royal Sheriff to let her help the Great Royal Marshmallow get rid of his stomachache. Dorothy tells the Great Royal Marshmallow to stick to eating marshmallows for a while until his stomach is feeling better. When the Great Royal Marshmallow pardons Dorothy and Toto of their crime, Dorothy tells the Great Royal Marshmallow that she came to the Land of Oz upon being told by Glinda the Good Witch that the Land of Oz is in danger. The Great Royal Marshmallow helps Dorothy by having his subjects give Dorothy some supplies for her journey ranging from baskets containing fruits, an assortment of candy, and an assortment of nuts. The Great Royal Marshmallow has the Royal Sheriff escort Dorothy and Toto to the border as he tells Dorothy that Princess Gayelette can help her. Guardian of the Gates The Guardian of the Gates, illustrated by W.W. Denslow The Guardian of the Gates is a character in several of the Oz books. He is never known by any other name, but he is depicted as a singular character who lives in a small room, based on its description significantly larger than a standard guardhouse, in the wall that surrounds the Emerald City. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ) and The Marvelous Land of Oz ( 1904 ), his job is to adorn green spectacle glasses around the heads of all visitors to the Emerald City before they enter. This is done to protect their eyes from the thousands of glittering green gems within the city that are so precious and rare, they would cause blindness without the spectacles. The glasses can only be unclocked by a solid gold key that the Guardian always wears on a thick gold chain around his neck. After The Marvelous Land of Oz he abandoned the practice, for General Jinjur 's Army of Revolt and Tippetarius had all entered the city without damage to their eyes. The spectacles were the idea of the Wizard of Oz to make the city appear greener than it actually is. The Guardian of the Gates appears only occasionally after this book, and his duty becomes significantly lighter. In The Patchwork Girl of Oz ( 1913 ) when Ojo the Lucky reaches the city, he and his companions are taken into the Guardian 's room, where the Soldier with the Green Whiskers tells the Guardian of the Gates that he has a note from Ozma that Ojo is to be taken prisoner. So the Guardian of the Gates removes the traditional prison garb, a white robe that completely covers the prisoner, from a closet and places it on Ojo and leaves the Soldier with the Green Whiskers in charge of him. In John R. Neill 's Oz books, the Guardian of the Gates and the Soldier with the Green Whiskers are frequently shown as friends, but the subsequent books of Jack Snow give the duty to Omby Amby ( the Soldier 's name ), and there is no entry for the Guardian of the Gates in Snow 's Who 's Who in Oz. In Neill 's The Scalawagons of Oz, the Guardian mentions a desire to visit his cousin, Oompa, which may explain, in - universe, why Omby Amby is fulfilling that function. Further confusion is created in the MGM movie, in which both roles are played by Frank Morgan, and publicity referred to the Guardian 's equivalent as `` the Doorman '' and the Soldier 's equivalent as `` the Guard ''. No other Guardian of the Gates is described in any of Baum 's books, aside from a stout woman who takes over the function during Jinjur 's rule. In The Marvelous Land of Oz musical, in which the role was originated by Steve Huke, the Guardian is conflated ± with the man interviewed doing housework, and he also claims to have a wife and ten children, a claim not made by anyone in the book. The Guardian of the Gates had his own eponymous song, written in bass clef, in The Wizard of Oz musical extravaganza, by Baum and composer Paul Tietjens, but it was cut after only two performances and never made it to Broadway, although the sheet music was published for consumer use. The Gump The Gump is a friendly mounted elk - like creature head who makes his first appearance in The Marvelous Land of Oz ( 1904 ). He was brought to life with the magic substance called the Powder of Life. He also appeared in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz where he meets and talks to Dorothy until Ozma arrives ( for some reason, she does n't like it when he talks ). He is a main character in Walt Disney 's 1985 live action fantasy film Return to Oz, where he actually looks more like a green - furred moose. Herby Herby is a character featured in the Oz books of Ruth Plumly Thompson. He was introduced in her 1928 novel, The Giant Horse of Oz, as a medical doctor who had been transformed into a bottle of cough syrup by Mombi. He was freed from his transformation by Prince Philidor of Ozure Isles early in the novel, but retained a three - shelf medicine chest in his chest and cough drop eyes, and by the end of the novel, was proclaimed the Court Physician in the Emerald City palace, although, because Ozites are almost never sick and can not die of natural causes, he does not have much work to do, only treating occasional injuries. Herby 's name probably derives from the medicinal herbs that would have been contained in his chest. He appeared subsequently in Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz, Ojo in Oz, The Wishing Horse of Oz, Handy Mandy in Oz, and Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz. Because of Herby 's late introduction to the Oz series, the character remains under copyright and can not appear in Oz Apocrypha, although, because of his general usefulness, allowing characters to get injured on their adventures without being stuck, he has in several cases. Mark Ellery Haas ( 1952 -- 2007 ), for example, built a story around him for a novel titled The Medicine Man of Oz. This book was actually published, but he sought to gain permission from The Baum Trust, which denied it to him, causing him to withdraw the published book subsequent to its publication. Although its author had no objection to the transfer of digital copies, published copies of this book are quite rare and command high prices on eBay. Hungry Tiger Main article : Hungry Tiger The Hungry Tiger is a large, ferocious beast. Like his companion the Cowardly Lion, he serves as the bodyguard of Princess Ozma and beast of burden. He is always very, very hungry, and always professes a desire to eat a fat baby, which he never gets around to doing. In The Hungry Tiger of Oz ( 1926 ), he is hired as a prison guard to eat prisoners that try to escape, but he can not do it because of he has a conscience, so he just bites them instead. Jack Pumpkinhead Main article : Jack Pumpkinhead Jack Pumpkinhead first appears in the second Oz book The Marvelous Land of Oz ( 1904 ). When Mombi animates a stick figure with a pumpkin for a head using the magic potion called `` Powder of Life '' it comes to life and is named Jack, who then becomes friends with Mombi 's slave named Tip. He then becomes Tip 's companion for the rest of the book, and appears in several sequel books thereafter, including a titular appearance in Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz ( 1929 ). He is described as being a very timid and gentle character, one who would n't even harm a fly. Jack is also a main character in the 1985 fantasy film Return to Oz. Jellia Jamb Main article : Jellia Jamb Jellia Jamb aka the `` pretty green girl '', is the head maid of the Emerald City 's royal palace. She first appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ) and is first named in The Marvelous Land of Oz ( 1904 ). Jellia Jamb is portrayed as a rather sweet and organized girl when on duty, but mischievous and playful when off duty. She is said to be very pretty, with green hair and green eyes. Jenny Jump Jenny Jump is an important character in the four Oz books of John R. Neill. Jenny begins as a fifteen - year - old in New Jersey, who one day finds a leprechaun stealing her cheese. She is clever enough to capture him with her stare, so that the leprechaun, called Siko Pompus must grant her a wish. She wishes to become a fairy, and the leprechaun transforms her. In the midst of this psychedelia, however, Jenny 's gaze falters, and the leprechaun eludes her control, leaving her part - fairy and part - human. Still, Jenny has remarkable new abilities. With her fairy foot, she leaps all the way to the Land of Oz, to begin her adventures. Jenny is not a fan of the traditional, single - color fashions favored by the Ozites, and she sets up a shop with a magic turnstile that dresses people according to their personalities. Neill 's text of The Wonder City of Oz was rewritten by an anonymous editor at Reilly & Lee, and that editor added some controversial changes to the story, in particular, involving Jenny Jump. These additions include creatures who live in the Deadly Desert called Heelers, who live on votes. Jenny is goaded into running against Princess Ozma as ruler of Oz. It is not taken very seriously by the Ozites, and it is decided that shoes will be used for votes in an Ozelection. The Ozelection and all that leads up to it is not in the manuscript. Furthermore, near the end of the novel, the Wizard casts a spell to make her younger and more obedient, some would say lobotomized. Neill was not enamored of these changes and did not illustrate them, and Jenny seems to have gone back to her old self in the two sequels. Jenny is regularly accompanied by a Munchkin boy called Number Nine. She has him wear whistling breeches that alert her to his presence. In The Runaway in Oz, Jenny helps get the story started by quarrelling with Scraps the Patchwork Girl ; but once Scraps runs away, Jenny spends the rest of the book helping to look for her. As Jenny is a copyrighted character, she is not found in modern Oz expanded universe stories, save Oziana magazine. Jester The Jester is a servant of Princess Gayelette and Prince Quelala. In Dorothy of Oz, the Jester had gotten his hands on a wand of the Wicked Witch of the West and was possessed by her ghost. Under the Wicked Witch of the West 's possession, the Jester used the wand to turn Princess Gayelette, Prince Quelala, and their dinner guests into China Dolls. He even managed to do the same thing to Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion as well as abduct the China Princess from the Dainty China Country. When Dorothy and Toto arrived in Princess Gayelette 's kingdom, they run into the Jester who points them to Princess Gayelette 's castle. When Dorothy learns about the Jester 's actions, she returns to the main hall and found that the Jester had turned Toto into a China Doll as the Jester shows Dorothy his China Doll collection. Dorothy came up with an idea to bring Glinda the Good Witch to the Jester under the condition that Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion assists her. The Jester agrees to Dorothy 's deal, but Toto will remain with him. When the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion slipped into their China Doll disguises upon arrival outside of Princess Gayelette 's castle, Dorothy then meets up with the Jester who shows Dorothy his collection which is now on the outside. Dorothy takes the Jester to the red wagon where Dorothy has him open the crates where she claims that Glinda is in one of them claiming that Glinda turned herself, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion into china dolls. Dorothy then hears the voice of the Wicked Witch of the West 's ghost who suspects a trick and orders the Jester to turn Dorothy into a china doll quickly. As the Wicked Witch of the West 's ghost continues to warn the Jester of Dorothy 's trick, the Cowardly Lion 's tail came out of his disguise as the Jester prepares to attack. Dorothy reminds the Jester that jesters are supposed to make people happy causing the Jester to freeze in his tracks as the Wicked Witch of the West 's ghost urges the Jester to turn Dorothy into a china doll. The Jester gives up the wand as the Wicked Witch of the West 's ghost fades away. Thus, the spell is broken and everyone is returned to normal. Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Toto rejoice now that the spell is broken. When Dorothy asks Princess Gayelette and Prince Quelala if the Jester can stay and jest for them again as a way to prove that he is sorry, Princess Gayelette accepts Dorothy 's deals and has the Jester entertain them again. The Jester appears in Legends of Oz : Dorothy 's Return ( loosely based on the Dorothy of Oz book ) voiced by Martin Short.

When a giant earthquake occurs, Jim and the occupants of his carriage fall deep into the earth and into the Land of the Mangaboos. As they enter a fairy country, Jim gains the ability to speak. Throughout most of the book, Jim pulls the buggy that carries Dorothy, Zeb, and the Wizard of Oz. He is occasionally unhitched from his carriage when it is too cumbersome for the carriage to be pulled or when the travellers must rely on Jim 's powerful hooves to fight against creatures such as gargoyles. Upon arriving in Oz, he is regarded as an oddity because nobody has ever seen a flesh - and - blood horse ; the only horse they have seen is the Saw - horse. He is treated as an honoured guest in the Emerald City and becomes somewhat haughty, bragging that he was a fast racehorse in his youth. However, his pride is hurt after losing a race to the Saw - horse and frequently asks Zeb when they will be able to return to Hugson 's Ranch. His wish is granted at the end of the book, when Ozma uses the magic belt to return Zeb and Jim to California.

Johnny has a tool chest from which he can pull out nearly any equipment he needs. At Ozma 's birthday party, he builds an aircraft out of contents of the trunk, puts the trunk inside, and flies away as an entertainment while getting himself to the next place he is needed, as he loves to work and keep busy. In spite of Johnny 's brief appearance in the Oz series, appearing in no subsequent books, he was later used as a fairly important supporting character in Caliber Comics ' Oz, although Bill Bryan 's artwork made him appear much younger, and he lacked facial hair. He was frequently turned to for his engineering know - how. He is also the main character in Chris Dulabone 's Do It for Oz ! Kabumpo Main article : Kabumpo Kabumpo is an elephant who appears in several of the Ruth Plumly Thompson Oz books, including a titular role in Kabumpo in Oz. Kalidah `` Kalidah '' redirects here. It is not to be confused with Kalida. Illustration by W.W. Denslow in L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, 1900 The Kalidahs are a fictitious species of animal in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. They are mentioned and featured in the first half of the story when Dorothy Gale and her companions are traveling through the dark forest. A Kalidah is characterized as a ferocious monster having the head of a tiger and the body of a bear. Although two kalidahs are killed in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Baum had decided by The Magic of Oz that the inhabitants of Oz are immortal, so a kalidah, though pierced through the heart, survives. Other Kalidahs appear in The Magic of Oz, where they bother Trot and Cap'n Bill. In The Patchwork Girl of Oz, Dr. Pipt keeps Kalidahs struck with his Liquid of Petrefaction by the entrance to his house. The creatures play an important part in Eric Shanower 's `` Gugu and the Kalidahs. '' Phyllis Ann Karr 's short story `` The Guardian Dove, '' published in the 1990 issue of Oziana, provides a detailed treatment of Kalidah culture. The 1975 stage musical The Wiz includes a musical number `` Kalidah Battle, '' featuring the Kalidah Queen and two of her gang. In the film adaptation of The Wiz, the Kalidahs are two red paper lantern - alike marionettes controlled by the Subway Peddler, the Wicked Witch of the West 's henchman. During the attack in the New York City Subway, it 's shown that the Kalidahs are able to separate from their strings, become two meters high and chase anyone the Peddler wants. After the Wicked Witch of West is defeated, when her henchmen ( the Peddler included ) and her slaves turn into Winkies by tearing their costumes and burning them, the Kalidahs may be destroyed in the process. In The Muppets ' Wizard of Oz, the Kalidahs are portrayed by Statler and Waldorf. Kaliko Kaliko is a nome and lives in the Nome Kingdom, where he is, at least to start off with, the Chief Steward to his sadistic master, the Nome King Roquat the Red. Kaliko is first encountered in Ozma of Oz, though he is identified only as the Chief Steward. In the book, Dorothy 's pet hen Billina overheard an argument between Kaliko and Roquat, and learned the secret. She was able to set the prisoners free. In The Emerald City of Oz, Roquat the Red plans to attack the Emerald City in revenge for his humiliation ; we see Kaliko only very briefly. The character of Kaliko is in his prime in Tik - Tok of Oz. Kaliko become king after old Ruggedo ( whose name was changed from Roquat ) was expelled from his kingdom by the Great Jinjin Tititihoochoo for tipping some members of a Rescue Expedition from Oz down a Hollow Tube and straight into the Land of the Fairies, which is under the governorship of Tititihoochoo. Kaliko promises to become a good king and offers to assist in rescuing the Shaggy Man 's brother. Ruggedo returns to the Nome Kingdom, and Kaliko takes him in upon Ruggedo 's promise to be good. Kaliko has a brief role in Rinkitink in Oz, where he helps the cruel King Gos and Queen Cor hide the captive rulers of Pingaree from their `` wizard '' son Prince Inga and his friend Rinkitink of Gilgad. Kaliko is essentially a good - natured person still, but refuses to surrender the prisoners upon Inga 's arrival as he feels himself bound to his promise made to Gos and Cor. However, Dorothy and the Wizard arrive from Oz and force Kaliko to give up the prisoners. Kaliko makes some more appearances in the later Oz books of Ruth Plumly Thompson, where he appears to have changed from a `` good '' Nome into a cruel Nome who harbors plans to rule Oz for himself, and adds himself to the list of Princess Ozma 's enemies. He, like all other Nomes, is afraid of eggs ; and once he becomes king, he is a self - confessed `` powerful sorcerer.

Ku - Klip Ku - Klip is a character who is the originally unnamed tinsmith in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz who provided Nick Chopper with tin prostheses when the latter was cursed to dismember himself by the Wicked Witch of the East because of his love for the servant Nimmie Amee. In The Tin Woodman of Oz, we are introduced to a soldier named Captain Fyter, who met with the same fate due to his interest in Nimmie Amee, and Ku - Klip did the same for him. After the witch was destroyed by Dorothy Gale 's house, Ku - Klip entered the witch 's house and took some of her magical devices, including a magic glue. He had thrown Chopper and Fyter 's discarded body parts into a barrel, and decided to use this glue ( mislabeled `` Meat Glue '' in John R. Neill 's illustrations ) to assemble the parts from two men into a man called Chopfyt, but he finds he must substitute a tin arm as well. Nimmie Amee marries the assemblage and appears to be quite happy, but Princess Ozma takes the witch 's tools away from the smith so that he can not create any more unnatural beings.

He swims `` swiftly and gracefully '' over to them, astonishing them with his `` gorgeously colored plumage ''. In a brief conversation, the Duck explains why he is lonesome. Though he can not help free the two protagonists from their entrapment, he makes it slightly easier to bear, by conjuring large magic toadstools for them to sit on. Later, the rescue party searching for Trot and Cap'n Bill almost stumbles over the Lonesome Duck 's diamond palace, earning them a stern rebuke from its inhabitant. The text never specifies the Duck 's gender ; the creature is consistently referred to as `` it. '' Yet the general rule among birds is that the males are gaudier than the females. Mombi See # Wicked Witch of the North Mr. muffin Mr. Muffin is a muffin man from Bunbury that first appears in The Emerald City of Oz. Mr. Yoop Mr. Yoop is a giant from The Patchwork Girl of Oz. He is a 21 ft. giant with a ravenous appetite for meat people and an orange marmalade. Mr. Yoop ate cows and sheep and sometimes knocked over people 's houses which led to him being apprehended and imprisoned in a mountain cage. Since his imprisonment, he has only eatten six ants and a monkey. He threatens passers - by : `` They tell me meat is going up, but if I can manage to catch you, I 'm sure it will soon be going down. '' The book The Tin Woodman of Oz revealed that he is the estranged husband of Mrs. Yoop and has been abusive towards her. Mrs. Yoop Mrs. Yoop is a wicked giantess and sorceress in The Tin Woodman of Oz. When she meets the Tin Woodman and his companions, she changes them into animal forms. She transforms Polychrome into a canary, the Tin Woodman into a tin owl, the Scarecrow into a stuffed brown bear, and Woot the Wanderer into a green monkey. She is the estranged wife of the imprisoned Mr. Yoop from The Patchwork Girl of Oz, who has been imprisoned for eating people. Unlike him, Mrs. Yoop is not a cannibal ; she obtains food by means of her magical powers. The Green Monkey Spell proves irreversible and has to be transferred to somebody else. In this case Mrs. Yoop who becomes, and must now stay, a green monkey. She is a Yookoohoo, a special kind of witch, `` an Artist of Transformations '' whose enchantments are extremely powerful. The other Yookoohoo in the Oz books is Red Reera in Glinda of Oz. Both Yookoohoos are specialists in magical transformations and are solitary, anti-social, and fiercely independent. The Tin Woodman of Oz is a rarity in Baum 's Oz canon, in that the author 's manuscript of the book exists, and reveals the changes that Baum made for the printed version. Baum revised his original to make Mrs. Yoop more sinister ; and he originally called Mrs. Yoop a `` Whisp '' ( an otherwise unknown term in the universe of Oz ) rather than a Yookoohoo. Munchkins Main article : Munchkin The Munchkins are a race of little people who wear blue and inhabit the Munchkin Country of Oz. Nimmie Amee Nimmie Amee is the Munchkin maiden whom the Tin Woodman once loved in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. She was not named until The Tin Woodman of Oz, as Nick Chopper never went to find her after the Wizard gave him a `` kind '' but not a `` loving '' heart, until that novel 's protagonist, Woot the Wanderer, encouraged him to do so. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Tin Woodman tells Dorothy Gale and the Scarecrow that the lady was a servant for an old woman who did not wish her to marry, and so sought the aid of the Wicked Witch of the East to place a spell on him that caused him to cut himself up with his axe while carrying on his livelihood. In The Tin Woodman of Oz, this was retconned, and in Nick 's new telling, she was directly enslaved by the Witch herself. Nimmie Amee was aware of the spell, which occurred gradually, and was not bothered by his condition and still wished to marry him, but he lost interest when he lost his heart ( In Wizard, he lost his heart after his head ; in Tin Woodman, he lost his head last and the Witch ran around with it in her arms ). Soon a soldier named Captain Fyter also wooed the lady, and the Witch dealt him the same blow, and he sought help from the same tinsmith, Ku - Klip. Fyter 's head and parts of Nick and his body were incorporated into Chopfyt, a new person, through the use of magic glue found in the Witch 's house. Ku - Klip was unable to find one arm, so he fashioned one out of tin. In this way, Chopfyt reminded her of both the men she loved, and she married him, and Baum presented them as a happy couple at the end of the novel, although Princess Ozma forbade Ku - Klip from ever doing such a thing again. This character is totally absent in the 1939 musical film.

She was filled with a mixture of character traits. Originally intended to be an unquestioning humble slave, she comes to life as a rather zany acrobatic person with a tendency to break into spontaneous poetry, all thanks to Ojo the Unlucky messing with the formula for her `` brain furniture '' and joining the adventure to find an antidote for petrification. In later books, she is often paired with the Scarecrow, being his main love interest. Phonograph The Phonograph ( also referred to as The Troublesome Phonograph ) is a character who appeared in The Patchwork Girl of Oz. It originally belonged to Dr. Pipt, until it was inadvertently brought to life when it was accidentally sprinkled with the Powder of Life. The Phonograph has a large gold - colored horn, and is screwed to a tall, four - legged table, which it uses for movement. Once alive, it continued to bother the magician by playing loud and offensive `` classical '' music, until it was at last forced from his home. It then tried to endear itself to the young Munchkin boy, Ojo, and his friends in much the same way, ( first with classical, then jazz ), but was finally scared off by the Shaggy Man, who threatened to `` scatter its pieces across the country, as a matter of kindness to the people of Oz. '' The Phonograph has never been seen since. The Phonograph 's name is Victor Columbia Edison, but was dubbed Vic for short, by the Patchwork Girl.

The cabinet itself is held within a walk - in closet in the boudoir of Langwidere 's palace. Each head is said to be extremely beautiful, consisting of different bone structures that represents different ethnicities and are kept in their own separate cases lined with mirrors that Langwidere keeps locked with a ruby key she wears around her left wrist. Instead of changing her clothing like most princesses, she simply changes her heads to match her current state of mood whenever she pleases.

There a bucket of enchanted water is dumped upon her, and she becomes a vain, diamond - eyed swan with no memory of her magical abilities. Her sudden transformation leaves her domed city stranded beneath the waters of the lake, as only she knew the spell. The Krumbic witchcraft proves to be a hybrid of dark arts mixed with magic learned from the Three Adepts at Magic who used to rule the Flatheads, while the three magic spells to operating the city are identified as the parts of her name. Queen Lurline Main article : Queen Lurline Queen Lurline is a fairy queen who is mentioned in the Oz backstory as originally enchanting the country.

It is bigger than a hundred men and feeds on any living thing. Like most other animals in the land of Oz, the Rak can speak.

After stealing the Magic Dishpan from Cayke, he used it to steal Glinda 's Magic Book of Records, the Wizard 's Black Bag of Magic and, ultimately, he kidnapped Princess Ozma in the process and hid her in the form of an Enchanted Peach Pit. He was finally defeated by Dorothy Gale, who used the Nome King 's Magic Belt to transform him into a dove. Realizing how much damage he had done, he only asked to remain a peaceful dove and apologize to Dorothy. Unc Nunkie Unc Nunkie is a character from the fictional Oz book series by L. Frank Baum. He first appeared in The Patchwork Girl of Oz. Unc Nunkie is an elderly Munchkin who lived with his nephew, Ojo the Lucky, in the forests in Munchkin Country. Unc Nunkie was known for speaking primarily in one - word, monosyllabic sentences, though he very occasionally made a `` long '' speech using two words. Locals attributed his laconic nature to concealment of royal blood. Unc Nunkie was accidentally turned to stone by Dr. Pipt 's Liquid of Petrification, resulting in his nephew Ojo going on a quest to find the ingredients needed for the antidote. Ruth Plumly Thompson explored the `` royal blood '' thread in Ojo in Oz. In Jack Pumpkinhead of Oz, he was the first person captured in Mogodore 's invasion when he attempted to warn the others of his arrival. Wicked Witch of the East Main article : Wicked Witch of the East The Wicked Witch of the East is a character who is crushed by Dorothy 's house in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ). Prior to this, she ruled over the Munchkins and had possession of the magical Silver Shoes ( Ruby Slippers in the 1939 musical ) that made it possible for her to conquer the Munchkin Country in the undiscovered Land of Oz. She appears in the book Wicked under the name Nessarose by Gregory Maguire. She also appears in the Walt Disney 's live action film Oz the Great and Powerful, played by Rachel Weisz, who is named Evanora. Wicked Witch of the North Main article : Mombi Mombi is a Wicked Witch of the North who is one of the series ' major antagonists. She first appears The Marvelous Land of Oz, when Tip escapes her power. It is revealed that she helped install the Wizard as ruler of Oz. She makes several more appearances in the Oz books before she, in a similar fate to her predecessor, the Wicked Witch of the West, is melted in `` The Lost King of Oz. '' Mombi appears in the movie Return to Oz ( where she was depicted with the traits of Princess Langwidere ) and in later books of the Wicked series. She also appears in the animated film Journey Back to Oz where she is effectively voiced by Ethel Merman. Wicked Witch of the South The Wicked Witch of the South is the previous ruler of the Quadling Country until the period when Ozma 's grandfather was king of Oz, when Glinda overthrew her. Wicked Witch of the West Main article : Wicked Witch of the West The Wicked Witch of the West originated as the primary villain and main antagonist of L. Frank Baum 's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book, in which she is given no name. She is described as being completely blind in one eye, and there is no mention of her having green skin. She rules the western quadrant called Winkie Country in the Land of Oz and enslaved many of the natives. She also owns a pack of killer wolves, black crows and stinging bees. When Dorothy Gale and company are sent by the Wizard to defeat her, she sends her collection of deadly pets to kill them but is unsuccessful. She then uses the Golden Cap to call upon the Winged Monkeys who destroy the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, but capture Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion. She imprisons them in her castle before Dorothy melts her with a bucket of water when the Wicked Witch tried to steal one of her Silver Shoes. After her death in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Wicked Witch of the West is rarely referred to again in the later Oz books. The Wicked Witch of the West 's most famous counterpart is played by Margaret Hamilton in the 1939 MGM musical film The Wizard of Oz. Though no name is given her in her witch guise, that actress also played the Witch 's Kansan counterpart, Miss Almira Gulch. Her goal is to get her sister 's ruby slippers from Dorothy who had been given them by Glinda. Her reasoning is that the slippers will make her the most powerful person in Oz ; but we never learn why. She is known as Evillene in the 1975 Broadway musical The Wiz originated by Mabel King, and reprised in the 1978 film adaptation of the same name. Of all stage, film and animated productions of the Oz story, The Wiz follows Baum 's book the most closely, and therefore she has no green skin. Under the name Elphaba, she is the protagonist of the Gregory Maguire novel and Winnie Holzman / Stephen Schwartz 2003 musical Wicked, and is born green due to an elixir given by her father ( the Wizard of Oz ) to her mother ( the wife of the governor of Munchkinland ) during their adulterous affair. Discovering that she has real powers, the Wizard of Oz orders her arrest when she refuses to aid him in his terroristic control of Oz, and she is declared a wicked witch by the Wizard 's press secretary, Madame Morrible. Believing that the governor of Munchkinland is her real father, she is devastated when Glinda gives Dorothy the slippers of her sister Nessarose which had been given her by the governor and which she herself had cast a spell on to enable the disabled Nessarose to walk. Desperate to get these precious family heirlooms back from Dorothy, they confront one another at the castle of Prince Fiyero, Elphaba 's love interest, but is doused by the girl with a bucket of water. This kills her in the Maguire novel. It merely burns her in the musical -- and she uses her feigned death as a way to escape with Fiyero, whom she had turned into the Scarecrow to prevent him from being tortured by the Wizard 's soldiers. In the 2013 motion picture Oz the Great and Powerful, her name is Theodora and she is played by Mila Kunis. She becomes a green wicked witch after being tricked into eating a magic apple that was offered by her sister, Evanora. In this adaptation, she is in love with the Wizard. His feelings are not mutual and she declares war against him. Wise Donkey The Wise Donkey The Wise Donkey is a character from A New Wonderland ( The Magical Monarch of Mo ) ( 1899 / 1903 ) and The Patchwork Girl of Oz ( 1913 ). He began life as an ordinary donkey in Phunniland ( Mo, a land even stranger and less logical than Oz ), but after consuming numerous books, he learned their contents and became a wise advisor to the King. He sometimes acts in his own interests, at least to the extent of making sure his are met when he aids others, such as suggesting an apple for rescuing Nuphsed, which does n't work, but when he is fed the apple, he gives an answer that does. Somehow he was able to cross the Deadly Desert that surrounds Oz, and he took up residence with the Foolish Owl. He says he was visiting on the day Oz was cut off from the rest of the world, and was unable to return home. He is seen dusting his house when he is visited by Ojo, Scraps, and Bungle. He believes that someone as wise as he is should find the Foolish Owl unique and amusing. His logic is regarded by Scraps as so askew that she tells Diksey Horner that he sounds like the Wise Donkey. Wiser the Owl Wiser the Owl is an owl who has an unlucky attraction to molasses. In Dorothy of Oz, Dorothy and Toto encounter Wiser who mentioned that he got his name because he gets wiser every day. When Dorothy tells Wiser that she is here looking for Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Glinda, Wiser tells Dorothy that she is in Gillikin Country and tells her to head to Candy Country and ask the Great Royal Marshmallow that rules over Candy Country. Wiser points Dorothy in the direction of the Candy Country and leaves while warning her to `` watch out for the molasses. '' Unfortunately, Toto does n't heed the warning. While traveling to Glinda 's castle, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and China Princess run into Wiser as Dorothy tells him of her next mission involving going to Quadling County to meet with Glinda. Wiser tells Dorothy to build a boat and drive it down the Munchkin River. Wiser tells Dorothy that the wood for the boat must come from the Talking Trees that grow along the banks of the Munchkin River. Before Dorothy 's confrontation with the Jester, Dorothy ends up encountering Wiser again. He asks if she has found Glinda. Dorothy then asks Wiser to help the Cowardly Lion with a crate and get him into his life - size china doll. After the Cowardly Lion is in his china doll disguise, Dorothy tells Wiser to find Tugg and tell him of their progress. After the Jester is freed from the possession of the Wicked Witch of the West 's wand, Wiser appears at the river banks near Princess Gayelette 's castle with Tugg and the dragons that Dorothy encountered along the way. Wiser the Owl appears in Legends of Oz : Dorothy 's Return ( based on the Dorothy of Oz book ) voiced by Oliver Platt. Wizard of Oz Main article : Wizard of Oz ( character ) The Wizard of Oz is the title character of the first book. In that book, the characters journey to him for assistance with their problems. It is later revealed that he is a humbug circus performer named Oscar Diggs from Omaha, Nebraska ; and that he had usurped Ozma 's throne with the assistance of Mombi ( though this was later proven false ). The Wizard later returns to Oz in the fourth book and later learns real magic from Glinda. His Kansan counterpart in the 1939 musical film is the travelling magician / fortune teller, Professor Marvel. Woozy The Woozy, Ojo, Scraps, and Bungle from the 1913 Oz book. Note that the Woozy is depicted as being brown in color with ears, despite it being described as dark blue and earless in the text. The Woozy is a four - legged fictional creature from the pages of The Patchwork Girl of Oz. It is described as being dark blue in color and made up of all squares, flat surfaces and edges. Its head is an exact cube and its body is in the shape of a box twice as long as it is wide and high. All four of the Woozy 's legs are four - sided, as is its stubby tail. The Woozy hears via two openings in the upper corners of its head, has a flat nose and a mouth formed by an opening on lower edge of its head. When the Woozy gets angry, it has the ability to flash fire with its eyes. The Woozy lives in the Munchkin country in Oz and survives primarily on a diet of honey bees. The Munchkin farmers who raise the honey bees nearby drive the Woozy into the forest and confine it with a fence. Since the Woozy can not climb, he can not escape his prison ( The Woozy does mention in the text that he can jump very high, but also mentions that he has a ferocious roar, which turns out to be completely untrue ). The creature is entirely hairless except for three stiff, stubby hairs on the end of its tail. Those three hairs were one of five required ingredients for the antidote to the Liquid of Petrification that Ojo, Scraps the Patchwork Girl, and Bungle set out to retrieve in the story. In return for some scraps of bread and cheese that Ojo feeds him, the Woozy agrees to give his hairs to the party. When it becomes clear that the hairs can not be removed from his tail, Ojo frees the Woozy and allows the creature to accompany the group. Zeb Hugson Zebediah Hugson is a boy who is a distant cousin of Dorothy Gale, apparently related through Dorothy 's Aunt Em. He works for his uncle, Bill Hugson, at Hugson 's Ranch in California, where he also lives. Zeb appears in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz ( 1908 ). Zeb first meets Dorothy at Hugson 's Siding, when he picks her up in a carriage pulled by Jim the Cab - horse. On their way to the Hugson 's Ranch, an earthquake causes everyone to fall into the earth and into the Land of the Mangaboos. Zeb, Dorothy, Jim, and Dorothy 's kitten Eureka are soon joined by Oscar Diggs aka the Wizard of Oz. The travelers undertake a subterranean journey through the Valley of Voe, are briefly imprisoned in the Land of Naught, and encounter a cavern full of Dragonettes. Despite his reservations about being in a strange land, Zeb courageously defends his friends and helps them escape from the Land of Gargoyles by obtaining pairs of gargoyle wings. After Ozma uses the Magic Belt to bring them to the Land of Oz, Zeb is welcomed as an honoured guest in the Emerald City. During the festivities held to celebrate the arrival of Dorothy and her friends, Zeb participates in a wrestling match with a Munchkin boy, which he loses, and then a boxing match, which Zeb wins. He later serves as one of the nine members of the jury during the trial of Eureka. While the Wizard accepts Ozma 's invitation to remain in Oz, Dorothy, Zeb, and their animals decide to return home. Though Zeb remarks that Oz is a nice country, he admits that he and Jim feel out of place in a fairy country and wishes to return to Hugson 's Ranch with Jim. Zeb 's last evening in Oz is described as being so wonderful, he never forgot it as long as he lived. In the Oz Kids, he somehow came back to Oz and married Dorothy. The both of them had two children named Dot and Neddie Hugson. References Jack Snow, Who 's Who in Oz, Chicago, Reilly & Lee, 1954 ; New York, Peter Bedrick Books, 1988.
