"The monkeys caught Dorothy in their arms and flew away with her"—illustration by [W. W. Denslow](/source/W._W._Denslow) in  *[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz](/source/The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz)* (1900)

**Winged monkeys** are fictional characters that first appeared in the 1900 children's novel *[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz](/source/The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz)*, written by the American author [L. Frank Baum](/source/L._Frank_Baum). They are described as jungle [monkeys](/source/Monkeys) with bird-like feathered wings. They are playful, intelligent, and speak English. They are initially under the control of the [Wicked Witch of the West](/source/Wicked_Witch_of_the_West), but are later controlled by the protagonist, [Dorothy Gale](/source/Dorothy_Gale). They lift Dorothy and fly her to two distant locations.

The Winged Monkeys next appeared in the 1939 [musical film](/source/Musical_film) adaption of the novel, [*The Wizard of Oz*](/source/The_Wizard_of_Oz_(1939_film)). In the film they have a much smaller role than in the book, and do not speak (or at least were never given any dialogue), but it was their first appearance in an Oz-based film. After 1939, similar characters have appeared in numerous books, films, computer games and other popular media.

The now widely used but inaccurate term **flying monkey** has been adopted in [psychology](/source/Psychology), referring to someone who performs [enabling](/source/Enabling) work on behalf of an [abusive](/source/Abusive) person. It does not really fit with the depiction in the book, where the avian simians are under the magic spell of the Golden Cap, and must obey its wearer.

## Wizard of Oz

### *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* book (1900)

This section describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective. (January 2023) (Learn how and when to remove this message)

The Winged Monkeys started as free creatures living in the jungles of the fictional [Land of Oz](/source/Land_of_Oz) from the children's fiction novel [The Wonderful Wizard of Oz](/source/The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz). They were a rather carefree but mischievous bunch, until their king, as a prank, tossed [Quelala,](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quelala,&action=edit&redlink=1) a richly dressed human friend of theirs into a deep river, ruining his velvet costume. His fiancée, a princess named [Gayelette](/source/Gayelette), was furious since this was their wedding day. She had ruled part of Oz's northern quadrant, [Gillikin Country](/source/Gillikin_Country), and was a sorceress. As punishment for the prank, she enslaved them and made them obey the Golden Cap. Any wearer of the cap could make three demands of the monkeys. Later, this cap fell into the hands of the [Wicked Witch of the West](/source/Wicked_Witch_of_the_West), who used it to make the Monkeys help her in conquering Oz's western quadrant (the [Winkie Country](/source/Winkie_Country)), enslave the native [Winkies](/source/Winkie_Country), and drive the [Wizard of Oz](/source/Wizard_of_Oz_(character)) out of her territory when he attempted to overthrow her.

After the fictional character [Dorothy Gale](/source/Dorothy_Gale) melted the Wicked Witch, she put on the cap, unaware of its power. When she learns its power, she uses it to influence the Winged Monkeys to transport her and her companions to the [Emerald City](/source/Emerald_City), during which journey the [Monkey King](/source/Monkey_King) tells Dorothy the story of how they were enslaved by Gayelette. Then Dorothy asked them to carry her back to [Kansas](/source/Kansas), but the Winged Monkeys could not leave the magical realm of Oz; thus the second request was wasted. Dorothy's third and final request was for them to carry her and her company over the rocky mountains inhabited by the Hammer-Heads, who would not let them pass over their turf.

Dorothy ends up handing the Golden Cap over to the character [Glinda](/source/Glinda), the beautiful Good Witch of the South. Glinda then ordered the winged monkeys to carry Dorothy's companions back to their new homes in Oz after Dorothy's departure, and then to simply cease to bother people and not play pranks on them anymore. She then gave the Winged Monkeys the cap as their own, breaking the curse and setting them free.

### *The Wizard of Oz* film (1939)

In the 1939 film *[The Wizard of Oz](/source/The_Wizard_of_Oz)*, the Monkeys are intelligent enough to obey commands, but do not speak as they do in the book. They abduct Dorothy and her dog Toto and dismantle the Scarecrow, but do nothing to the Tin Man or the Cowardly Lion, leaving them free to put the Scarecrow back together and rescue Dorothy. There is no mention of any three wishes in the film, suggesting that the Monkeys serve the witch out of fear, although the Golden Cap is seen briefly. The analogue to the Monkey King, one Nikko, whose wings have been clipped, is played by dwarf performer [Pat Walshe](/source/Pat_Walshe). He is seen in several sequences, including when he is ordered by the Witch to throw Toto in a river; an order that Dorothy prevents him from carrying out. Nikko is also shown with the Witch as she angrily throws down the hour glass after the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion rescue Dorothy, and once more after the Witch has melted. His name is shown only in the credits, as "Nikko" is never spoken on screen.

There is only a glimpse of the Golden Cap in the film: when Dorothy and the Lion awake after Glinda breaks the spell on the poppies conjured by the Witch, she is seen watching them in anger in her crystal ball. Nikko hands her the Golden Cap and she utters the "somebody always helps that girl" line, before throwing the cap across the room angrily. The reason for this brief appearance comes from a scene deleted from the final film. In the script, after the Witch conjures up the poppies that put Dorothy, Toto, and the Lion to sleep, she orders Nikko to fetch the Golden Cap so she can summon the winged monkeys and they can take the Ruby Slippers from the sleeping girl. However, she never gets a chance as the spell is broken before she can. In the film, the cap looks almost identical to the original artwork by W. W. Denslow in the book.

The musical number "The Jitterbug" dealt with a magic insect sent by the Witch to weaken the invaders before the Monkeys arrived to catch them. The visual footage is lost, but the soundtrack survives, and the song is often incorporated into stage productions based on the movie, with extra activity for the Monkeys to perform.

## Appearances in later media

- A particularly clumsy and incompetent band of Winged Monkeys serves a resuscitated [Wicked Witch of the West](/source/Wicked_Witch_of_the_West) in the 1964 animated television special *[Return to Oz](/source/Return_to_Oz_(TV_special))*.

- In *[The Wiz](/source/The_Wiz_(film))*, the African-American rock adaptation of *The Wizard of Oz*, the Flying Monkeys are a motorcycle gang, whose leader is named Cheetah, after the [Tarzan](/source/Tarzan) [character](/source/Cheeta). They lack natural wings, but are bonded to their motorcycles, which bear metallic wings. After being returned to their normal forms, the Monkeys carry Dorothy and her friends back to the Emerald City.

- The Winged Monkeys appear in *[The Wizard of Oz](/source/The_Wizard_of_Oz_(TV_series))* (1990), with one of them named Truckle (voiced by [Pat Fraley](/source/Pat_Fraley)) serving as the Wicked Witch of the West's chief sidekick.

In these novels, most of the flying monkeys cannot speak, but Elphaba's favorite (named Chistery), has a distinctive speech pattern characterized by the repetition of similar-sounding words. This speech pattern becomes less pronounced in *[A Lion Among Men](/source/A_Lion_Among_Men)* and *[Out of Oz](/source/Out_of_Oz)*, the third and fourth volumes in Maguire's "[The Wicked Years](/source/The_Wicked_Years)" series.

## In psychology

The term *flying monkey* has been used in popular [psychology](/source/Psychology) to refer to [enablers](/source/Enabler) of an abusive person, such as a [narcissist](/source/Narcissistic_personality_disorder) or a [sociopath](/source/Sociopath). It particularly indicates someone who does work on the behalf of the abuser, as the Winged monkeys do for the witch in the original book.[4]

The abuser will typically use family, friends, or coworkers who are loyal and/or subservient to them as flying monkeys to subvert or attack their intended targets. The flying monkey may act as a courier of information between parties, or as someone who pleads the case on behalf of the abuser. The flying monkeys themselves might buy into the abuser's false personality, might be too afraid of the abuser to stand up to them, or may themselves suffer from a mental disorder that the abuser exploits, such as having narcissistic or sociopathic tendencies themselves.[5]
