About Flying Monkey
Flying Monkeys, also known as Winged Monkeys, are characters from The Wizard of Oz. They became popular for their portrayal at the 1939 adaptation of The Wizard of Oz film.
The monkeys were originally free creaturues but also often mischievous. They lost their freedom when they pranked the soon-to-be husband of Princess Gayelette, and threw him in the water which ruined his garb for his wedding day. The Princess enslaved them under the rule of the Golden Cap, whose bearer the monkeys have to obey. This cap came to be possessed by the Wicked Witch of the West who used the monkeys for her schemes. Eventually, Dorothy would hold the Golden Cap and set the monkeys to do good.
