In ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ the flying monkeys were creatures under the control of the Wicked Witch of the West. They were initially a free and happy group, living in the land of Oz. However, the Wicked Witch used a magical golden cap to summon and command them. When she wore the cap and chanted a spell, the flying monkeys were forced to obey her orders. They were used to carry out her evil deeds, such as capturing Dorothy and her friends. The monkeys were described as having the bodies of monkeys with large, powerful wings, allowing them to fly. Their role in the story added an element of danger and suspense, as they were a formidable force against Dorothy and her companions. Eventually, when Dorothy melted the Wicked Witch, the flying monkeys were freed from her control and no longer had to do her bidding.
