The Nome King (first referred to as Roquat, and later Ruggedo) is the ruler of an underground kingdom of miner-soldiers. He appears in Ozma of Oz and several later books. His evil plans usually involve kidnapping the rulers of Oz or some other kingdom. Even after he is deposed in "Tik-Tok of Oz", he continues to make trouble for the inhabitants of Oz. After a number of attempts on Oz's peace and happiness, he meets his final canonical fate in "Handy Mandy in Oz". Further adventures of this foe have appeared only in fan-fiction.

Famous quotes containing the word king:
“I am as unfit for any practical purpose—I mean for the furtherance of the world’s ends—as gossamer for ship-timber; and I, who am going to be a pencil-maker to-morrow, can sympathize with God Apollo, who served King Admetus for a while on earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
