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.
