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:
“What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
And all alone comes riding there
The King that could make his people stare,
Because he had feathers instead of hair.
A slow low note and an iron bell.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
