Chapter 1 | Roleplaying In Oz
Chapter 1
How to Use This Book
Y
ou are embarking on a wondrous journey with the
beasts and beings of Oz and greater Nonestica! This
book was written primarily as a reference guide for
game masters (GMs) and players interested in 5th
Edition tabletop roleplaying game (RPG) adventures.
Additionally, fans of Oz who do not play RPGs may find
this a useful resource in their fannish pursuits, whether for sparking
imagination in casual reading or as inspiration in the creation of
their own stories or creative works in Oz.
Using Beasts and Beings in RPGs

We envision GMs using this book primarily as an encyclopedic
collection of beasts and non-player characters (NPCs) to populate
their original homebrew 5e adventures, whether set in Oz or not.
5e Adventures in Oz is meant to be used in conjunction with the
core 5th Edition sourcebooks to allow you to bring your adventure
to the wonderful world of Oz or to incorporate elements of Oz or its
unique creatures and characters into your current campaign setting.
Although we have included new playable races and player classes
and dozens of new creatures and NPCs, we have not altered the core
5e rules. Our goal was to make this an easy plug-and-play experience
to maximize the fun and adventure and minimize learning new rules.

Chapter 2 | BESTIARY: THE ODDITIES OF OZ
Chapter 2
Bestiary: The Oddities of Oz
L
Frank Baum let loose his imagination when developing
a fairy tale universe for all his stories, populating Oz
and the surrounding lands with fantastic beasts and
peoples. Some of his creatures were inspired by real-
world creatures, while others were bizarre concoctions
and flights of fancy. While jackdaws, field mice, and fairy
beavers resemble their Earth counterparts, the fuddles,
bloozkins, and orks are purely fanciful.
In rounding out the lands of Oz and greater Nonestica, we took a
cue from Baum’s inventiveness and developed entire species out of
single beasts from his books. Our designers created variants of some
creatures, and conjured monster lairs for players to explore. We also
created a few original creatures in the flavor of Baum’s stories, to
add depth to the world as well as to insert dangerous creatures to
challenge even the most experienced tabletop roleplayer.

“bumps all over him,” as Trot afterward declared.
There were bumps on his head, bumps on his body
and bumps on his arms and legs and hands. Even
his fingers had bumps on the ends of them. For
dress he wore an old gray suit of fantastic design,
which fitted him very badly because of the bumps
it covered but could not conceal.
L. Frank Baum, The Scarecrow of Oz
As the erbs were attacking all the mortal
creatures in Nonestica, many retreated under
the earth for protection. Among them, the
bravest were those who formed a rear guard to
protect the innocents from erb assaults. The
fairy courts transformed these brave warriors
into bumpyfolk. Unlike many other races, the
bumpyfolk do not congregate in cities or towns.
Instead they settle in smaller family units of
various compositions within their chosen
mountain territory.
Bumpyfolk are hairless humanoids, covered
with splotchy light and dark green skin with
thick, rugged bumps. The bumps are made
of tin gravel, which give their skin a toad-like
appearance. They wear rudimentary clothing
of animal hides, and prefer to go barefoot.

Constructs
Constructs are creatures who are made,
not born. In Oz, constructs fall into
three general types: humanoid, Ozian,
and clockwork.
Humanoid Constructs
Humanoid constructs are artificially created,
not born. They are touched by divine or fairy
magic, and sustained by Oz itself. They cannot
reproduce on their own, and so either have
finite numbers or require new construction
from their elemental source and the
Powder of Life. Unlike golems or other
constructs that are programmed by
their creators to follow a basic set of
instructions, humanoid constructs
are imbued with sentience and
independent thought.
Humanoid Construct
Ozian Constructs
Ozian constructs may be created from any
inanimate object by using the Powder of Life.
The Ozian construct then comes to life, fully
sentient and with whatever movement its
current form can afford. These previously
inanimate objects have no memory of their time
before the Powder of Life was applied, and are as
vulnerable (or invulnerable) to damage as their
individual components.
24
Clockwork Constructs
Clockwork constructs are mechanical
inorganic creatures of springs, gears, and
pistons, designed from start to finish by their
creators to be sentient and mobile beings. They
generally require some form of regular winding
or refueling to retain their ability to sense
their environment and speak or move
about. However, some rare clockwork
constructs have been granted
perpetual movement by the
application of the Powder of Life.

Cloud fairies are some of the smallest of their
kind, living among the clouds, impossible to see
from the ground.
Cloud fairies are approximately one foot tall,
winged, and quick of foot and flight. Their eyes
range from sky blue to a dark, cloudy gray, and
all glitter silver when angered. Their hair can
be various shades of white and gray, often kept
short to avoid becoming an annoyance while
flying. Their wings are diaphonous, appearing
frail but deeply bendable and tough enough to
stand up to even the strongest winds. Though
their physical strength matches their size,
cloud fairies are able to affect the
world on a large scale with their
powerful magics.

L. Frank Baum, Tik-Tok of Oz
The rarest and perhaps the strangest of the
fairies found on Nonestica come from outside
of Oz beyond the desert, in a small country
bordering Ev known as the Rose Kingdom or
Roseland. Roseland’s construction consists of
a single great greenhouse, with windows that
glitter in the light. Inside are the birthing pots
filled with magic soil, housing the sprouts of the
lushly growing royal family and its retainers, as
well as the human attendant known only as the
Royal Gardener.
The rosians of Roseland are, as their
name suggests, living fairy roses.

The royal family are conspicuous, as

their petals are the deepest shades of
velvet red and purple, while courtiers
have petals in various shades of white,
yellow, peach, pink, and more. The
current king has the widest petals of any
of his family, with deeply scented petals
carrying a rich aroma. Mature rosians wear
garments woven of leaves and petals, soft and
flowing, their feet clad in tough, curling leaves.
Like all fey, they are oddly beautiful to look
upon, with voices that are sweet and beguiling.
The laws of the kingdom (carried around by
the Chief Gardener) are strict—breaking the
glass that shelters the royal family carries a
death sentence. Strangers are likewise denied
entrance to the kingdom,
and trespassers may face
an immediate and piercing
death. Young offshoots are
regularly nourished with the
blood of a bold trespasser.
When rosians leave the borders
of the kingdom, they immediately
become mortal, and cannot
become fairies again. Whether this
is from an enchantment on the great
greenhouse or a long-lost curse, the end
result is that rosians remain insular and
hostile toward strangers. When there
is no king and no ripe male rose in the
royal family, the Gardener maintains
the kingdom and the greenhouse until
the next generation becomes ripe for
the plucking.

Sleep Fairy
And beside her was the King of
the Sleep Fays, who carried a wand
from the end of which a fine dust fell
all around, so that no mortal could
keep awake long enough to see him, as
mortal eyes were sure to close in sleep as soon
as the dust filled them.
L. Frank Baum, The Life and Adventures

The sleep fey are among the most colorful of
the fairies, resembling tiny humanoids dressed
in their favorite flowers as they flit about on
gossamer wings. Whether resembling violet or
lily or (for a few troublemakers) poppies, they
are found in any shades, colors, and genders
that match their preferred blooms. Their
main defense is the ability to send out large
puffs of pollen that can send any trespassing
creature to sleep. Some enterprising farmers
have been known to trade or bribe the
sleep fairies for packets of their dust, as
it is a surprisingly effective deterrent for

Fighting Trees
The Scarecrow, who was in the lead,
finally discovered a big tree with such wide
spreading-branches that there was room for
the party to pass underneath. So he walked
forward to the tree, but just as he came
under the first branches they bent down
and twined around him, and the next
minute he was raised from the ground
and flung headlong among his fellow
travellers.
L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful

Flamengoes are six-foot tall birds with

make their home in the briny wetlands of
the south, though they are sometimes seen
in other sloughs of similar climate. They are
quite intelligent and have been known to
speak mockingly in rhymes when
conversing with other creatures.
They eat brine shrimp, crayfish,
and other still water delicacies,
and ferment the bodies in their
bellies. When the methane builds
up, they can produce flame by belching the
methane and igniting it with the flint stones in

have violet eyes and sallow, pale skin. They are
humanoid, with the peculiar feature that their
heads are nearly as flat as saucers. The rest of
their faces have human features, and are
in fact quite ordinary.
When not mining or crafting, the men
tend to travel armed with bows and
arrows or simple blades or axes. They
wear no hats or jewelry, never hiding
their distinctive heads.
Each flathead has a pouch, backpack,
or bandolier with canisters containing
their own brains. Occasionally however,
a flathead will lose track of their brain,
and the Supreme Dictator (or Su Dic),
the elected ruler of the flatheads, will
collect extra brains to increase their
intelligence. Flatheads who possess at
least three brains for at least a year may
gain the capacity for limited magic. An
average flathead has no magical ability,
and prefers manual labor to sorcery.

He was quite short and stout and had a big

Tartary Giant
And there were the three-eyed
Giants of Tartary, a host in themselves, who
liked nothing better than to fight.
The giants of Tartary are hulking brutes with
red eyes, two in their customary place and a
third eye in the center of their foreheads. Their
thick hide-like skin comes in all gray, enabling
them to blend in with the mountain regions
they call home. Their hair tends to be red and
scissored off into odd hairstyles, and it is said
that no two tartary giants have the same cut
of hair. They have three large toes, and three
fingers, including thumbs, on their hands.
Tartary giants wear the skins, bones, shells, and
teeth of creatures they have caught unaware and
strangled both as protection and adornment.
The giants often compete with awgwas for
convenient rocky lairs on mountaintops or
other hilly locations. If the awgwas win, they eat
for weeks. If the giants win, they will harvest a
new pelt for clothing. On rare occasions,
the two adversarial species will unite
against an unwelcome intruder.

making their homes beneath the surface of the
eastern reaches of Oz, particularly Munchkin
Country. They are made entirely of brown mud
and roots, and resemble plant-like elemental
creatures with hair of sprouting twigs. Their
hands and feet are more akin to twisted, vibrant
roots. They can sink deep into the ground and
resurface elsewhere, accompanied by a distinct
grinding sound. Their faces can shift in aspect,

mouths changing shape as they talk.

The skeezers are a human tribe who live in a

remote corner of the Gillikin Country. They
have as wide a variety of physical descriptions
as any somewhat inbred group may have, with
similar facial structures and genetics that lend
them to having dark hair and eyes. Some wear
yellow garments and dye their hair golden,
while others follow the general predilection
of Gillikins to embrace the color of their flag,
sporting dark purple and silver. They favor
clothes with pockets, and many carry around
the tools of their trade in belts.
Skeezers embrace invention and gadgetry
more than magic, relying on nomes to provide
the sturdy metals that they use to craft powerful
vehicles and maintain their submersible city.
Inventors and tinkers are lauded in their small
society, and each new invention brings with it
a festival to celebrate—and to gloat about their
creativity to their regional rivals, the flatheads.
The skeezers used to be on better terms
with the flatheads, whose rulers helped them
with marble, metals, and magic to make the
perfect city dome. But the skeezer Queen Coo-

The winged monkeys of Oz are like no other

passing resemblance to an oversized macaque,

gray-brown to auburn, and their faces feature
bright, intelligent eyes as well as wicked grins.

T
he books of Oz, along with other children’s fairy
tales Baum created, are full of famous characters
and stories. Who hasn’t heard of Dorothy, the Tin
Woodman, or Wicked Witch of the West? Baum’s
creations have become cultural references in many
lands and stories, easily recognizable wherever they
are reproduced. Of the multitude, we have gathered a
collection of all-star Oz characters and translated them
into playable non-player characters (NPCs) to allow game masters to
enhance their adventures.
We also included several original characters developed within
the framework of Oz. These characters were inspired by our own
playtests, our home games, backers, and our friends and loved ones.
We hope that these original NPCs demonstrate how players and
GMs alike can create their own non-player characters for the world
of Oz, whether natives of the Nonestic lands, of other lands, or the
product of wild imaginations.

Langwidere
When the Princess got out of her
crystal bed in the morning she went to
her cabinet, opened one of the velvet-
lined cupboards, and took the head
it contained from its golden shelf.
Then, by the aid of the mirror inside the
open door, she put on the head—as
neat and straight as could be—and
afterward called her maids to robe
her for the day. She always wore a
simple white costume, that suited all
the heads. For, being able to change her
face whenever she liked, the Princess had
no interest in wearing a variety of gowns,
as have other ladies who are compelled to
wear the same face constantly.
Princess Langwidere resembles a shapely
human woman in many aspects. Her skin is
porcelain fine, and she favors simple gowns with
elegant style and expensive fabrics, favoring
mostly white. She prefers the versatility of white
garments because she owns multiple heads,
and likes to know that her clothing will
suit whichever chosen visage she has
for the day.
Langwidere’s heads come in multiple
skin tones, hair colors, and eye color
combinations. For her own reasons,
she does not have a head with red hair
or grey irises, but she has most other
common combinations, and keeps the
heads locked in individual cabinets in
her chambers. When she switches heads,
which she only does in the privacy of her
room, she also switches personalities
and talents.
She is always found in the Royal
Palace of Ev, a coastal kingdom outside
of Oz’s Deadly Desert. While wearing
different heads, Princess Langwidere
has different mannerisms,
different voices, and different
patterns of speech.

Scarecrow
Its head was a small sack stuffed
with straw, with eyes, nose and mouth
painted on it to represent a face. An old,
pointed blue hat, that had belonged to some
Munchkin, was perched on this head, and
the rest of the figure was a blue suit of clothes, worn
and faded, which had also been stuffed with straw.
On the feet were some old boots with blue tops,
such as every man wore in this country, and the
figure was raised above the stalks of corn by means
of the pole stuck up its back.

Oz was not always a fairyland, I am

the fairy band of Queen Lurline, passing over Oz

the country and so made

Wherever he showed his merry face,

swarmed about him, following his footsteps

him gratefully for the joy he brought their
little ones; and the men looked upon him
curiously that he should devote his time
to such a queer occupation as toy-making.
But every one smiled on him and gave him

Ozana
“That question is easily answered,” replied
Ozana. “Immediately after Queen Lurline
enchanted the Mimics so that they could not
attack the Oz inhabitants, she flew with me, her
fairy companion, to the top of Mount Illuso. Here
she left me, giving me certain fairy powers over the
Mimics and instructing me that I was to remain
here at all times as the Guardian of Oz to prevent
the Mimics from doing any harm to the Oz people
should the evil creatures ever succeed in lifting
Queen Lurline’s spell. I was not even permitted to
leave the mountain to attend Queen Lurline’s fairy
councils in the Forest of Burzee.”
Jack Snow, The Magical Mimics in Oz
When the battles against the erbs raged for an
age, Ozana was among the fiercest resistors, and
she was the first to discover how to dispel their
illusions. After the battles were won and the
erbs were imprisoned, she swore that the
constant evil destruction would never

So Betsy and Shaggy each took an

a little twist of her feet set her free of
the branch upon which she grew. Very
gracefully she stepped down from the bush
to the ground, where she bowed low to Betsy and
Shaggy and said in a delightfully sweet voice: “I
thank you.”
But at the sound of these words the Gardener and
the Roses turned and discovered that the Princess
had been picked, and was now alive. Over every
face flashed an expression of resentment and anger,
and one of the Roses cried aloud:
“Audacious mortals! What have you done?”
“Picked a Princess for you, that’s all,” replied
Betsy, cheerfully.
Princess Ozga of Roseland is a beautiful rosian
maiden. Rather than hair, she has a golden
coronet of stamens and pistil, belying her royal
heritage, and has a ruff of velvet purple petals
that surround her face, which is creamy green
with a faintly golden blush shimmer. Her
eyes and brows are a darker root-brown.
Her garments are woven of glossy-green
leaves and gilt-edged red petals, well-
fitted and curling a bit at the ends of the
leaves. Wherever she walks, a wafting
flood of rich rose scent follows.
Ozga wears no shoes, and her bare
feet make little sound on any surface.
Her sharp thorn nails are her only
obvious weapon.

shapely as a fairy and exquisitely dressed, was
dancing gracefully in the middle of the lonely road,
whirling slowly this way and that, her dainty feet
twinkling in sprightly fashion. She was clad in
flowing, fluffy robes of soft material that reminded
Dorothy of woven cobwebs, only it was colored
in soft tintings of violet, rose, topaz, olive,
azure, and white, mingled together most
harmoniously in stripes which melted
one into the other with soft blendings.
Her hair was like spun gold and floated
around her in a cloud, no strand being
fastened or confined by either pin or
ornament or ribbon.

Dr. Nikidik Pipt,

She led the way to a great domed
hall at the back of the house, which was the
Magician’s workshop. There was a row of
windows extending nearly around the sides
of the circular room, which rendered the place
very light, and there was a back door in addition
to the one leading to the front part of the house.
Before the row of windows a broad seat was
built and there were some chairs and benches
in the room besides. At one end stood
a great fireplace, in which a blue log
was blazing with a blue flame, and
over the fire hung four kettles in a
row, all bubbling and steaming at
a great rate. The Magician was
stirring all four of these kettles
at the same time, two with his
hands and two with his feet, to

Ozma of Oz
Glinda walked to the canopy and

and from the couch arose the form of a
young girl, fresh and beautiful as a May
morning. Her eyes sparkled as two diamonds,
and her lips were tinted like a tourmaline. All
adown her back floated tresses of ruddy gold, with
a slender jeweled circlet confining them at the
brow. Her robes of silken gauze floated around
her like a cloud, and dainty satin slippers shod
her feet.
At this exquisite vision Tip’s old comrades
stared in wonder for the space of a full

“Tip” Tippetarius
Tip was made to carry wood from the
forest, that the old woman might boil her pot. He
also worked in the corn-fields, hoeing and husking;
and he fed the pigs and milked the four-horned
cow that was Mombi’s especial pride.
But you must not suppose he worked all the time,
for he felt that would be bad for him. When sent
to the forest Tip often climbed trees for birds’ eggs
or amused himself chasing the fleet white rabbits
or fishing in the brooks with bent pins. Then he
would hastily gather his armful of wood and
carry it home. And when he was supposed to be
working in the corn-fields, and the tall stalks hid
him from Mombi’s view, Tip would often dig in
the gopher holes, or if the mood seized him—lie
upon his back between the rows of corn and
take a nap. So, by taking care not to exhaust
his strength, he grew as strong and rugged as
a boy may be.

“Oh, he is sweeping out the barracks,”
replied one of the generals, who was busy
eating a leg of a turkey. “But I have ordered
him a dish of bread and molasses to eat
when his work is done.”
“Let him be sent for,” said the girl ruler.
While they waited for this command to be obeyed,
she enquired:
“Have we any other privates in the armies?”
“Oh, yes,” replied the Tin Woodman, “I believe
there are three, altogether.”
The private now entered, saluting his officers and
the royal Ozma very respectfully.
“What is your name, my man?” asked the girl.
“Omby Amby,” answered the private.
“Then, Omby Amby,” said she, “I promote you to be

The Shaggy Man

His coat was of rose-colored velvet,
trimmed with shags and bobtails, with buttons
of blood-red rubies and golden shags around the
edges. His vest was a shaggy satin of a delicate
cream color, and his knee-breeches of rose velvet
trimmed like the coat. Shaggy creamy stockings of
silk, and shaggy slippers of rose leather with ruby
buckles, completed his costume, and when he was
thus attired the shaggy man looked at himself in a
long mirror with great admiration.
The Shaggy Man is a tall human man with
rippling curly hair that has long since gone
white. His smile is sweet, surrounded by a white
moustache and a waterfall of a beard as curly
as the hair on his head. His eyes are pale blue,
kind and merry.
His clothing is carefully crafted to be as
shaggy as his hair and beard, with curling
shags on his gold velvet coat and green silken
pants. His shoes are practical brown leather
for walking. He eschews most possessions and
comfort, choosing to wander Oz and singing
songs in a very credible baritone. As he has
bathed in the Truth Pond in Oz, he is incapable
of telling a lie.

Ray Reed
Ray Reed was an old human who was
fly casting in the Mississippi River. He
hooked a colorful fish that dragged him
under the water. When he resurfaced,
splashing and gasping, he found himself
in Oz on the banks of Lake Quad outside the
Emerald City. To his wonder, he also found
that both his appearance and vigor reflected
himself at a third of his age. He climbed out
and entered the Emerald City, and after
some small adventures on the streets, he
found himself enrolled in the College of
Merriment, from which he graduated
in record time.

The Food Dictator

Half-ogres are often brutish, violent
creatures, famed for their indiscriminate
eating and mating habits. One found
another path after encountering a
solitary human chef on the road. The
human had a temper as hot as the ogres, and
lived to seek out recipes and new foods—and
welcomed anyone along the path with him. The
two found a key and passed through a doorway
to travel together to Oz, where the half-ogre
discovered that, when he kept his temper, he
could also assume a more human appearance.
The human chef left Oz to return to his stone
kingdom in another world, dubbing his friend
The Food Dictator as he disappeared through
a shining green doorway. The half-ogre/man
prefers to be called The Food Dictator, or by
any of his multitudinous titles bequeathed by
his first real friend, all alliterative and noble in
nature, including the Sultan of Spice, the King
of Cuisine, and the Viscount of Victuals.
When first encountered, he appears as a very
tall, burly human with piercing
blue eyes, dark short-cropped hair,
and a luxurious mustache, dressed
in chef whites and wearing a utility
belt of kitchen implements. He speaks
Common with a strong Slavic accent
and has a military bearing. His half-ogre
form is taller and broader, his skin going

pointed ears drooping downward.

Spare
At first glance, Spare may appear frightful.
He was assembled by tinkers building a group
of soldiers forged for war for a client. His
clockwork nature is hidden behind a gleaming
carapace of weathered tin and copper with
a dark green patina over every inch of metal.
His eyes alone are gleaming, polished, and
well-oiled. The rest of him is more weathered,
and his jovial voice is at odds with the
fierce exterior.
Spare’s shield of steel has become
oxidized, weathered, and rusted over
the years, and Spare uses it as a drum
that sings with metallic notes. As
his bardic skills increased, it
became the source of a new
power—the ability to cast the
thunderwave spell.
When not carrying his
first aid kit, Spare has a
simple longsword for
close combat and a hand
crossbow for fighting at
range. His best weapon
is a collection of darts
that can be loaded into
his left hand and shot
through dart fingers.
This hand, is not Spare’s
original, but rather a
bulkier version he gained
from a tinker shop in Ev
to replace a hand lost in
battle with nomes.

Baum Bugler
After the death of King Pastoria when
the Princess Ozma was stolen away,
the newly-arrived wizard insisted that
the Emerald City couldn’t possibly be
a proper capital city without having a
newspaper. The very idea of a newspaper was
new and strange to the denizens, but after much
waving of the wizard’s hands and a long-winded
explanation, all agreed that the Emerald City
needed reporting and journalism, and The
Baum Bugle was born.

A Bestiary of Oz
Inspired by the works of legendary
author L. Frank Baum, we’ve spent
years combing through his menagerie of
oddities and strange people to include
in this Beasts & Beings tome. Use this
book to populate any playable setting
in the world’s greatest roleplaying
game, whether Oz or not. We’re sure
that Baum would be delighted that
more than a century after his death, his
creatures still spark the imagination.
“Some of my … readers are developing

wonderful imaginations. This pleases
me. … I believe that dreams — day
dreams, you know, with your eyes wide
open and your brain machinery whizzing
— are likely to lead to the betterment
of the world. The imaginative child will
become the imaginative man or woman
most apt to create, to invent, and
therefore to foster civilization.”
- L. Frank Baum. The Lost Princess of Oz
Now, you can populate your own

adventures with the creatures and
peoples in these pages as you embark
on your own 5e Adventures in Oz.
