Winged Baboon

In the land of Oz, the four directions are homes of four powerful witches: the good witches of the north and south, and the bad witches of the east and west, the latter being the worst of the two. The Wicked witch of the west, and possibly the wicked witch of the east, command legions of savage winged monkeys, creatures that are armed with sharp claws, flesh ripping teeth, and at least Tridents. These creatures resemble Baboons, with long doglike snouts and bushy hair all around their heads. The Great and powerful Wizard of Oz, possibly the first earth person to discover Oz, had to deal with these beasties in his adventures, as did Dorothy, a little girl from Kansas who sought a way back home.

In the book "Monsters: A Field Guide to Blood-Thirsty Beasts" by Dave Elliot, a section is found on the flying monkeys (Page  62). Though the sectionis mainly concerned with the monkeys in the movie "The Wizard of Oz", it has elements from the original book as well, and it's size estimates seem to match that of the Flying Monkeys in the upcoming movie "Oz the Great and Powerful". Therefore, Flying Monkeys will be listed as 2 feet 6 inches tall and 65 lbs until a better size estimate is given.
