Dr. Pipt

Dr. Pipt

Dr. Pipt, sometimes called "The Crooked Magician," is a fictional character from The Oz books by L. Frank Baum. He first appears in "The Patchwork Girl of Oz".

Dr. Pipt lives in the Munchkin Country with his wife Margolotte. He is notable for creating the Patchwork Girl. He also invented the Powder of Life, although in "The Marvelous Land of Oz," its invention is credited to a Dr. Nikidik, another crooked magician from the Gillikin Country. Oz characters sometimes change their names—Roquat the Nome King becomes Ruggedo. (In an article in the Spring 1965 issue of "The Baum Bugle," Lee Speth argues that Nikidik faked his death in the earlier book, to assume a new identity as Pipt.)

In Dr. Pipt's hands, the Powder of Life is immediately useful in animating both Scraps the Patchwork Girl and Bungle, the Glass Cat, to have adventures together, as well as both characters' subsequent appearances in the sagas of the Land of Oz.
