Braided Man
An eccentric inventor living in a cave halfway up Pyramid Mountain who manufactures rustles and flutters.
First named in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, ch. 10
They turned around and found a man standing on the floor in the center of the cave, who bowed very politely when he saw he had attracted their attention.
As the books describe them
He was from a cave halfway between the Invisible Valley and the Country of the Gargoyles, and his hair and whiskers were so long that he was obliged to plait them into many braids that hung to his feet, and every braid was tied with a bow of colored ribbon. The Road to Oz, ch. 22

"Where did you come from?" asked Dorothy, wonderingly. "No place at all," answered the man with the braids; "that is, not recently. Once I lived on top the earth, but for many years I have had my factory in this spot--half way up Pyramid Mountain." "Are we only half way up?" enquired the boy, in a discouraged tone. "I believe so, my lad," replied the braided man.
