The Gump
A flying thing assembled from sofas, palm leaves and a mounted head, brought to life to carry the company out of the palace.
First named in The Marvelous Land of Oz, ch. 17
The Woggle-Bug had taken from its position over the mantle-piece in the great hallway the head of a Gump, which was adorned with wide-spreading antlers; and this, with great care and greater difficulty, the insect had carried up the stairs to the roof.
As the books describe them
This Gump resembled an Elk's head, only the nose turned upward in a saucy manner and there were whiskers upon its chin, like those of a billy-goat. The Marvelous Land of Oz, ch. 17

"And, really, if you examine it critically, the Gump looks very well as a figure-head. These great palm-leaves, for which I have endangered my life seven times, must serve us as wings." "Are they strong enough?"
