Quox

Quox is a young dragon selected by Tititi-Hoochoo as his Instrument of Vengeance against Ruggedo.

First named in Tik-Tok of Oz, ch. 13

But finally I came to the Dragon Family, which we highly respect, and then it was that I discovered the error of Quox.

  • servant of Tititi-Hoochoo 1 chapter
    • "Then you no longer possess any magical powers, and are as helpless as a clam," asserted Quox. "My great master, Tititi-Hoochoo, the Jinjin, enchanted this ribbon in such a way that whenever Your Majesty looked upon it all knowledge of magic would desert you instantly, nor will any magical formula you can remember ever perform your bidding."
