Wheelers

The Wheelers are a fictonal group of bizzare characters invented by L. Frank Baum. They are a very rare species who only live in the enchanted Land of Ev and are introduced in L. Frank Baum's third Oz book titled Ozma of Oz, published in 1907. They are rather disagreeable creatures who are neither bad nor good but more in between, much like the Winged Monkeys of Oz, being undeniably mischievous by nature. Ev also is a neighboring enchanted country to the magical Land of Oz but is separated from Oz by the Deadly Desert that cuts both lands off from the rest of the world, keeping its inhabitants undiscovered and safe from possible discovery and invasion.

The Wheelers are a clan of an unknown species who reside in the country of Ev that is ruled by the Royal Family of Ev who are related to the character of Princess Langwidere. They are a rambunctious group who strangely have the forms of human men, except that they roll on all fours, their legs and arms being the same length. Instead of hands and feet they have wheels, which are made from the same material as finger-nails and toe-nails. The Wheelers are said to always wear very attractive clothing and gorgeously embroidered, tight-fitting garments.

The Wheelers sometimes act like big bullies but are really rather a harmless bunch because they have no hands to punch or grab or scratch with, and no feet to kick with. They write warnings in the sand and act fiercely to make strangers intimidated and afraid of them, but only in order to protect themselves and their kin.
