Dr. Nikidik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Nikidik is a character mentioned in The Marvelous Land of Oz. Nothing is known of him other than that he is the inventor of the Famous Wishing Pills.

Tip believes that this is the name of the crooked magician visited by Mombi, leading to a theory first proposed by Lee Speth that he is the same character as Dr. Pipt, who seems to be that person. Speth gives credence to the possibility that Tip may be mistaken and Nikidik is indeed another character, that the character has two names, such as Nikidik Pipt, or that one name is a false name used by the magician.

Dr Nikidik is also the human professor brought in to replace the Goat, Dr. Dillamond as the Life Sciences teacher at Shiz University in Gregory Maguires' Wicked: The Life And Times Of The Wicked Witch Of The West.
