Gump

Background

The Gump is the trophy head of a Gump that was shot and killed by a trophy hunter in OZ.


During the events of Return to OZ (1985) played by Lyle Conway and Stephen Norrington

The Gump is turned into a sled when Billina, Tik Tok and Jack Pumpkinhead build him and Dorothy pours the Powder of Life on him and says the magic words. They fly away from Mombi's tower, but crash land at the Nome King's mountain. After Dorothy threatens the Nome King, the group is swallowed by the earth. The Gump, Tik Tok and Jack are reunited with Dorothy and the Nome King makes them an offer. If they can correctly choose what ornament the Scarecrow has been changed into they may leave. The Gump goes first and is turned into an ornament. The Scarecrow finds him and he is returned to normal when Dorothy says the word OZ. The Nome King becomes enraged and partially destroys and eats the Gump sled. After the Nome King is poisoned and destroyed when Billina lays an egg that falls into his mouth, Dorothy uses the Ruby Slippers to restore the Emerald City and brings everyone back from the Nome King's mountain. The Gump joins the celebration as Dorothy returns to a rejuvenated OZ and Dorothy frees Ozma. He says bye to Dorothy before she returns to Kansas.
