Woot is actually the name of a young
Gillikin boy from the far corner of the Gillikin Country of
The Land of Oz, the mystical fairyland where
Dorothy, Ozma, and their friends have had their many adventures. He was known as "Woot the Wanderer" because he left his comfortable, yet boring, home in order to find
adventure in the world. Woot was first seen in "
The Tin Woodman of Oz" a story about the famed
Tin Woodman's quest to seek out his long lost love,
Nimmie Amee. Woot's desire to make the Tin Woodman happy sets in motion this new adventure in the Land of Oz.
Woot was young and adventurous, not quite in key with the Gillikin people's nature. Gillikins are much the same as Munchkins in most ways, but are most renown for their use of the color purple.
Woot's home of Gillikin County was found in the northern portion of the Land of Oz, and had, in it's history, been controlled by the Wicked Witch of the North.
