In the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the Leader of the Winged Monkeys remains nameless. In the posthumous 1939 movie, the credits at the film's end give the name of Nikko.
There was no name for flying bats in either the original 1900 book or the beloved 1939 film versions of 'The Wizard of Oz'. Instead, the Wicked Witch of the West had control over flying monkeys. The monkeys were called Winged Monkeys.
Flying monkeys exist in fantasy. Frank Baum, the author of "The Wizard of Oz," explained that he was writing fantasy. Flying monkeys only exist in imagination. But in the Wizard of Oz flying monkeys existed in the creepy forest hollow and the wicked witch of the west's castle.

The book simply names them 'Winged Monkeys.' The Witch called them through a crown that allowed her to command them. She could only use the crown three times and when she used it to capture Dorothy, it was the last time she was able to call them to her bidding. In the movie, the leader of the Winged Monkeys was called Nikko by the Wicked Witch of the West.
She had those flying monkeys that went and snatched Dorothy and her friends and dog out of the forest...

Yes the are
Flying (or winged) monkeys are fictional - they appear in the Wizard of Oz.
No. Flying monkeys aren't real. The term flying monkeys were popularized by the movie and book-- The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Flying monkey or winged monkey. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz the only flying monkey that L. Frank Baum (the author of the Oz series) shows his name is a flying monkey that can talk who is the King Flying Monkeys named Chistery.

I assume you are talking about Wizard Of Oz. Maybe, the flying monkeys were monsters- and bad-guy monsters at that. if one of them died accidentally ( as part of the plot) this would be no big deal. The idea of flying apes can be used to be quite frightening- if one mixed the chimpanzee and bat angles of presentationk, and monkeys are arboreal in nature ( Tree dwelling) I never cared much for Wizard of Oz, so... it might have happened.
The flying monkeys, servants to the wicked witch of the west from the wizard of Oz.
Niko is the name that appears in the credits of the movie (but isn't mentioned in the book or the film) as the leader of the Flying Monkeys.
