Yes, the Winged Monkeys are people in costumes in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, only one of the Winged Monkeys is credited in the official cast list of the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." The part is listed as that of Nikko. The actor listed as playing the head of the Winged Monkeys is Pat Walshe (July 26, 1900 - December 11, 1991).

Their pledge of obedience, their life history and a caution about leaving Oz in the book and nothing in the film are what the monkeys say in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the Winged Monkeys tell the Wicked Witch that they are forced to obey each of three commands that she is allowed as wearer of the Golden Cap of their servitude. They relate to Dorothy Gale their life histories as a formerly free people enslaved by Princess Gayelette of the North because of a cruel joke against the powerful sorceress' betrothed. They also explain that they cannot be the means for the return of Dorothy and her pet dog Toto to Kansas since no one can cross the Deadly Desert surrounding the magical lands of Oz.
