Kalidahs are a fictitious species of animal created by children's author L. Frank Baum for his novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. They are mentioned and featured in the first half of the story when Dorothy Gale and her companions are traveling through the dark forest. A Kalidah is characterized as a ferocious monster having the head of a tiger and the body of a bear. Other Kalidahs appear in The Magic of Oz, where they bother Trot and Cap'n Bill. In The Patchwork Girl of Oz, Dr. Pipt keeps Kalidahs struck with his Liquid of Petrefaction by the entrance to his house. The creatures play an important part in Eric Shanower's "Gugu and the Kalidahs." Kalidahs don't appear in the famous movie, but are hinted at in the famous line "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" "Kalidah" is also a personal name in Malaysia. The word "Kalidah" has been used for the name of a contemporary music act based in Newcastle. |
