The Shaggy Man's Brother is the younger brother of the Shaggy Man. He considers himself very handsome.

History[]

He was a gold miner in Colorado who was taken captive by the Nome King. Ruggedo performed an enchantment on the miner making him ugly, and paraded him before his Nomes, calling him the Ugly One. He was then imprisoned in the Metal Forest.

Ten years later the Shaggy Man read about his brother's plight in Glinda's Great Book of Records and decided to go in search of him. When Shaggy and his companions found the Ugly One, he was reluctant to be rescued because of his appearance. The enchantment was broken by a kiss from a fairy, specifically Polychrome.

When the Shaggy Man refused to leave his brother and return to the Land of Oz, Princess Ozma brought them both to the Emerald City. (Tik-Tok of Oz)

It was mentioned that during the reign of Jack Snow as a Royal Historian of Oz, the Shaggy Man was visiting his brother at one point. He was in the Gillikin Country. (The Shaggy Man of Oz)

Although nicknamed Wiggy in the stage-play, Baum never revealed his name in his books. Later stories indicated that his given name was Ichabod, but he later changed it to Daniel. Queen Ann in Oz revealed that his surname (as that of his brother) is Mann.
