the major change in mike ploog's graphic novel is placing the gnome king in charge of nearly everyone (baum's hierarchy placed only the "great creator" above the three masters of the world) and making him resemble the nome king as he appeared in "return to oz", a film for which ploog was a conceptual artist. he also has a knook and a ryl serve as claus's constant companions. the gnome king has been omitted from most other adaptations, presumably to avoid confusion with the malevolent character in "return to oz", though an unidentified figure voiced by peter newman appears on the council over immortality in the rankin-bass version. based on the lineup in the book, he could be only the gnome king, bo, or kern, but his stature leads one to guess the gnome king.
