When Dorothy Gale, her dog Toto and their three Oz companions were on the Yellow Brick Road to see the great Wizard, two Kalidahs tried to attack them all. The Cowardly Lion, like most creatures in Oz, is afraid of the Kalidahs. They mostly stay in the dark forests of Oz and are described to have bodies like bears, heads like tigers, and claws long and sharp enough to tear a lion in two. They first appear briefly in Baums' first Oz book titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900. Kalidahs are vicious predators which roam the magical Land of Oz. And just then, to their horror the group of companions saw running toward them two great beasts with bodies like bears and heads like tigers! "It's the Ka-Ka-Kalidahs!" Cried the Cowardly Lion. I'm terribly afraid of the Kalidahs!" "I'm not surprised that you are, they sound like dreadful creatures indeed!" Replied Dorothy. "They are huge and monstrous beasts with bodies like bears and heads like tigers, "replied the Lion, "and with claws and fangs so long and sharp that they could tear me in two as easily as I could kill poor little Toto. "What are the Kalidahs?" Asked Dorothy in a trembling voice. But the Lion whispered to his comrades that it was in this part of the forest that the terrible Kalidahs lived. " Suddenly the travelers heard strange noises coming from deep within the thick woods.
