A "flying monkey" is a term from popular psychology, originating from The Wizard of Oz, that describes a person manipulated by a narcissist or abuser to act on their behalf, often unknowingly. These individuals may carry out the abuser's "dirty work," such as spreading rumors, gathering information on a victim, or pressuring them to reconcile. They act as enablers, helping the narcissist maintain control and a positive public image while inflicting harm on a victim.
