Kabumpo is an elephant, one of new Oz author Ruth Plumly Thompson’s strongest originals.
On a grammar note: I always wondered why the title has Kabumpo in Oz when Kabumpo seems to be a native of Oz and is never anywhere but Oz.
In the titles of most other Oz books when the individual is from or of Oz that’s reflected in the title, viz.

Neill's Oz, for instance, is completely anthropomorphic: the houses move, fight, and clean themselves; the kitchen utensils work together to prepare meals and then wash up; the rivers and streams respond to requests for favors.

Having heard of Princess Ozma, "Pompa" heads for the Emerald City to marry her, accompanied by his faithful companion, the Elegant Elephant named Kabumpo.
Two other new but critical characters in this adventure are Peg (aka Peg Amy, Trot's wooden doll, brought to life by Ruggedo through experiments with Glegg's Box), and Wag, a rabbit (blown up to human size by the same method).
Unfortunately, it tends to kidnap characters along the way.This 1922 book was Thompson's second Oz pastiche after the death of Baum, and holds up well, especially with the plentiful and marvelous drawings of John R. Neill, who illustrated most of Baum's (and many other) Oz books.
