Yep, I know the expression well.
My late mother had NPD, she had lots of flying monkeys.

Has anyone ever heard of a flying monkey before? One definition is when someone gets someone someone else to "perform their bidding' or in other words to their dirty work for them - for example an abuser gets others, friends and family for example to harass, intimidate or send messages on their behalf to the ex partner. So for example if the ex partner is avoiding them or not talking to them they will send others to give their message to them. On a lower level it happens in the playground when people fall out. Does anyone think they have ever been on the receiving end of a flying monkey or have they ever been a flying monkey?
