Falcor, the luckdragon, is a central character in the fantasy novel ‘The Neverending Story’ by Michael Ende. He is a magical creature with a long, serpentine body, covered in green scales and the ability to fly. Falcor is a loyal friend and companion to the protagonist, Bastian Balthazar Bux, and helps him on his journey through the fantastical world of Fantasia.
Falcor’s name is significant because it reflects his unique and magical nature. The word “Falcor” is derived from the German word “Falke,” which means “falcon.” Falcons are known for their speed, agility, and intelligence, and these qualities are also reflected in Falcor’s character. Additionally, the name “Falcor” is reminiscent of the mythical creature, the phoenix, which is often associated with rebirth and renewal, symbolizing Falcor’s role as a guide and protector on Bastian’s journey of self-discovery.
