liquid element alien to them; it is also their enemy. Water can extinguish them like a flame, or it can asphyxiate them, for they never stop breathing in air through their thousands of pearly scales". That's in the novel, so it's pretty conclusive to say that immersion in water will indeed kill them if it happens for more than very short periods of time. Thus, it's not original research to say that, and I have removed the flag accordingly.

I removed the "Original Research" and "citation needed" indicators, which I note has happened before and been the subject of edit wars, so I'm clarifying here. On page 217 (using the Ebook version) of the novel, it is stated "Luckdragons, as we know, are creatures of air and fire. Not only is the

Maybe it's even a good idea to split this page up into characters from the novel and characters from the movie adaptations, since there are some in each that are not in the other, and some are portrayed differently. (Or we could just remark upon the differences, as seems to be the present solution.)

It seems to me that not all notable characters are mentioned. Perhaps we should also mention the fellowship of the rockbiter and the guys with their flying bat and racing snail (whose English names elude me at the moment) that introduced the Neverending Story, and the researcher Engywook and Urgl

The original edit said the name was derived from "Fukura". That sounds like a mishearing, so I changed it to Fukuryuu and left the assertion in place. It's possible that it was Michael Ende or the author of the unknown source who misheard Fukuryuu as Fukura, in which case the source would say
543:. TNeS was one of my favorite books, but I haven't read it in a few years. I don't have access to any scholar material for TNeS and I am already quite busy with real-life and other wikiprojects, so if you can give this page a facelift, I'd greately appreciate it. – 153: 659: 585:
Here’s a fact about Tri-Face I think you should know: he actually has four faces each representing a card, Plain Face - Ace of Spades, Bearded Face - King of Clubs, Moustache Face - Jack of Diamonds, Monocle Face - Joker
737:(which pretty much makes the wearer immune from the physical laws otherwise governing Fantastica). From inside perspective, noone can say how much of an illness he would have taken away if that hadn't been the case.-- 677: 803:
The name was quite certainly "Mondenkind" in the German book, which naturally translates into English as "Moon Child", "moonchild" or something along these lines. It is not left vague, for sure.--

Fantasia vs. Fantastica - wasn't it "Fantastica" in the book? It may have been "Fantasia" in the film, and the comment reflecting the change suggests the person has only seen the film.

I changed the first lines of every description to something more suitable, and gave the original German names that I could find. I think I'll implement the second remark later on.

This article is a bit messy. By the looks of it, it's the result of the merger of a number of separate articles, without the needed changes to their content. A few remarks:

This sentence doesn't make sense to me. I liked it the way it was, but please explain to me why you changed it to this, in case I am missing something. --

The fictional land is called Fantasia not Fantastica. It sounds like they are saying Fantasia and even the subtitles agree. It is not called Fantastica.

Given that this is the "Characters of The Neverending Story" article, I'd expect that people should be able guess that much. 784:"Moonchild" - was this name in the book? I vaguely recall that the name Bastian gave the Empress in the book was left vague. 85: 872: 758: 902: 804: 738: 694: 30: 141: 887: 862: 824: 650: 436: 260: 752: 428: 99: 682: 104: 20: 497: 440: 432: 74: 687:"Occupation Guardian of the Desert of Colors" is not correct, it is the "Causer of the Desert of Colors"! 646: 202: 844: 256: 252: 247: 227: 65: 835:
