Falcor – Where Is He Now?

Over the years I’ve heard many, many people ask the following question:

Whatever happened to Falcor from The Neverending Story?

And really, this is a very good question. I mean, where can a Luckdragon go once he’s had his fifteen minutes of fame? They don’t exactly blend in. I’m sure he didn’t want to stick around in Fantasia, not with that drip Bastian accidentally killing Atreyu in Part 2 and pronouncing Fantasia to be empty.

Little twerp.

People clearly want answers, and, unexpectedly, I am in a position to provide them. You see, it just so happens that I am a close, personal friend of Falcor’s and can tell you the whole story.

Because Fantasia was becoming more and more prone to evil overlords wanting to destroy it and the Empress’ passivity helped to enable this, Falcor decided to emigrate to earth where, unfortunately, he had to shrink quite a bit in order to blend in with local culture. He still retains the main features of a Luckdragon however, as illustrated below.

I give you…..Falcor Now!!

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

So, after providing indisputable evidence, everybody can relax now. Falcor didn’t fade into complete obscurity. He is alive and well, living with me in Peachester, and goes by the alias of “Caffery.” He likes to do normal, everyday things such as have his bottom patted, hump his giant teddy and visit the hydro bath.

He’s not immune to the camera flash of lurking paparazzi either. I’ll leave you with the following pictures to be featured in Who Weekly next week. Ciao!
