The Neverending Story (novel)/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Break the Haughty]]: Both Hynreck and Oglamar. Bastian doesn't think too much of Hynreck's boasting and deriding of how saving Fantastica "didn't require much of a hero," and soundly defeats him. Oglamar, who is only interested in the best, leaves Hynreck because of this. To remedy the situation, Bastian then invents a story about Oglamar getting kidnapped by a dragon, getting her into a situation for Hynreck to rescue her from. In both cases, Bastian realizes afterwards that what he did was [[Disproportionate Retribution]].

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Oglamar.

* [[In Harm's Way]]: How Hynreck wants to live. His greatest frustration is that Fantastica is too boring and doesn't have enough monsters, demons, and wars, thus depriving him of opportunities to demonstrate his skill. His reaction to hearing that his girlfriend has been kidnapped by a dragon is to jump up and clap his hands with joy.

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]
