List of Narnian Creatures - F

F

• Falcon - Lucy mentions how the Pevensies used falcons during their hunting parties back when they were kings and queens (VDT).

• Faun - Fauns, or the son of woods, are woodland creatures with the legs of a goat and the upper body of a human. They characteristically have curly hair, glossy black hair and fur, small horns resembling those of a goat, and long tails. They enjoy dancing and playing music, and their faces are simultaneously "mournful and merry". One faun, Mr Tumnus is the first character Lucy Pevensie meets when she enters Narnia. Dryads frequently join in their dances, while Naiads and Satyrs join in occasionally. In classical mythology of the sort that Lewis employs, there are never female fauns. Male fauns typically reproduce with nymphs, or sometimes, human women, although it is unknown if this point is shared in Narnia (LWW). In the 2005 Film, their fur and hair is brown or blondeish instead of black, have slender goat legs, and have regular goat tails instead of long tails. In the 2008 movie, faun children can be seen during the Old Narnians' parade through the Telmarine village.

• Fish - The fish that inhabit the Narnian waterways are wide and varied, but are known to include earthly fish including trout (LWW) as well species indigenous to Narnia such as pavenders. In the books it is not specified whether or not there are talking fish in Narnia, although none are ever mentioned.

• Fox - Foxes are sly, intelligent creatures. A Fox is present at the Christmas party where the White Witch turns the merry-makers into stone (LWW). Another Fox bites the Giant Wimbleweather when he treads on its tail (PC). A fox called Slinky joins the Calormene side in the last battle. (LB). In the film version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a fox (voiced by Rupert Everett) helps the Pevensies to escape from the White Witch's secret police and is the same fox who the White Witch later turns to stone.
