Falcore the luckdragon (aka Falkor or Falcor, originally Fuchur) is the most beloved character from The Neverending Story, which was based on the 1979 German fantasy novel Die unendliche Geschichte by Michael Ende.

Falcore is benevolent, gentle, wise, regal, and incredibly optimistic. He bears no ill will toward anyone, and there is no evidence that anyone has ever been hostile towards him. G'mork and the Nothing were his only enemies, being threats to Fantastica/Fantasia itself. Falcore is an extrovert, quick to make friends, always welcoming the company of other creatures. He is an exceptionally loyal and protective companion.

Generous and kindhearted by nature, Falcore can typically be found caring for injured strangers or giving advice and encouragement to those who have lost their confidence and hope. He rescues Atreyu from the Swamps of Sadness, and helps on his mission to stop the Nothing from devouring Fantastica/Fantasia, often at great personal risk.

Luckdragons are named for their incredible luck in everything they do, as demonstrated when Falcore locates his lost friend amidst a turbulent, blinding storm. They possess no magical powers, other than the ability to fly and exhale blue fire. They are also able to sleep during flight, which obviously requires a substantial amount of luck to manage safely. Luckdragons perpetually draw heat and air through their scales, which makes eating unnecessary and submersion in water potentially deadly to them.

Not much is known about Falcore's home or origins. In non-canonical Neverending Story material, he is said to be ancient, coming from the luckdragons' ancestral home of Sky Haven, a land in the clouds floating above Fantastica/Fantasia.
