Mr Tumnus, call your service


This is a rather neat idea if you're putting on a production of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe or an adaptation of the Circus of Dr Lao, but you'd think that the chaps at Popular Science and elsewhere on the Internet would keep their mythological creatures straight. This is a fawn faun, I say again, a fawn faun, not a centaur.

Count the legs, for Zeus's sake!

  1. Looks more like a faun, a faun, to me.

    Great video, though!

  2. Dude! It's Torgo! From "Manos"! "The Hands of Fate"! They must be working on a remake! Schweeet!

  3. It would markedly improve a costume at a SF&F Convention.
    A tip:
    The costume should include a helmet.
    (The doorways of the hotel may not accommodate 8 foot tall guests.)

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
