Faun

Fauns were creatures that were part human and part goat. They were some of Aslan's most trusted servants, who were loyal, noble and kind creatures in the world of Narnia.

Their upper bodies show the appearance of a human, with the exception of having long goat-like ears, horns, and some fur down their arms. Their lower bodies show the appearance of a two-legged goat, with full furry legs, a tail, and cloven hooves. Fauns were similar in appearance to satyrs, though Fauns had human faces rather than the satyrs' goat faces.

They enjoy dancing happily around bonfires with Dryads, Satyrs, and Naiads at night, and playing on their musical instruments, usually pipes, when they dance.

Fauns also have a long life-span, but it is unknown exactly how long they live. However, the known life-span of centaurs is about two hundred years; so Fauns may be similar.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, a Faun named Mr. Tumnus was the first creature that Lucy Pevensie met in Narnia, during the Long Winter that the White Witch created for almost a hundred years. He tried to kidnap her, but Lucy reminded him that they were friends, so he brought her back to where they met to return her home. However, he was later caught by Maugrim and the Secret Police, and was turned to stone by the White Witch for his disobedience. When Edmund entered the White Witch's Castle, he passed through a courtyard full of creatures, including Fauns that were turned to stone by the witch.

Fauns were later seen in Aslan's camp where they gathered around with the centaurs, satyrs, human-headed bull, leopards, dwarves, cats, dogs, bears, dryads, naiads, eagles, badgers, bulls, unicorns, hamadryads, horses, silvans, and the tree people, when Peter, Susan, Lucy, He-Beaver, and She-Beaver arrived to meet Aslan, the creator of Narnia. After the Long Winter, Fauns fought in Aslan's Army against the White Witch's Army in the First Battle of Beruna. Fauns were later present in the coronation at Cair Paravel, when the Pevensies become the High Kings and Queens of Narnia.

Prince Caspian


In Prince Caspian, many Fauns gathered with the Old Narnians around the Dancing Lawn, and celebrated happily when they welcomed Caspian X.

They fought in the Second Battle of Beruna against Miraz and the Telmarine army.

The Last Battle
In The Last Battle, some Fauns fought against the Calormenes in the battle of Stable Hill, while some fought with the Calormenes.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader (film)


In the 2010 Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie, there were two Fauns onboard Prince Caspian's ship, the Dawn Treader, as part of its crew. One of them was called Nausus, while the other one (pictured) was apparently called Randy.
