Ever read the book by Michael Ende?

Yes I have.  It's on my shelf and now my kids are reading it.  I know the books says the head is more like a lion.  But for so many of us, Falcor from the 80's movie lives in our hearts.

After all, the translation from German to English says he has the head of the lion, but thinking of the whole picture - he has a voice like the ringing of bells or gongs, and his long snake-like body floats through the air without needing any wings - it's almost like he was describing an Asian dragon (also lucky), which does not look at all like a lion. There are other "lion-like" creatures or fu dogs depending on region and culture, but those look very different from "dragons".  Asian dragons kind of have a longer snout and large nose like Falcor in the 80's movie so maybe that's why they made him that way.  I am over-analyzing now, but thank you for your concern.
