Morla from the never ending story
Bavaria/Garmisch-Partenkirchen/ Micheal Ende Park
Morla, known as The Ancient One (Die Uralte Morla in German), is a giant turtle who, because of her size, is mistaken for a mountain. She lives in the Swamps of Sadness, which might be either the cause or the result of her melancholy mindset: as the oldest living Fantasian (after the Childlike Empress and the Old Man of Wandering Mountain, who are both ageless) she has grown indifferent to the fate of Fantasia and her own survival. Reluctantly, she informs Atreyu that the Empress needs a new name and points Atreyu to the Southern Oracle. Morla speaks in the 'royal we' or nosism.
In the film she has allergies to youth (Atreyu) and sneezes violently in its presence. Here, she knows nothing about the illness of the Empress, but sends Atreyu directly to the Southern Oracle.
