I keep thinking of what this guy reminds me. I think it’s a type of creatures from the Neverending Story. The book, not sure it they appear in the movies. I also don’t know the English name for them. In German they are called Schlamuffen. They appear more to the end of the book, as one of Bastian‘s fails of trying to wish things better. Somewhere in a cave he met poor sad creatures that were crying all the time and their tears created a salty lake on which a city of silver boats was swimming. He pittied them and wished them to transform into ever-laughing creatures, and out came a type of clown moths that were just joking and laughing all the time about everything. Later they come back to him and ask him to transform them back to their original ever-crying worm state, because the unstoppable laughter was making them crazy and their life was even more miserable than before, but by then Bastian is already out of memories for more wishes. Also in the meantime the tear lake had dried out and the silver boat city was ruined and deserted. One of the most sad side stories in the whole book.

Sorry for the long blabla, but this story was bugging me a lot when I read that book, and it kinda dug into my memory, because I was thinking so much of what I would have wished for when I met the crying worms.

Definitely this Schlamuffe will stay unhatched in my storage.
