My favourite Character



Obélix is a man with superhuman strength. Is Asterix's friend. He always wear a menhir and he doesn't like Romans. He loves wild boars.


He has a little dog named Dogmatix(Fr. Idéfix). He is a large man who does not see himself as fat,

Sometimes, when he is in a bad mood, just hearing the word "fat" can quickly enrage him. Being called fat, or being hinted as being fat, is one of the main causes of conflicts between Asterix and Obelix which leads to more developing conflicts in which they must work together, in each album. Although conflicts between the two friends invariably degenerate into insults being screamed back and forth, Obelix and Asterix inevitably make up swiftly.


Obelix has no need to drink Getafix the druid's magic potion that gives superhuman strength, because he fell into the cauldron as a baby and its effect on him became permanent. The story of that incident is told in "How Obelix Fell into the Magic Potion When he was a Little Boy. Since this effect was not intended or expected, Getafix refuses to allow him even one more drop except under the direst circumstances.


Obelix is kind-hearted, but is socially. He is still not completely aware of his own strength and almost invariably breaks any door he gently knocks on. He is frequently used as a human battering ram for opening locked doors or breaking through walls.


Although he has his own house, Obelix is occasionally shown staying overnight at Asterix's.
His passions in life are hanging around with Asterix, beating up Roman legionaries (and occasionally collecting their helmets) and eating.


His trademark phrase is "These Romans are crazy"
