Novel[]

Pyornkrachzark (known in the movies as Big Daddy rock) is a character in The Neverending Story. He is a member of the rock chewers, and lives on a diet of only rocks. One bite is enough to get most rock chewers to the end of a month. All rock chewers use stone for everything they need, from furniture to toys or vehicles. Pyornkrachzark had a bicycle that looked rather like a steamroller with pedals until he became hungry and ate it. He was chosen as a messenger to tell The Childlike Empress of the Nothing and ask for help. Along the way he met Gluckuk and Vooshvazool, and soon Blubb. They all became good friends and stayed together. But that's another story and shall be told another time
