Figures of fantasy are pretend people or creatures that help tell a story and make it more exciting.
Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, maybe a talking dinosaur or a robot friend. That's like having a figure of fantasy in your game! They’re not real, but they feel alive because they do things you can’t do, like flying, turning invisible, or speaking to other toys.
What makes them special
Figures of fantasy often have amazing powers or come from faraway places. Think of a dragon that lives in a castle made of candy, it's not real, but it helps make the story fun and full of adventure. Just like your imaginary friend can be a superhero who saves the day every time you play.
Sometimes, they help the main character learn something important, or show them how to be brave. It’s like when you pretend to be a knight fighting a giant, even though there's no real giant, it helps you feel strong and confident.
