Pardoes

Revision as of 01:04, 4 December 2010

Pardoes is Efteling's main red coloured mascot. Some sort of fairy tale creature draped with bells and a jester costume, you can expect him to be a right little trickster.

Well don't let that fool you.

He really is a little trickster.

You can often tell he's in the area, ready to pounce jokes on you like a cougar on a rather aggravated beaver, by the jingling bells on his hat that he regularly tries to mute through stuffing marshmallows into them. This doesn't please the costume department of Efteling when he returns but being Pardoes, he always manages to get out of trouble.

He must give people a nice day with a smile to shut up magic - Dutch Wikipedia article, Google Translation

The Pardoes Trick

Within the league of Park Mascots, he is well known for being a devious, mischievous little git who enjoys creating pranks for other park mascots whenever he's out of Efteling's reach. And thanks to him being a fairy tale creature, he has the ability to:

• Travel at great speeds - Thanks to his magic windmill hidden somewhere on-park.

• Disguise at great will - Thanks to his magical chameleon tulips he grows outside the magic windmill hidden somewhere on-park.

• Strength at great, er... strength - Thanks to his magical bells that contain the bud of the magical chameleon tulips he grows outside the magic windmill hidden somewhere on-park.
