In the movie "The Golden Compass," the type of monkey featured is a daemon called a golden monkey. It is a symbolic representation of the character's soul and takes on the form of a sleek, silent predator.
They are known as Armoured Bears or Savalbjorn.
The third book in Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series is called "The Amber Spyglass."
There are three, The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. They are known as the "His Dark Materials" series. There is also a book set two years after the series centered on Lyra that is called Lyra's Oxford and another book will be published as a sequel to that although there is no certain release date. There is also a prequel to the His Dark Materials series centered around the characters Lee Scoresby and Iorek Byrnison called Once Upon a Time in the North.
Umm there are lots but the main one is called Pantalaimon who is Lyra's daemon!She nicknames him Pan andd he ends up as a pine-marten.
No, the Northern Lights and The Golden Compass are not the same. The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are a natural light display in the Earth's sky, typically seen in high-latitude regions. The Golden Compass is a fantasy novel by Philip Pullman, which is the first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy. The title of the book in some countries is "Northern Lights," which is where the confusion may arise, but they are distinct concepts.
If you mean the Nothern Lights series of books by Philip Pullman, the film was called the Golden Compass.
The Golden compass is a devise used to tell the truth. Lyra being one of the only people able to read it, can ask it a question by using the symbols on the compass, picturing the question in her mind, and the compass will respond by spinning its arrows and landing on a symbol. But every symbol has a several meanings to it. like the symbol for Woman, could mean exactly that, or a mother, or nurturing. or like a snake meaning deception. Things like that. I can not spell they exact terminology for the Golden Compass because i had loaned my series to a friend, but the actual word for the Golden compass means something like, "Truth tell" "truth Machine" "Truth Compass" If you actually read the novels, in the third novel, "the Amber Spy Glass" Lyra finds out that the Compass is controlled by Angels, that do not lie. They will answer every question truthfully. all you have to do is ask the right questions. I highly doubt Lyra ever asked the Compass to do Algebra for her though. HAhaha!
