The Faun in Pan's Labyrinth is a creepy, ancient creature who shows up to guide young Ofelia through a twisted, magical world. Living in a shadowy, overgrown labyrinth, he gives her three deadly tasks, claiming it's the only way to prove she's the long-lost princess of an underground kingdom. But the Faun is far from trustworthy. One minute, he seems like he's helping her, and the next, he’s downright sinister. With his twisted horns and goat-like features, he’s as unsettling as he is intriguing, perfectly capturing the dark, eerie vibe of the film.
