Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. To start us off, what is a dæmon?

Answer: A companion that accompanies its human and is part of its soul.

A dæmon is really important to a human as a human is really important to a dæmon. When a human dies a dæmon dies, when a dæmon dies a human dies.

2. Can a dæmon leave its human to a faraway place?

Answer: No

A dæmon can only be a few feet away from its human or pain starts to occur in both the human and the dæmon and they need to go back together again. This might trick some people as they might think they are able to afterwards but in "Northern Lights" none of that sort happened.

3. Can witches' dæmons leave them and travel to miles away from them?

Answer: Yes

This is an exception and only witches are able to do that, unlike normal humans.

4. A dæmon is a different sex from its human but is it possible to have a dæmon the same sex as you?

Answer: Yes, but it is very rare

It is very rare to have a dæmon the same sex as you and the evidence is that in the first book "Northern Lights", a person called Bernie Johansen. The author talks about him briefly while Lyra is speaking to John Faa, the king of the Gyptians.

5. Lyra's dæmon on one occasion was going to be intercised. What is done in this process?

Answer: Your dæmon is cut away, meaning that it won't be part of your soul anymore

This was going to happen to her in the station of Bolvangar or the General Oblation Board run by Mrs Coulter, her mother. Fortunately, her mother stopped them but Lyra hated her because she did it to other children like Tony Makarios who she met and died as he was a severed child or a half child.

6. How did the Gobblers or General Oblation Board intercise or cut away a dæmon from a human?

Answer: The new method was to put a dæmon on one side and the human on the other and cut them by putting a silver guillotine in between them

The guillotine is made of an alloy of titanium and manganese that resists the link between a human and a dæmon and therefore cutting them away from each other.

7. How many forms can a dæmon be?

Answer: An infinite number of animals but only one at a time

Pantalaimon, Lyra's dæmon, took a lot of forms including an ermine, a lion, a wildcat, a tern, a seagull, a snow leopard, a wolverine and many others throughout the first book.

8. What happens to a dæmon when a person becomes an adult?

Answer: It has a fixed animal form

It is supposed to show what kind of person you are, that fixed form.

9. What is Lyra's dæmon called?

Answer: Pantalaimon

Kaisa is a witch's dæmon particularly of Serafina Pekkala, a witch which was saved by Farder Coram forty years before.

10. Are the only creatures who can have dæmons, humans and witches?

Answer: Yes

An example of one of the animals who don't have a dæmon is an armoured bear or a panserbørn which are solitary and do not have dæmons. I hope you have enjoyed the quiz.
