This article analyzes the essence and significance of fantastical characters commonly found in folk tales—such as dragons, demons, fairies, magicians, heroes, and other mythical beings—as well as their impact on children’s consciousness and their moral and educational functions. The study highlights how these fantastical elements help children distinguish between good and evil and foster qualities such as courage, honesty, and patience. Furthermore, the pedagogical potential of symbolic characters is evaluated from a linguoculturological perspective.
