The only exception was in "Asterix and Cleopatra" when they were trapped in a pyramid. As a consequence, Getafix will not let him take additional potion for fear of side effects (for example, turning into stone, as shown in "Asterix and Obelix all at Sea"), something that Obelix finds immensely unfair. His strength results from having fallen into Getafix's magic potion as a boy. He is a tall, obese man with two predominant attributes: his phenomenal strength and voracious appetite for food. Obelix is Asterix's closest friend and works as a menhir delivery man.
The exception from this is in Icelandic where he is known as Ástríkur (Rich of love). His name is never changed in translations aside from accents and the use of the local alphabet (for example, in Esperanto, Polish, Slovenian, Latvian and Turkish it's "Asteriks"-although in Turkish he was first named "Bücür" meaning "shorty" before it was changed). * French: "Astérix" (from "astérisque", meaning " asterisk", which is the typographical symbol " * " indicating a footnote, or from the Greek word αστήρ (aster), meaning a star). He is a brave, cunning warrior, of somewhat diminutive size who eagerly volunteers for all perilous missions.
