His catch phrase is: "These Romans are crazy" , although usually he considers other nationalities just as strange. He is a large man who does not see himself as fat, preferring euphemisms such as being " well covered " or having a chest that has " slipped a little bit ".

Obelix is so in denial over this matter that he usually doesn't even notice when other people refer to him as "that fat one", and often shows total confusion over which fat person people are referring to. When he does understand the allusions are made on his behalf he flies into a rage and starts beating the person who said it up. Sometimes, when he is in a bad mood, just hearing the word "fat" can quickly enrage him. Being called fat, or being hinted at being fat, is one of the main causes of conflicts between Asterix and Obelix which leads to more developing conflicts in which they must work together.

Although they usually simply insult each other verbally they inevitably make up swiftly. Also in earlier albums Obelix has a white helmet and a completely green colored belt, much like Asterix. Obelix is Asterix's closest friend they even have the same birthday - although this is inconsistent with the comic Obelix and Co.

Obelix also owns the quarry where he chisels the menhirs himself. It is never directly stated what the menhirs are used for, though it is hinted that they are just oversized knick-knacks.

Obelix usually trades the stones away for whatever he needs, resulting in the village having a literal field of menhirs. He has a little dog named Dogmatix Fr. His parents live now in Condatum as seen in Asterix and the Actress and his distant cousin Metallurgix , a golden sickle maker, lives in Lutetia as seen in Asterix and the Golden Sickle.

Obelix is kind-hearted, but socially inept — possibly because his strength means that others have had to adapt to him instead of vice-versa. He is still not completely aware of his own strength and almost invariably breaks any door he gently knocks on.

He is frequently used as a human battering ram for opening locked doors or breaking through walls. Similarly, he is unaware that others do not share his superhuman strength, and shows great surprise when others are crushed by what he calls "a small menhir" , or when Asterix attempts to explain to him that a small dog like Dogmatix cannot lift a menhir. Because of Obelix's already enormous strength, he is not allowed to drink the magic potion ever again, a ban he regards as being tremendously unfair.

Other characteristics are his simplemindedness, his love and care for his dog Dogmatix, his anger when someone refers to him as being "fat" , his enthusiasm for hunting and eating wild boars and beating up Romans. His catchphrase is: "Ils sont fous ces romains" , which translates into "These Romans are crazy!

Superhuman strength : Due to the fact that he fell into a full pot the magic potion of the druid Getafix, Obelix constantly possesses a superhuman strength allowing him to lift or hit extremely heavy objects.

The exact limits of his strength are unknown or even if he has limits ; he could for example pull several boats easily, which even surprises Getafix and even more impressive to lift the foot of a statue without any effort. His strength even allows him to beat and send dozens of cohorts of legionnaires flying easily.

Finally his strength allows him to deliver his menhirs easily and to uproot trees. Superhuman durability : Obelix is shown being durable enough to smash through stone and metal as if it were nothing. Even being hit in the head does not seem to bother him much as seen in Asterix versus Caesar movie. Superhuman speed : As seen in Asterix at the Olympics , Cesar's Papyrus and Asterix and the Transitalic , Obelix can run extremely fast perhaps even at supersonic speed and travel huge distances easily.
