In the book the auryn was described as being two snakes that joined together to form an oval, each one biting the other's tail with one dark and one light. The book was described as being bound in coper colored silk with gilded letters. It had the Auryn on the cover and in gold letters said the never ending story. The writing was in green and red In the movie they decided to make the auryn a bit more elaborate as well as the book. If anyone wants to see what the REAL book looked like, let me know and I will do an image of it. I plan on making textures for this book as well. One from the movie and one of the actual book.
