A Fictional Object is an item of note described in a work of fiction. It can range in scale from the very tiny to the bewilderingly huge. They can be very mundane in appearance or extremely enigmatic in nature. The Fictional Object can be something that can be worn, wielded, inhabited, etc (it is usually something the Fictional Character interacts with in some way). The Fictional Object can sometimes take an important role in the plot in a work of fiction as a McGuffin. Science Fiction has an important category of works that feature the discovery and exploration/investigation of a mysterious object (BDO, Big Dumb Object as it is more desparagingly called by some critics) while Fantasy Fiction often features in the plot an object that must be either mastered or destroyed at great personal cost by the Fictional Character. Examples of Fictional Objects: The One Ring The Golden Ticket Transmogrifier Rosebud The Mueller Device The Maltese Falcon Serenity The Overlook Hotel The Ringworld
