Metallurgix is a famous sickle maker, and the distant cousin of Obelix. He is the spitting image of Obelix, except that he is small. Like a miniature reproduction of Obelix, his distant cousin Metallurgix (or Amerix, depending on the translation), who is scrawny and small, is the most famous maker of golden sickles in Lutetia. In fact, Getafix won't go gathering mistletoe anymore if not with a sickle signed by Metallurgix!
