There has been much research on their translation, text collation and etc., however, only few scholars have noticed the fairy tale color in them.This paper is divided into four chapters.In the first chapter, the author analyzes on two types of fairy tale figures,that are the sublime incarnation and the typical case of ugliness.The second chapter attempts to reveal the expression means of personification, hyperbole, grotesque and deformation and how they make tales from traditional Tibetan opera showing a strong sense of fantasy.
