Plush Doll
Yes, the Mini Squishable Baphomet may be an extra-dimensional creature of mystical occult tradition, but they're actually pretty chill. This afternoon their plans include a nice cup of chamomile tea, a comfortable couch, and a good record. They prefer heavy metal, but whatever, honestly. You pick.
Our distinguishing physical characteristics are so random and quirky! You have red hair, that lady there has green eyes, I have a freckle on my wrist shaped just like a freckle. And this Deaths-Head moth has a mark on its back that looks just like a morbid, grinning skull, coming to steal your soul forever in its dusty whispering wings of shadows. Hah hah. Um.
Is 13 an unlucky number? Not according to this guy! I mean, technically the Jersey Devil is the cursed thirteenth child of early New Jersian settlers, which sounds BAD. But cursedness suits this cuddly cryptid! He's cool with it. I mean, he screams a lot. But that's not the curse, he's just into screaming.
I asked my co-workers how they would describe the Mini Kirin, here are their answers; "just a cool little dude," "a dragonfly fishlike unicorny friend," a "rare and mythical beast," and finally, "a Neverending Story." Take from this what you will!! Personally, I would say, he's just a squishy thing, living it's squishiest life, and really what more could you ask for?? Maybe a more succinct description but hey, they can't all be winners!
Medieval plague doctors thought the smelly herbs and flowers they stuffed in their masks would keep them healthy. They didn't. But their impenetrable (and spooky!) leather outfits actually did! That coat was like the hazmat suit of their day. Today we have soap, so unless you particularly like wearing a lot of leather, maybe just wash your hands instead. Actually, wash your hands either way. Now wash them again.
This Squishable comes with a glow in the dark lantern!
This horror movie might be about ghost-demon-witch-cultist-mummies-zombie kittens, but we all know the real star of spooky season. Without a reaper swinging that scythe, our characters would have nothing to lose! Thanks for adding a sense of gravitas, little reaper. You may creep me out...but that's kind of the point!
