HOWLAGOR

This is a Pokemon-styled concept that an Etsy customer created and asked if I could create a plush of.  Of course, in tradition of our motto at Crochet Fanatic – “You dream it, we create it”, I brought his concept to life in plush.  Howlagor is the Stage 2 evolution of Howlic.  Howlic’s Stage 1 evolution was Howlogan.
