MEGA HOWLAGOR

This is another Pokemon-styled character created by a customer from Etsy.  This is the Mega evolution of a character that he had me bring to life in plush form about 2 years ago called Howlagor.  There is also a female version of this character called Growlagor.  I am hoping that her Mega evolution form is coming soon.  Everything is made using an E crochet hook unless otherwise stated.
