TERRA THE GOLEM

This is an adaptation of Golem from the game of Pokemon designed by an Etsy customer and brought to plush by me.  This has been one of the easiest characters that he has given me in a while.  The body of Terra the Golem, like regular Golem, is a pattern for a soccer ball.  So, especially, Terra the Golem and Golem can be described as a soccer ball with arms, legs, and a head.
