Plush Golem[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Plush Golems are every parents nightmare, or dream, it depends. They are typically given as gifts to young children, usually by richer parents who can afford to commission a wizard. They seem like ordinary stuffed animals at first, but eventually reveal their animated state of being to the children who own them. Plush Golems are often used as protectors as much as toys, As the children treat their Golem more and more like living creatures, the parents' frustration increases as the child insists that the toy be allowed to eat at the dinner table, go along on outings, and take part in other family activities to the nuisance of everyone.
Description[edit]
Plush Golems are finely crafted stuffed animals and may be made of velvet, cotton, or wool. They are usually stuffed with cotton batting, but are sometimes partly filled with dried beans. They may be created in realistic colors to represent a real bear, panda, lion, or tiger, or they may be fabricated into fantastic creatures such as pink elephants, purple rabbits, or lime green monkeys.
Plush Golem Names[edit]
As they're owned and named by children, Plush Golem names tend to be rather silly and joyful. Though plush golems do not inherently adhere to any gender roles, their child will likely assign one to them.

Neutral Names: Snugglebug, Fuzzy Wuzzy, Peaches, Snuggabear, Buttons, Booboo, Piglet, Huggie, Fuzzy, Softy
