We absolutely LOVE the thought of someone cuddling a plush hellbender. Thanks to Pennsylvania Wilds Artisan Ellen Paquette, that thought is now a reality!

You’ve most likely seen these in the shop - a life-sized plush version of the legendary salamander--the hellbender. Native to swiftly moving streams and rivers in the Appalachians, the hellbender is an elusive and fantastic creature and the third largest salamander in the world. A mature hellbender can measure in excess of 24 inches and live up to 50 years. Perfectly harmless, but perfectly astounding and little changed in appearance for the last 65 million years.

These limited edition tie dye hellbenders have a run of only 5, with the possibility there may be one more run in the future. Polyester fiber fill stuffing, plastic safety eyes. Approximately 24 inches in length.
