Bloo the Triceratops
Title

Creator
Description
The items created by Jeanette Laredo are "oddbodies" - the unholy union of a Furby and a plush toy. When it was first released in 1998, Furby was the must-have toy of the Christmas season selling over 27 million units in one year, but glitches affecting Furby's speech scared children and their parents who claimed the toys were demonic. Furby fans have given the toy a second life online, removing the eyes and flesh, stitching together bodies and faces to form new, more horrifying, and loveable creations like the ones you see here.
