This hungry fellow is ready to eat anything and everything you leave lying about - so watch out for your candy!

He makes a fantastic Halloween knit as a pumpkin replacement or decorative feature.

His semi-poseable mouth provides a handy pouch for storing your remote control, keys or anything else you don’t want to lose and he measures approximately 8 inches (20cm) high - a great size for cuddles!
