Jellycat Onyx Dragon Huge

Meet Jellycat Onyx Dragon, a onyx black dragon of 66 cm that settles easily into the crook of an arm.

A closer look

Pick Onyx Dragon up and the weight is the first thing you notice: enough to feel substantial, not enough to be awkward in a child’s arms. The colourway runs onyx black, and the pile is brushed in one direction so it catches the light.

Size and fit

Onyx Dragon stands 66 cm. We give the exact figure on every plush for one reason: it is the only number that tells you whether something will fit it. Our garment listings carry the same kind of figure, so the two can be read directly against each other without converting anything.

The collection it belongs to

This one comes from the Dragons range. Jellycat design in ranges rather than one piece at a time, and it shows: the proportions, the face and the finish carry across, which is why collectors tend to buy two or three from the same family rather than one from each. Our own outfits are cut to centimetre bands for the same reason, so a piece bought a year later still has something in the wardrobe that fits it.

Made from, and looking after it

Polyester fabric with polyester filling. Hand wash only. Do not tumble dry. Washing by hand keeps the nap on the fabric, which is the part a machine cycle flattens first, and it is the difference between a plush that still looks new after two years and one that does not.

Who it is for

Filed under fantasy and collectible, and chosen here for a birthday and a collector more than anything else. It reads as considered rather than expensive, which is usually the harder thing to get right in a gift.
