Gillru-Kun is a quirky toy creature from the Japanese brand Bounty Hunter. The creature that it resembles is definitely not from this world. With a protruding jaw and a spiked back, this monster looks like it came straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon.
The simple black-and-white detailing on the Gillru-Kun figure give it a skeletal appearance. Although it's supposed to be a monstrous creature, I doubt this guy would be giving any child a nightmare.
