Before you freak out, know that the Giant Cthulhu Plush isn't exactly meant to be put in a baby's room. This giant sci-fi stuffed animal was only photographed next to a baby and its crib to show how big it truly is. It was created by Ewa Trojanowska of the Etsy store Kfiatek Gifted Hands. The plush weighs in at almost ten pounds and is a cuddlier version of H.P. Lovecraft's now-famous monster.
In addition to being a scary stuffed animal, the Giant Cthulhu Plush is also an example of awesome upcycling as it is made out of old clothes. Due to its size, Trojanowska recommends using the plush as a decorative item or piece of furniture, not a toy. It's on sale now in her Etsy store for $460.45.
