More about Huggy Wuggy
Huggy Wuggy’s Appearance
Huggy Wuggy is a blue-furred creature. He has long arms and legs with yellow hands and feet. His appearance resembles a monkey. He has a triangle-shaped head, big black eyes, and a huge red mouth.
In his normal state, he has a big red smile. And in his monstrous state, his big red mouth is open, and you can see his needle-like teeth.
