Aurora Miyoni Garden Snail

August 27, 2025.

Plushie-producing company, Aurora, has a line of "realistic" animal plushies called Miyoni. This adorable Garden Snail is borne from the Miyoni stock. It is really cute, capturing the most charming features of real snails. It has a flappy-looking mantle, cute, mouth-like tentacles, and erect, attentive eyestalks. The fabric on the snail's shell and body shows deep brown marbling, and the snail's belly has contrasting tan fabric. The shell and dorsal surface have textured, shiny scales, making the snail look a little... shiny and wet? Thankfully, it does not make a mess with slime like a real snail. The inner curl of the shell sticks outward on both sides of the snail, making it look a little strange, but this snail is overall very cute.

There were many snails in the display, eyestalks all askew. Very cute! I did end up taking one home...
