Anmush

Background:

It was during one winter evening, during the holidays one year, that Galexy ran into Syracuse, who had been giving out gifts to anyone who came by, and not taking no for an answer. Put on the spot, Galexy was asked to choose whatever he wanted to receive, and at random the Mewtwo chose a large plushie dragon, figuring it might provide a bit of amusement for a time. And sure enough, that's just what he got, the toy soon woven together from pure magic within the bag it was then pulled out of.

Content with his choice, Galexy then went off to have some random fun with his new gift, until he got the attention of some friends of his along with a few other curious passersby. Curious about the large plush now, they explored it a little, soon discovering an opening in its mouth leading inside, along with a certain amount of sentience as the soft toy dragon quickly gobbled up the ones that tried to investigate further!

However, they found themselves to be in no danger inside, and Galexy soon learned that this plushie was alive and gaining intelligence, most likely a side effect of its magical origin. After a bit of brainstorming between all of them, they eventually settled on the name 'Anmush' to call this new being.

Since then, Anmush had mainly spent his time within Galexy's inner dimension, keeping its shadowy inhabitants company. However, after Galexy's soul underwent some changes, that place has become deserted, and the Mewtwo has given the plushie dragon a chance to set out on his own and get to know the world and its people a little more.

As for what he'll find out in the park, only time will tell.

Description:

Height: 10'
Weight: 60 lbs (though can easily vary)

Anmush is a large dragon plush, both in terms of height and width, and is of a copper color all over, with a lighter shade on his belly.
He has thick limbs, a long thick tail, a huge round belly, and is generally soft, squishy and huggable all over. His hands and feet are rounded shapes with stitching to give the appearance of digits at the end, though he does possess actual thumbs, and doesn't seem to have a problem gripping things.
His head has a rounded snout, head fins and blunt horns, along with plastic eyes and fabric eyelids that help him approximate proper expressions. His mouth opens up to reveal no teeth, but does have a throat leading down to his stomach, which is not unlike a room made up of overstuffed pillows.
The stomach is as far as anything would go within him, as his rear lacks any sort of opening. He similarly lacks genitals of either variety, though nevertheless prefers to consider himself as male.

Personality:

Anmush is generally a pretty friendly creature, always happy to meet someone new to talk to or give a soft plush hug to. Although, more often than not his idea of showing affection ends up in hugging someone inside his belly before too long! But even then, he's normally nice about it, letting them out again when they ask to be (though will try his best to convince them to stay longer!)

Abilities:

Durability: His magical nature grants his body greater resilience than the average plushie. His fabric is resistant to tearing and burning, and is mostly waterproof, and can even stretch out to a fair extent should the need arise.

Flesh <-> Plush transformation: Whenever Anmush has a living thing inside him, he can choose to transform them into a living plush version of themselves. They usually retain their ability to move and talk, along with any other abilities they may normally have, but sometimes if he's in a mischievous mood he may leave them stuck as an inanimate plush for a while. Luckily, this transformation can easily be reversed by having the dragon swallow them again. It may even be possible for him to perform the reverse transformation to turn an ordinary plushie into whatever it represents...

Fabric absorption: Although his toughness helps prevent too much damage to himself, he may still want to add material to make himself even bigger, and can do so easily enough. Any sort of fabric or related material he ingests can be broken down and incorporated into his body. If he happens to be feeling hungry, don't be surprised if you find yourself naked when you come out again! Though usually he's polite enough to ask permission before absorbing someone's clothes. He's also capable of doing the same with other plushies, including living ones, though he would definitely make sure they were okay with it first, if they are friends of his.
(Note: He can combine this with the plush transformation ability to absorb normal prey directly once they are in his stomach)

Magic absorption: An interesting thing Anmush has discovered concerning his magical nature is that he is also able to absorb magic from various sources in order to strengthen his own abilities. Spells cast on him may just give him a boost rather than have their intended effect, and the plush dragon can feed on magic within magical items or creatures he's swallowed, gaining power for as long as they're within him. ((New abilities may be unlocked after absorbing enough magic over time))

Reformation: Should he happen to absorb a plushified person into himself, and they're unable to reform on their own, they would continue to live on as stuffing within him. At any point, he is able to recover their consciousness and restore them (usually back into plushie form at first, but that can be changed soon enough afterwards).
In addition, should anything somehow happen to Anmush himself, he is capable of recreating his form by tapping into the ambient magical energy typically flowing around the park.

Mana breath: After absorbing enough magic, Anmush is able to expel it as a cloud of glowing gas, that he is able to control the properties of at will. Most of the time, it turns whatever it touches into a plush version of itself. However, it can also be used to turn a plushie into something real, or create plushies or clothes out of the ether.

Shape shifting: After a transformation incident caused by Magical_Mindy where the plushie got turned into a real dragon, he discovered the ability to change forms after turning himself back. He prefers being a plush dragon, though is more open to being changed into other things than he used to be.
