A little different from what I usually post, but in addition to noms seen in the rest of my gallery (and gaming as evidenced by my primary sona being a Yoshi!) I've always had an intense love for plushies! Recently, I learned that modern plushies are credited to Margarete Steiff in the 1880s, whose first creation was an elephant! Richard Steiff, her nephew, created and invented the Teddy Bear, which became the icon of the plush world in 1902 based on US President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt Jr., a known conservationist!

Thus, using my childhood teddy bear as my model and the ears, trunk, and tusks from an elephant plush, then throwing on a few patterns, I created my plush bearephant, Steiff the Steiff! Part bear, part elephant, all plush! The Steiff!

And because I want more wholesome plush characters in the world, I would like to make Steiffs an open species, but I do have but one rule, the ELEPHANT in the room, if you will: No NSFW! While making a Steiff who is technically of age is perfectly fine, they're made from the very concept of plush toys, stuffed animals primarily made for children. Please BEAR in mind the typical anatomy (or lack thereof ) the average plushie is given!

There's a line in my brain between my special interest in noms and vore. (Though admittedly, I do partake in both to a degree) I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see a cute internal shot of someone curled up in their Steiff friend's warm, soft, safe belly or a macro Steiff offering their maw; just keep it out of fetish territory! This goes for paw lovers as well! Just remember to keep the vibe cuddly, not "hot," please!

Otherwise, combine elephant, bear, and plush features as you see fit for your own fluffy companion! Have fun with it and please let me know all about it!
