[2.25" H]

Nisetsumuri (にせつむり, Ni setsu muri) is a slug pretending to be a snail.

Nisetsumuri is actually just a slug with a shell. It has a light blue shell with pale cream splotches and a cream-colored body. It often wears all sorts of things on its back instead of its shell because it is forgetful and mistakes them for its shell. 

It was jealous of the other snails and found a shell of its own, but after pretending to be a snail was constantly sorry for tricking the Sumikkos. Although in the series, it shows that the Sumikkos already knew it’s secret...

This cute, small and super soft, collectible plush is perfect for play and decorating your space. Surface washable for easy care and maintenance. Ages 3-99+
