❃ The velvet worm (phylum Onychophora) is a fascinating, soft-bodied invertebrate native to the moist leaf litter, rotting logs, and damp microhabitats of tropical and temperate rainforests across the Southern Hemisphere and equatorial regions. Ranging from one to several inches in length, this ancient creature is renowned for its velvety, water-repellent skin covered in microscopic, water-resistant bumps called papillae, as well as rows of unjointed, stubby clawed legs known as lobopods.
❃ Having remained virtually unchanged for over 500 million years, the velvet worm possesses one of nature's most extraordinary hunting adaptations: specialized slime cannons located on either side of its head. When pursuing prey such as crickets, spiders, or woodlice, it swiftly sprays twin jets of a sticky, protein-rich liquid that hardens instantly upon contact with the air. This rapid-setting slime completely immobilizes its target in a fraction of a second, allowing the velvet worm to safely approach.
❃ As secretive nocturnal carnivores, velvet worms avoid dry conditions and bright light, relying on sensitive antennae and specialized sensory bristles along their bodies to navigate dark forest floors. After subduing their prey, they use sharp internal jaws to inject digestive enzymes into the immobilized target, liquefying the tissue before consuming it. Ancient, stealthy, and biologically unique, the velvet worm is an enduring living fossil that offers an incredible glimpse into the dawn of animal life.

We know it can be stressful buying products online. To help reduce that stress, we offer a full 30 day money back guarantee policy on all of our orders. In addition we provide:
Your plush travels inside our satchel, and some designs may be vacuum-sealed to keep them protected and compact during their journey. Don’t worry if yours looks a little flattened when first unpacked — the filling is designed to bounce back and simply needs a little time and fluffing to take its full shape.
Bringing it back to form:
1. Remove it from the packaging as soon as it arrives — don’t leave it packed.
2. Give it a good fluff — gently knead the body and work the limbs, wings, ears, or tail to redistribute the filling.
3. Let it breathe. Most plush regain their full shape within 1–3 days, while larger or denser designs can take up to a week.
4. Smooth any flattened or creased fur with your fingers or a soft brush as it fluffs back up.
5. Want to speed things up? Use a hairdryer on low, warm heat, held about 20cm away. Keep it moving and use short bursts between fluffs. Never use high heat.
Plush make this journey every day and naturally bounce back after being unpacked. If yours still isn’t looking like itself after a week, write to us at support@mythicalwoods.com and we’ll make it right.
Care: Spot clean with mild soap. Air dry

I got the velvet worm for my boyfriend as a late Christmas present and we are both in love! The velvet worm is so unique. We are still not sure if he should be called "wallace" or just "wormy".

I got this for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it!! It has a wire in it which is cool because you can bend it and it’ll stay but it’s not noticeable if you’re trying to cuddle with it. It’s WAY bigger than i was expected and i was super excited to give it to him! He mentioned how he thought velvet worms were cool one time so when i saw this i had to buy. It shipped out pretty quick too which was awesome! it’s super super cute and it’s fun to wear as a neck pillow😁😁

10 year old granddaughter adores her velvet worm, and has named her and given her jewellery. She carried it around her neck much of Christmas day.

Lovely! My partner suggested you did a velvet worm, which I passed on to you in your FB group, so I thought she deserved to have an actual one!
