THE SAILFIN SWIMMER · crest & rudder tail
A Series of Laugh and Grow
Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.
Chubby & Full of Character
Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.
Ready to Display
A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.
Part lizard, part dragon, part swimmer, the Philippine sailfin lizard lives along forest rivers, crowned with a tall crest down its tail that acts like a rudder in the water. As a youngster it can even sprint across the surface of a river to escape danger.
A Sail on Its Tail
Males grow a tall, sail-like crest along the tail, used to steer and propel them as they swim and to show off to rivals — the feature that names them.
A Water-Running Dragon
Like the basilisk, young sailfins can dash across the water’s surface on their hind legs for short bursts, escaping predators in a spray of splashes.
A Riverside Life
It lives along forest streams and rivers of the Philippines, basking on overhanging branches and dropping into the water at the first sign of trouble.
Beautiful and Threatened
Prized for its beauty and threatened by habitat loss, this jewel-toned dragon is a Philippine treasure — here rounded into a plump, crested figure.
