ohhhh my god this is a puggle from an Australian 90's small chain shop called 'The Lost Forest'. Inside it was dark, densely decorated with leaves, and had a talking tree. You didn't buy a puggle (or a fruggle, or the other beasts), you 'adopted' them, and when you paid, the shop attendant would send them down a slide to you.
Pictured: the wack-ass tree, puggles on the ceiling waiting to be adopted, and a fruggle on the ground. There were also those possum things but I forgor what they were called. Everything came with a little lore card. Puggles and fruggles came in all different sizes, and EVERYONE coveted the huge puggles, but who has that kind of cash to throw around??
Additionally, puggles had whiskers! But due to them being toys, they'd fall off or get pulled out. They were filled with stuffing and some bean type material to give them weight (similar to beanie babies). You could absolutely huck one of these bad boys at your friends.
