A crouching gargoyle in two-tone gray fur, dark at the roots and silvered at the tips, with two short smooth horns on top of the head and wide pointed ears standing out to the sides. Two dark bead eyes sit above a wide stitched grin with a small white fang at each corner, a tuft of longer, darker fur hangs under the chin, and long arms reach down to rest on the ground. Turn him around and two wings spread wide across the shoulders, with a long bushy tail curling up between them.

Jellycat lists him at 6.3 x 4.3 x 4.7 inches with a sitting height of 6 inches, and its size chart prints 6.2 inches, 16 cm. The fur is 92% polyester and 8% acrylic. Fiber filling gives him his bulk, and a pocket of PE beans low in the body lets him crouch on a mantel or a bookshelf without tipping. Hard safety eyes, and Jellycat grades him for 12 months plus because the long fur can shed.

Jellycat writes Growlston as the doorman you can count on: always at the entrance, rain or shine, greeting everyone and never once enforcing the list. Stand him at the end of the shelf as the bouncer for Broox Bat and Mysti Ghost, or pair him with Skeleton Bob, bones beside fur.
