- Exclusive Manticorb Makeship Plushie available for a Limited Time! - 22 May 2023
To celebrate our last major content update and the journey we had with Monster Sanctuary, before moving our focus to our next game Aethermancer, we organized another plushie campaign with Makeship! Some time ago we asked our community which Monster they'd like to see if we happened to do another Makeship campaign. ...and here it is now: Manticorb! The elusive Manticorb is the ideal companion for both fighting predators and snuggling at home! Its thick, fluffy coat cannot only absorb errant Mana to be cast from the tip of its tail like a wand, but is also incredibly fluffy and soft. The plushie campaign is already funded, that means you will definitely get your ordered plushies. But this is a limited campaign and you don't have much time anymore. Order Manticorb Plushie here: Makeship With how great Blob and Catzerker have turned out last year, we are very happy to have Manticorb join ou…

- 3 days left for our crowdfunded plushies - 3 August 2022
We have a limited edition campaign for Monster Sanctuary plushies happening right now! You can get your own Blob and Catzerker, made by Makeship. The way the campaigns work is like crowdfunding: These plushies will only go into production if a certain number of them gets ordered during the campaign. If the campaign goal doesn't get reached, the plushies don't get produced and you don't have to pay. So there is no risk involved for you! If funded, plushies will be shipped worldwide end of October. Gelatinous, amorphous, transparent, semi-solid, slimy - and now - plushy! Order Blob here: Blob Plushie These courageous feline creatures roam the mountains of the Sanctuary for wild beasts to slay and are now ready to protect you in the real world! Order Catzerker here: Catzerker Plushie Our very first Monster Sanctuary plushies are almost funded, help us reach the goal! There are only three d…

So, help us make these plushies happen and get yourself a new companion! Blob Plushie Catzerker Plushie
