Fantasy Dildos 101: How to Choose Your First Creature Toy
Unicorns, dragons, aliens, tentacles and toys that glow in the dark.. fantasy dildos are where pleasure gets a little more imaginative. Here's how to understand the different styles and choose your first creature toy without getting overwhelmed by all those horns, ridges and otherworldly shapes.
Fantasy dildos are one of the most playful corners of the adult toy world. With swirled unicorn horns, glowing alien shapes, and dragon-inspired designs, they turn "toy shopping" into something closer to a fantasy adventure. But with so many wild shapes, it's easy to wonder where to start.
This guide covers what fantasy dildos are, the main types, and how to pick the right first creature toy for you. When you're ready to browse, the full Creature Cocks collection is waiting.
What Are Fantasy Dildos?
Fantasy dildos, sometimes called creature toys, are dildos and vibrators inspired by mythical beasts, aliens, monsters and otherworldly creatures. Instead of a traditional shape, you'll find exaggerated textures, ridges, tentacles, horns, fantasy-inspired curves and vivid colors.
They're popular for solo play, couples' play, cosplay and role-play, and they're a fun option if you're curious about trying something completely different. If you'd rather begin with a more traditional look and shape, our realistic dildos are another place to start.
The Main Types of Creature Toys
Fantasy doesn't mean one specific shape or sensation. Here's what you'll find when you start exploring.
Classic Non-Vibrating Fantasy Dildos
These are the simplest to use and often the easiest place to start. There's no motor and no settings to figure out; the shape, size and texture are the main event.
Mystique Unicorn Dildo: A twisting unicorn-horn design in orange, blue and purple, made from silicone with a suction-cup base for hands-free play. It's also harness compatible.
Intruder Alien Dildo: An otherworldly design for anyone ready to give their toy collection an extraterrestrial twist.
Glow in the Dark Space Cock Alien Dildo: An alien-inspired toy with a glow-in-the-dark design that adds even more novelty when the lights go out.
Tenta Cock Dildo: A tentacle-inspired option made for anyone whose fantasy tastes lean a little more monster-core.
Thrusting & Vibrating Creature Toys
Want the fantasy shape plus more movement? Motorized creature toys add vibration, thrusting or both, creating a more active experience than a traditional dildo.
Dragon Thrust Thrusting & Vibrating Silicone Dildo: Combines dragon-inspired styling with thrusting and vibrating action for anyone who wants their fantasy toy to do a little more of the work.
Squirmer Thrusting Dildo: A creature-inspired thrusting toy designed for more dynamic movement.
You can compare more motorized options in our vibrating and thrusting dildos collection.
Squirting Fantasy Toys
Some creature designs lean fully into the fantasy with additional specialty features.
Resurrector Phoenix Squirting Dildo: A phoenix-themed fantasy toy with a squirting feature for anyone who wants to add another playful element to role-play.
Creature Vibrators
If the fantasy aesthetic catches your attention but vibration is still one of your favorite sensations, creature vibrators combine both.
Cobra Silicone Plasma Vibrator brings a creature-inspired design to a vibrating toy.
Tongue Lasher Vibrator offers another unconventional shape for fantasy fans who want vibration built in.
Creature Accessories
Fantasy play doesn't stop at dildos. The creature category also includes plugs, rings and other accessories.
Eye Of Spawn Vibrating & Squirming Butt Plug: A creature-inspired vibrating and squirming plug. Explore more options in our anal plugs collection.
Octo Grip Vibrating Silicone Cock Ring: A creature-themed vibrating ring designed for couples' play. You can also browse our full cock rings collection.
How to Choose Your First Creature Toy
The wildest-looking toy isn't automatically the right first toy. Start with how you actually want it to feel.
Start with a classic non-vibrating design so you can focus on shape, size and texture first.
Look at vibrating or thrusting creature toys for built-in motion and more layered sensation.
Look for a strong suction-cup base that can be secured to an appropriate smooth surface.
Check whether the toy is harness compatible and browse our strap-ons collection.
Start With Your Comfort Level
If you're new to fantasy toys, you don't have to start with the most elaborate creature in the collection. A classic non-vibrating option like the Mystique Unicorn can be a simpler introduction. Once you know which textures and shapes you enjoy, you can decide whether vibration, thrusting or other features belong in your next adventure.
Always Check the Measurements
Fantasy shapes often have ridges, curves, tapers and dramatic changes in width that can make their usable size feel different from a traditional straight toy. Don't judge by the product photo alone — check overall length, insertable length and diameter before ordering.
Size Tip
The Mystique Unicorn measures 8.3 inches overall, with an insertable length of 7.3 inches and a diameter ranging from 1.5 to 2.4 inches. Compare measurements against toys you already know are comfortable rather than choosing based on appearance alone. If you're intentionally looking for more size, browse our large dildos collection.
Decide How You Want to Use It
Once you've narrowed down size and shape, think about how you imagine using your new creature toy. Features worth looking for include:
- Suction Base: Useful for hands-free play on compatible surfaces.
- Harness Compatible: Helpful for partner play. Browse strap-ons for more options.
- Remote Controlled: Adds another interactive element to partnered play.
- Waterproof: Makes cleanup easier and may allow shower or bath use when the manufacturer specifically lists the toy as waterproof.
- Glow-in-the-Dark: Pure novelty.. and sometimes that's exactly the point.
Look at Material & Body Safety
Material matters just as much with fantasy toys as it does with traditional dildos. Look for body-safe materials such as silicone and review the individual product specifications before buying.
The Mystique Unicorn, for example, is described as being made from premium, phthalate-free silicone. Product materials can vary across the category, so always check the specific listing rather than assuming every creature toy uses the same material.
Pick the Right Lubricant
If you're using a silicone fantasy toy, water-based lubricant is the simplest compatibility-safe choice. Silicone-based lubricant can interact with some silicone toys, so check the manufacturer's recommendations before combining them.
Shop water-based lubes or browse the full lube and cleaner collection to find a formula that works with your toy.
Caring for Your Creature Toy
A little post-adventure cleanup helps keep your fantasy favorites ready for next time.
Wash the toy according to the manufacturer's care instructions after every use.
Use an appropriate toy cleaner when recommended for the toy's material.
Allow the toy to dry completely before putting it away.
Store toys separately when recommended for their material, and keep them away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
