BLAIDD

Blaidd is a wolf-headed knight and should be built with a sculpted fursuit-style wolf head (foam base with fur and painted teeth/eyes) worn over full plate armour rather than human hair or a wig. His armour is dark grey-blue plate with a flowing dark cloth cape, paired with a large sword prop, giving a hybrid beast-knight silhouette.

Fursuit heads require pattern-making and fur-laying technique most sewists haven't done before; budget for a commission if this is a first attempt.

• →Head base: commission from an established fursuit maker, or carve from upholstery foam using a fursuit-head tutorial.
• →Fur: Etsy/Distinctive Fabric or a dedicated fursuit-fur supplier — craft-store faux fur is too short-pile and reads flat.
• →Paws/feet: order matched to the head commission when possible so fur dye lots match.
• →Do not substitute a human wig — fursuit heads are built, not styled with wig fiber.
