Feeling a little…sluggish?

Futurama Brain Slug According to the academic resource Futurama Wiki, a brain slug is “a species of space parasite that attaches its jelly-like body to the skull, presumably the brain of a human, and controls them. The specimen is green in color and consists of a translucent jelly-like body complete with two feelers and one large eyeball…The easiest way to tell if someone is infected would be the Brain Slug mass which sits atop of their head.”

Should you wish to make someone think he is infected, just perch one of these crocheted Brain Slugs on his noggin. Hilarity is sure to ensue.

This project makes me think of another amigurumi project – Baby Monsters by Allison Hoffman, aka CraftyIsCool. I made some in red for co-workers for Valentine’s Day, and called them “Love Monsters“. Naturally they were a big hit.

    I made one of these last month for my boyfriend and he loved it! They are super easy to crochet up. I used felt on the bottom instead of wool as I ran out of my crazy green colour. Also, try attaching some wire into the feelers to make them stand up better. There are also patterns that show you how to put them onto headbands. As the boyfriend said, he has an instant Halloween costume now :)
