Taniwha Whakama - Soft Toy

Meet Whakama, the quieter soul of the taniwha world. In Māori tradition, taniwha are powerful guardians of land and water. Whakama carries that strength too… just with a gentler, more thoughtful vibe.

A little shy, a little watchful, but always brave when it counts, Whakama is the perfect companion for calm moments, cosy corners, and imaginative adventures. Fierce in legend yet wonderfully soft in real life, this taniwha is made for cuddles, comfort, and building confidence.

Unique, meaningful, and full of character, Whakama brings a touch of Kiwi magic to any bedroom or playroom.

Quiet strength. Warm heart. Ready for snuggles.
