Uncover makes its fantasy silicone by hand in Hull, England, and gives a Shore number for each of its three firmnesses. Its own dildos run $69 in X-Small to $189 in X-Large, it makes 27 grinders as well, and US orders arrive with the duties paid, in 10 to 30 business days on Economy.
$69–$319
Uberrime pours platinum silicone fantasy shapes to order in Orlando within 5 to 10 business days and gives every firmness as a Shore number. The Bivius Demon Knot is $69 with a 1.79-inch knot, and the Phantasia beginner line starts at $49. No returns once it ships.
$45–$359
Fantasy silicone from stock with lab documents posted, a little under Bad Dragon size for size. Stocked colors come in Medium, and a fault must be reported within 72 hours.
Visit NothosaurAffiliate linkThe New Hampshire indie that turned the ovipositor into a product category, and still leads it. Platinum-cure silicone made in the USA in soft, medium or firm, custom colors on direct orders, and a few pieces on Amazon in fixed colorways for normal checkout. Dildos list from $55 (Manny) to $135 (Spelunker) before options.
Visit Primal HardwereDirect linkSmall indie shop where every pour looks like gallery art, and the whole catalog reads like a D&D monster manual.

Bad Dragon's Chance Unflared is where I'd start. It's the one I own, a medium in medium firmness, and its subtle ridge and gradual taper make it the easiest creature shape to get along with. Bad Dragon prices every creature by size, so a medium is $130 and a small is $95. Check the size table first, because Bad Dragon runs big. A medium Chance is 2.3 inches wide, twice the width of a Tantus Silk Medium, so if you're coming from a slim dildo, the small at 1¾ inches is the gentler start.
Rex is the other Bad Dragon I've had, and it's the one for a knot. Get it in medium firmness, because soft turns it into a wet noodle. If Rex's knot is more than you want for a first try, Uberrime's Bivius Demon Knot ($69) has a knot 1.79 inches wide, a third of an inch slimmer, and comes in a medium firmness. Nothosaur's Graemen is the werewolf take on a knot, with a pointed tip and rounded ridges, and its large ($99.99) has a knot 2.14 inches wide, close to a small Rex. Ovipositors belong to Primal Hardwere, the maker that made them a product, and its $60 Blip is the gentle way in. The Widget is Primal's small inflatable, a knot you pump up after it's in. The one inflatable I've used myself is Xomiy's Chironax ($139.99 in small), a centaur shape that swells gradually while someone else works the pump, though the detail stretches out as it grows. Pleasure Forge pours D&D monsters and sells them in Thursday drops. If you'd rather grind than ride, Uncover Creations makes grinders, and its Tentacle Grinder ($89) straps to a pillow or a thigh. Mr Hankey's pours denser silicone than any of them, but its main line is realistic, so it lives on the dildo ranking instead of this one.

Medium is 8½ inches usable and 2.3 inches wide, small is $95 and 1¾ inches. A subtle ridge, a gradual taper and four firmness levels.
A pointed tip, rounded ridges and an oversized knot. The large has a 2.14-inch knot on 6.1 inches, about what a small Rex gives you, and it comes in medium firmness only.
A 1.79-inch knot on 5½ inches of shaft, against 2.1 inches on a small Rex. Medium Shore 12A is the firmest of its four options, and it's made to order within two weeks.
A hollow silicone tube that lays gelatin eggs. 4½ inches usable and about 1.7 inches wide with an egg inside, the gentle relative of Primal's Squick.
A centaur shape, 8.1 inches insertable in small, firm enough to use deflated. It swells gradually and holds its air, but the detail stretches out as it grows. Medium is $189.99.
Coiled tentacles with ribbed texture and soft suckers, made to rub against rather than go in. Two straps with quick-release buckles tie it to a pillow or a thigh.

This ranking only takes makers whose main line is fantasy. Mr Hankey's pours fantasy pieces too, like the BFG, but its main line is realistic and it already ranks on the dildo and realistic pages. Its fantasy side is compared with everyone else in the fantasy dildo guide.
Every maker here gets a fantasy score from five parts: design and sculpt (30%), fantasy range (20%), silicone and honest listings (15%), value (15%), and shipping, returns and service (20%). Design is how the shapes are made and how they work, the tapers, knots and texture, and whether they're the maker's own. Range counts models, sizes, firmness choices and colors. A toy with gorgeous silicone still means little if it takes months to arrive and nobody answers when it's faulty, so the wait, the returns and the warranty count for a fifth.
Silicone comes first in our checks. Every maker on this list uses Body-safe siliconePure silicone with no fillers. It's nonporous, so it cleans completely, and "platinum-cured" on the listing is the best sign you're getting the real thing. More in the glossary, most of them call it platinum silicone, and a maker that can't say what its silicone is doesn't get listed. We also look at measurement honesty. Some brands inflate numbers or use camera angles that make everything look bigger than it is, while Uberrime, Uncover Creations and Pleasure Forge print the firmness as a Shore number and Bad Dragon gives usable length and width for every size. A maker that sits only on this ranking shows its fantasy score on its review too. Bad Dragon, Primal Hardwere, Uberrime and Nothosaur rank elsewhere as well, so their reviews keep their brand score.

Bad Dragon built the category with dragons, sea creatures, and alien anatomy. Primal Hardwere built its name on ovipositors instead, with tentacles and knotted inflatables around them. The designs aren't just aesthetic: tapered tips, textured shafts, and knots create sensations that standard dildos can't match.
Curved, flexible, often with suction cup details or undulating textures. These prioritize unusual internal sensation over anatomical realism. Indie makers on Etsy produce some of the most creative tentacle designs, though you need to verify the silicone is legit before handing over money.
A bulge near the base that stretches you on the way in and pops through on the way out. The sensation is polarizing: some people chase it obsessively, others find it uncomfortable. Bad Dragon Rex is the classic knotted model, and Bad Dragon itself calls that knot one of its more challenging. Start small and in medium firmness if you're curious. Uberrime's Bivius is a gentler first knot than any Rex, 1.79 inches across, and you can order it in a medium firmness. Uncover's Knot comes in five sizes, from a 1.6-inch knot in X-Small ($69) to a 3.9-inch one, and its own buyers advise ordering a size down. More about sizing up safely in the size-play category.
A hollow silicone tube you load with gelatin eggs at the base and squeeze out through the tip. Primal Hardwere made it a product, and its catalog runs from the Blip and the Squick at $60 to the Clyde and the G'lorp at $160. The eggs come from plastic molds, and spare molds cost $6 to $7. Primal's own advice is plain gelatin, which should melt with body heat if an egg gets stuck. It's a ritual more than a toy, and not a first purchase.
A knot that goes in small and grows. Primal's inflatables have a firm core and a soft skin, the knot folds against the core on the way in, and a hand bulb fills it once it's seated. The Widget (from $70) is the small one. Primal says three pumps is full, and more than that can damage the toy.
Not every fantasy toy goes in. A grinder is a sculpted silicone shape you rub against instead, and Uncover Creations makes 27 of them to order, from the Angel at $89 to the Oni II at $99 to $159, plus vibrating grinder rings worn at the base of a penis. If outside stimulation does more for you than penetration, start here.
Half the appeal of fantasy toys is the visual. Galaxy swirls, UV-reactive pigments, color-shift effects. Custom pours cost extra (Bad Dragon adds $20 for a marble and $40 for a fade), and the result is a one-of-a-kind piece. Bad Dragon does more with color than Mr Hankey's, and Primal Hardwere and Exotic Erotics also take custom colors on direct orders. Uberrime charges $12 for each color after the first, or $18 for a color-shift pigment. Pleasure Forge sells named colorways and has paused custom orders.

Fantasy makers list usable length and widths at several points. These are the two numbers that matter on a first order: how much goes in, and how wide the widest part is.
| Toy | Size | Usable length | Widest point | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bad Dragon Chance Unflared | Mini | 4.3 in | 1.2 in | $75 |
| Bad Dragon Chance Unflared | Small | 6.45 in | 1.75 in | $95 |
| Bad Dragon Chance Unflared | Medium | 8.5 in | 2.3 in | $130 |
 Bad Dragon Rex | Small | 6.5 in | 2.1 in (knot) | $95 |
| Bad Dragon Rex | Medium | 8.25 in | 2.63 in (knot) | $130 |
| Uberrime Bivius Demon Knot | One size | 5.5 in | 1.79 in (knot) | $69 |
 Uberrime Igneus Fire Dragon | Large | 8 in | 2.3 in | $109 |
| Primal Hardwere Blip | One size | 4½ in | ≈1.7 in with an egg | $60 |
 Primal Hardwere Squick | One size | 5 in | 1⅞ in with an egg | $60 |
 Primal Hardwere Widget | One size | 5 5⁄16 in | 2 3⁄16 in knot, 2⅞ in inflated | $70 |
| Xomiy Chironax | Small | 8.1 in | 2.2 in head deflated, 3 in at most inflated | $139.99 |
Read on bad-dragon.com and primalhardwere.com on October 24, 2026, juliettoys.com on October 25 and uberrime.com on November 9. The Chironax's sizes are Juliet Toys' own, which also says not to inflate the small past 7.5 cm (3 inches) wide. The widest point is the widest part that goes in: the shaft on the Chance, the knot on the Rex, the Bivius and the Widget, the base of the shaft on the Igneus, and the shaft with an egg inside on the ovipositors. Bad Dragon's prices are before options, and Primal's are starting prices. Bad Dragon adds $20 for a marble, $40 for a fade, $20 for a cumtube and $10 for a suction cup.

Size first, shape second. Pick something in the small or medium range with moderate texture. A heavily ridged knotted design at large size is not a starter toy. A medium Bad Dragon Chance Unflared is the solid first pick, and Rex comes next once you know you like a knot. Save Primal Hardwere for later, since its signature pieces are large and built for experienced users.
Firmness trips people up more than anything else. Medium (5 on Bad Dragon's scale) is the right call for almost everyone starting out. Soft looks incredible in photos but flops during use. Firm transmits every ridge without cushion, which gets intense fast on textured designs. Medium gives you detail with enough give to stay comfortable.
Budget $65-$130 for a quality small-to-medium piece. That's the real cost of hand-poured platinum silicone from a maker who isn't cutting corners. If that's too steep for a first experiment, Tantus offers a few non-realistic shapes in the $31-$42 range. Not as creative as the dedicated fantasy makers, but body-safe and functional enough to tell you whether you want to invest in a custom order. Use water-based lube with all silicone toys, and a soft toothbrush to clean textured designs.

Bad Dragon's Chance Unflared, in medium ($130) or small ($95). It's the one I own, and its gradual taper and subtle ridge make it the easiest creature shape to start with, in medium firmness. For a knot, Bad Dragon's Rex ($130 in medium) or Nothosaur's Graemen ($99.99 in large), or Uberrime's Bivius ($69) for a smaller first one. For ovipositors, Primal Hardwere's Blip (from $60). For a whole shaft that grows as you pump, Xomiy's Chironax ($139.99). For something to grind on instead, Uncover's Tentacle Grinder ($89).
Exotic usually means fantasy: creatures, knots, tentacles and ovipositors. The ones worth buying come from makers who pour platinum-cure silicone by hand, so Bad Dragon for creature shapes, Primal Hardwere for ovipositors and inflatables, and Pleasure Forge for D&D monsters. A $15 dragon on Amazon is almost certainly TPE or PVC, whatever the listing says.
Bad Dragon first, our 2026 Best Fantasy Brand. Then Uncover Creations for grinders and a big made-to-order range, Primal Hardwere for ovipositors and inflatables, Uberrime for shapes poured to order for a little less, Pleasure Forge for D&D designs, Nothosaur for stocked colors that skip the made-to-order wait, Exotic Erotics for lifecasts and Geeky Sex Toys for novelty. Mr Hankey's pours the densest silicone of all, but its main line is realistic.
For the same kind of creature shapes, Uberrime costs a little less at a similar size, turns most orders around in 5 to 10 business days and gives every firmness as a Shore number, though nothing goes back once it ships. Uncover Creations costs less than Bad Dragon at base price, makes most orders within 10 days and ships to the US with the duties paid, though Economy post needs 10 to 30 business days and a made-to-order toy can't go back. For ovipositors and inflatables, Primal Hardwere, whose FAQ says nearly all orders ship within 3 to 5 business days. For a shape from stock, Nothosaur skips the made-to-order wait on its stocked colors and posts lab documents for its silicone. Matched by measurements, its prices sit close to Bad Dragon's and slightly lower on the smaller toys, and a fault has to be reported within 72 hours. For denser silicone and more sizes, Mr Hankey's BFG, from $65.95. Our fantasy dildo guide compares all of them.
From the brands I recommend? Yes. Bad Dragon, Primal Hardwere, Uberrime, Uncover Creations and Pleasure Forge all pour platinum-cure silicone. The $15 dragon cock from AliExpress or Etsy? That's almost certainly toxic TPE with a fantasy shape. The real brands charge $55+ because platinum silicone is expensive. If it's cheap and fantasy-shaped, it's not real silicone.
Start with medium (5 on Bad Dragon's scale, or whatever the brand calls their middle option). Soft firmness looks amazing but it's floppy and hard to insert. Firm gives great texture detail but can be uncomfortable, especially with textured designs. Medium is the sweet spot for most people. You can always order a second one in a different firmness once you know what you prefer.
The silicone itself? Absolutely. The wait? Plan for it. Custom orders take 5-6 weeks, and the Ready to Ship toys only come in the colors and firmness already poured. If the wait is the dealbreaker, Primal Hardwere says nearly all its orders ship within 3 to 5 business days, Uberrime pours most within 5 to 10, Uncover makes most within 10 days though its Economy post from England adds two to six weeks, and Mr Hankey's takes orders any time and pours denser silicone. But if a specific Bad Dragon model speaks to you, the product quality does justify the price.
Start with something in the small or medium size range with moderate texture. Heavily ridged or knotted designs are better saved for after you know what you enjoy. A medium Bad Dragon Chance Unflared is the classic entry point, and Rex comes next once you know you like a knot. Primal Hardwere's signature pieces are large and built for experienced users, so save those for later. And pick medium firmness. I cannot stress this enough.
That's half the fun. Most fantasy toy makers offer custom color pours where you pick the colors and sometimes the pattern (marble, split, fade, etc.). Bad Dragon, Primal Hardwere, Exotic Erotics, Uberrime and Uncover Creations all take custom colors. Pleasure Forge has paused custom orders for now. Some indie makers on Etsy do them too, but verify their silicone is legit before ordering. A beautiful color pour on toxic material is still toxic material.
Same as any silicone toy, but you might need a bit more effort with textured designs. Warm water and antibacterial soap, work it into the ridges and crevices with your fingers. For a deep sanitize, you can boil them since they're solid silicone with no electronics. A soft toothbrush helps get into tight texture gaps. Full cleaning instructions in my toy cleaning guide.
Depends on what you're after. If you want something that feels like a human penis, go realistic with a Vixen Creations VixSkin. If you're curious about textures and shapes that don't exist in nature, start fantasy. Neither is more "advanced" than the other. Some people skip realistic entirely and go straight to fantasy. There's no progression path you're supposed to follow.
A bulge near the base that's wider than the shaft. Inspired by canine anatomy but the sensation is its own thing: the stretch and pop of getting past the knot is what people are after. Start with a small knotted design if you're curious, in medium firmness so the knot holds its shape. Bad Dragon Rex, Razor and Cole all have one; Chance has a gentler medial ring instead. Not everyone likes it, but the people who do really do.
