Ever wanted to grind on an alien? Well, now you can.

I'm a resident writer, cat mom, and obsessive online shopper who is passionate about quirky pet products, home decor, size-inclusive fashion, and, above all, perfumes.

If you, like me before I started researching this topic, are about to ask yourself, "What is a fantasy sex toy?" — then take my hand, because I am sincerely elated to embark on this journey with you. Fantasy sex toys are where artistry meets kink. They're often hand-poured and molded by artisans with a true passion for what they do. And yes, these toys are often inspired by monsters.

Now, "monster kinks" are often stigmatized by the more vanilla corners of the internet, but listen...if you've ever enjoyed a "romantasy" book, felt attracted to Sam Reid's Lestat De Lioncourt, or wanted to be with Chappell Roan's mermaid situationship in the "Casual" music video...you might be closer to having a monster kink than you originally thought. And that ain't nothing to be ashamed of.

And if you're a complete freak (non-deragatory, ofc) who has already come to understand your own desire for Count Orlok (smash), then I am confident that a person of your refined tastes will want to add at least one of these magical machines to your collection. From fairy wands to reptilian dildos to fur-tailed butt plugs, there's a whole bunch of orgasms out there just waiting to be had, and they're otherworldly in more ways than one. 

A Wildolo glow-in-the-dark dildo with a design inspired by mythical sea creatures — so if you watched The Shape of Water and thought, "Hell yeah," this might be right up your alley. And the flared base, which is a suction cup that's weirdly but cutely (??) shaped like a starfish, makes it safe for either anal or vaginal penetration. 

Promising review: "This toy is sturdy, beautifully made, and the suction base is seriously strong — it holds up through intense use and stays put on smooth surfaces. The shape is really unique and imaginative, with just the right balance of stretch and texture. Perfect for anyone looking to explore something a little different. Highly recommend!" —Chai

A butt plug with a faux-fur tail for all of y'all out there who can thank Shakira in the "She Wolf" music video and/or Jacob from Twilight for kickstarting your sexual awakening back in the day. The plug has a flared base and is made of stainless steel, which is nonporous and therefore is *extremely* resistant to absorbing bacteria and odors. Plus, it's really easy to clean and sanitize, too.

Promising review: "Doesn’t fall out, fits and feels great going in or coming out, and looks sexy too! I never considered one but my friend mentioned it and well, I now secretly want a tail to look sexier!" —Effem 

A Geeky Sex Toys "Vibe Saber" complete with a six-color array of LED lights — but it doesn't just look cool; it also has 10 (!!) vibration settings to make sure that the Force can truly be felt. 😉

Promising review: "Shipped way faster than I expected and the box gave nothing away, which I appreciated. Opened it up and genuinely laughed at how cool it is." —S

A very large Umania dragon-inspired dildo that measures an impressive 9.8 inches in length (7 of which are insertable). It's covered head to...head to balls? Head to antennae? IDK, but it's entirely covered with satisfying textures from ridges to bulges to vein-like structures. 

Promising review: "This is honestly my favorite dildo. The ridges on it are perfect, it’s more on the stiff side but still bends very nicely. The size is amazing but does get very thick towards the middle and bottom. The suction is strong asf, I can go for a long while in the shower without it moving. If you’re thinking about purchasing just do it, you will not be disappointed." —C

A goblin stroker made with extremely soft and flexible silicone (Wandering Bard compares the feeling to a gummy candy) with a bumpy texture for an extra pleasurable experience. If placed under a blacklight, it also glows in the dark.

A cute little unicorn vibe with a curved design perfect for simultaneous internal and external stimulation. This magical machine has three vibration speeds and five different patterns — plus a "burst" mode you can activate with a double-click. It's also rechargeable and can run for up to 60 minutes on a full charge.

Promising review: "Best toy I ever used!! Performs better than the $120 toy I had!!" —Wilma Rudolph

A beginner-friendly tentacle tongue made with high-quality crystal glass. It has all sorts of textures to tickle your fancy. Reviewers recommend using a lot of lube for penetration and steering clear of inserting the "curly" end in any holes. 

Promising reviews: "This was a cute little toy to add to my collection. It is nice and sturdy and a pretty shade of pink. The texture is nice as well. I definitely recommend it for anyone who's into these types of things. 😜😍" —Kerri

"Very sweet and discreet packaging. It's shaped like a tongue and an octopus leg and is a pretty light pink color. Not as vibrant as the picture and was much smaller than I was expecting. The side that you actually insert is only about 3 inches. But nonetheless it was pretty and I enjoyed feeling the cold glass on me. Super easy to clean and beginner friendly." —Avina

An alien-inspired grinder for some truly out-of-this-world experiences — it features a whole array of unique and delightfully smooth textures. Depending on your anatomy, all those bumps and curves may also cause you to feel a bit of suction during use. It can also be used with a strap. 

Grinders like this one are meant to be, well, grinded on, and they can be used by anyone, provided you like the feeling of dry (or not so dry!) humping. 

Promising review: "As the first grinder I've ever purchased I was a little hesitant, but I'm so glad that I ordered! The sculpt is elegant and the pour is stunning, it's just so fun!" —H.E.

Get it from Creature Feature Toys for $75+ (available in four textures, six patterns, and 50 colors; also available in custom colors and with an added strap for an upcharge). 

A Crystal Delights Mind's Eye butt plug, because one person's body horror movie is another person's X-rated film. Um, Hello, David Cronenberg? I have a few ideas for your next monster...but you've gotta keep an open mind. 

This butt plug is crystal glass and features a flared base, which is where you'll find that lovingly handcrafted little eyeball. It's also compatible with all lubes, so good news if you have a preference between water-, silicone-, or oil-based lubes.

Get it from Crystal Delights for $199.95.

An iridescent, bestselling glass fairy wand that'll surely bring some spellbinding pleasure to the bedroom. It's got a beautiful (and sensual!) texture that resembles the wings of the fae. 🌶️🧚✨ If A Court of Thorns and Roses had you feeling a little...more than magical, go ahead and give this a whirl. 

It's also great for temperature play. You can warm it up with hot water or make it icy with cold water to intensify the sensations. Just be sure to check the temp on a less sensitive area before you get to playing. 

Promising review: "My wife loves the glass toys, and was wanting to try something new. We browsed A&E website looking for a vibrator or something along those lines, but she searched glass dildos and this popped up. Needless to say it was in the cart immediately. We like to play with the temperatures of these glass dildos and decided to warm this one up under some hot water. Within minutes of insertion, my wife was reaching her third orgasm. My wife loves the curve of the toy and the glass ribs that make her quiver with each thrust." —glasscouple

A set of three tentacle-inspired butt plugs, perfect for getting your bum accustomed to having stuff going inside of it. It comes with three sizes ranging from small to large, so you can get comfortable before moving on to partner play. But these don't have to just be a warm-up; reviewers say they're pretty good on their own, too. And if you wanna do some Handsome Squidward role-play with these, hey — that's your business. 🥴

Promising review: "Wow, the big one is big. But other than that, I like the texture and the thickness is awesome. Easy to apply lube to and easy to clean. No complaints from me." –A&k

A reptilian-inspired dildo with a suction cup base. The "spikes" along the shaft are actually soft silicone bulbs that apparently, according to reviewers, feel amazing. It can be used internally for both anal and vaginal penetration, as well as externally for some surprising sensations. Though, as one reviewer puts it, make sure to "use enough lube to complete the mission."

And if you've never thought about the genitals of the Argonians from Skyrim — you will be thinking about it now. Sorry and you're welcome. 

Promising review: "It looks very intimidating but it’s so worth it. You can really feel every bump of the shape. The size is perfect because it’s really thick. 10/10 would recommend." —Santiago

A 4-in-1 thruster that truly does encapsulate the entire vibe of the whole "monster cock" thing. It's big, it's colorful, and it's got a ton of features: It thrusts, vibrates, and can even be controlled hands-free by the included remote and even supports long-distance play via the Fyshavo app. But be warned — this thing is big. You might want to warm up with something smaller before you try this. 

Promising review: "Unbelievable! Love the texture it adds a lot to the experience. The suction is unbelievable it literally will hold almost anywhere you decide to have fun. Love the softness and flexibility it offers with not sacrificing any of its durability. Amazing thrust and vibrating actions and love that you can change it as you play. The app adds a whole new style. The length is something new to get used to if you're going to something this size. But once you can fully enjoy it it's unbelievable. If you're looking to experience something new or a new kink would highly recommend. At least for me it was well worth it." —Alex

Get it from Amazon for $39.59+ (available in three colors).
