Maybe it's because one of them is a poetry-writing teal elephant who had a column in his local newspaper. Whatever draws you in, we have everything you need — from the iconic Mila to seasonal variants, sub-line formats, and the newer squad additions you might not even know exist yet.

Key Takeaways
-
Mila the Grey Elephant is the flagship Squishmallow elephant and has been part of the lineup since 2017, available in multiple sizes and sub-line variants.
-
23+ elephant characters exist across squads, including the Zoo Squad, Valentine Squad, Baby Squad, and seasonal holiday releases.
-
Elephant Squishmallows are generally common, but seasonal variants can sell out fast — buying from authorized retailers at MSRP beats the resale market every time.
-
Authenticity matters: genuine Squishmallows have two tags, a QR code (post-2021 models), and the signature marshmallow-soft spandex texture — fakes fall short on all three.

Elephant Squishmallow Sizes
Elephant Squishmallows are available across the standard size range — from 3.5-inch clip-ons to the giant 24-inch plush. The most popular size for collectors is the 8-inch, which offers the widest character selection and fits easily on any shelf.
If you want a full breakdown of every size tier and how they compare, our Squishmallow sizes guide covers the complete range, including sub-lines like Squishville, HugMees, and Stackables.
A few things to note:
-
Stackable Mila is measured and designed with a flat bottom for display stacking — great for smaller spaces
-
Hug Mee Eli is measured toe-to-head rather than bottom-to-top, which means the size listed differs from standard round Squishmallows
-
Squishville Diego is the mini 2-inch format, made for playsets and display rather than cuddling
Care Instructions
Bringing Mila the Elephant to all your adventures shouldn’t be a problem since she can survive inside the washer.
Do note to set the wash cycle to gentle and cold and put her in a roomy pillowcase before putting her in the washer to prevent her from being damaged.
Then, you can air dry her or put the dryer settings on low and gentle. Once fully dry, squish Emily to bring her back to her original form.
