Big broad-chested critter that's kinda cute. Wookada sounds silly.

My interpretation here is basically it being an occult toy that grows to human sized, then absorbs intense emotions from you while being a cute silent guardian.

Scenario 1 is slow burn since you have to wait for them to grow.

Scenario 2 already has one fully grown, and it has a tantrum about something by blocking your door with its bulk and preventing you from leaving.
