Bringing a Legendary Character to Life
A Dragon with Character
Meet Aodhán, the green dragon who can’t breathe fire — a friendly, slightly clumsy, but brave character created by Certa Ireland to connect with families and local communities across the country.
Case Study: Aodhán the Dragon for Certa Ireland
Our team transformed Aodhán’s digital concept into a fully wearable mascot suit using detailed 3D modelling and technical patterning.
To ensure both realism and comfort, the costume was developed with:
Separate head and body structure for optimal weight distribution
Visibility through the eyes, maintaining character proportions
Lightweight breathable materials (velboa outer layer + mesh interior)
Adjustable internal straps and cooling options for long wear durations
Safe rounded horns and soft fabrics, compliant with EU regulations
Every stitch, shade of green, and facial expression was carefully matched to Certa’s approved artwork to ensure visual continuity with their plush toy line.
The Matching Plush Toy
Alongside the mascot, we produced a 25 cm plush version of Aodhán, featuring the same facial expression, small wings, and embroidered eyes.
Both products were tested according to EN 71 / GPSR standards, guaranteeing complete safety for family-friendly marketing use.
The Result
The result is a mascot that perfectly represents Certa’s brand story — warm, positive, and community-oriented.
Aodhán quickly became a familiar face across Ireland, appearing at family festivals, community events, and charity activations.
A dragon who can’t breathe fire… but definitely warms hearts.
