Scrumptious!

—Shirley Shawn's catchphrase

This article is about the Wiggly Mascot. For the song, see here.

Shirley Shawn the Unicorn is a Wiggly Friend from The Wiggles. They are a colourful unicorn and their favorite word to say is "Scrumptious". They love to eat rainbow-coloured veggies and apples.

They were first introduced in 2019 on The Wiggles' Big Ballet Day album in their eponymous song. They were the first character to be inducted into the main group since Wags the Dog in 1995.

The way Shirley Shawn works is that the performer inside can see through the heart shaped nose. Plus, on top of their head, there's a vent so the performer can have some breathing space.

Official Description[]
