Continue crocheting around the body, incorporating the tail into the body's rounds.

Decrease for Body Shape:

Assembly:

Finish stuffing the amigurumi firmly.
Close the remaining opening with decreases.
Attach any additional features such as a keychain loop, crests, or cheek blushes with makeup for color detail.
