Abstract
A toy is used for play between two players who grasp and tug at the toy in an attempt to wrest the toy from the other player's grasp. The toy has a solid body with two identical lobes arranged on a long axis of the body on opposed sides of the body. The lobes each have a truncated ovate shape with a base, and the bases of the lobes proximate to each other. The lobes are rotationally offset with respect to each other about the long axis.
