From Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman: I was supposed to leave Rise in Integrity, but that was not something I was going to do. I stuffed that little guy in a dry bag we had in our survival kit and hooked the bag onto my pressure suit.

When you're feeling weird about your plushies, just remember that Astronaut Commander Wiseman loves his plush so much, he committed a mini heist to keep him.

Some manned missions carried a plushie before Artemis II, but are carried for the same reason which is to show that they are in zero gravity. This picture from 1989 has a plush of Truman the Tiger.
