This imposing armored guardian is shrouded in mystery, his head completely bound in bandages while three eldritch eyes upon his shield peer into the souls of his enemies. Draped in heavy plate and carrying the trophies of fallen foes, he is the perfect centerpiece for players seeking a grimdark hero or DMs needing a terrifying elite sentinel.
A heavily armored guardian, eyes covered by bandages, stands vigil at a forbidden gate.
This miniature serves as an elite dungeon guardian, a mid-level boss in a horror-themed campaign, or a high-level player character such as a Paladin of a dark or mysterious deity.
