This massive 78mm Astral Horror is the epitome of cosmic dread, featuring a terrifying vertical maw and a cluster of hollow organic chimneys erupting from its pustule-covered back. Its serpentine body and multi-jointed claws make it an imposing centerpiece for any tabletop encounter involving eldritch gods or alien invasions.
A monstrous hunter from another dimension lunges from the shadows to seize its prey.
Acts as a primary boss in a cosmic horror or 'Far Realm' themed dungeon, or a high-tier predator in a sci-fi gothic setting.
