This Basilisk Young miniature is a terrifying addition to any tabletop encounter, featuring a classic six-legged design and heavy natural armor plates. The detailed sculpt showcases a menacing dorsal ridge and a wide, armored jaw, perfectly capturing the lethal potential of a juvenile monster. Whether stalking the halls of a dungeon or a rocky mountain pass, this figure brings a sense of primal danger to the game board.
A young basilisk has sensed a presence and has raised its head to observe or prepare a gaze attack.
Ideal as a low-level boss or a pack hunter in subterranean or rocky environments.
