Stepping out from the shadows of the undergrowth, this Shrewfolk warrior is prepared for any threat. Clad in a protective quilted gambeson and wielding a heavy spiked flail, this miniature perfectly captures the grit and determination of a woodland protector. Its detailed sculpt features a long, curling tail and a stoic expression, making it an ideal choice for forest-dwelling player characters or NPCs.
A stout woodland guardian stands his ground, ready to swing his heavy flail at any who threaten his burrow.
A low-level skirmisher, a determined village guard for a small-folk settlement, or a starting player character in a woodland-themed campaign.
