This stoic Combat Shrew is a battle-hardened addition to any woodland tabletop army. Clad in a protective quilted gambeson and a heavy traveling cloak, he stands ready with a spiked flail and a sheathed sidearm for close-quarters encounters.
A seasoned small-folk warrior standing watch or preparing for a journey through dangerous territory.
A competent mid-rank soldier, a specialized skirmisher in a woodland-themed army, or a player character for a small-stature race.
