A terrifying fusion of elegance and horror, the Crawling Maiden features a slender, four-armed humanoid torso atop a massive, segmented centipede body. Standing at a 'Huge' scale, this miniature dominates the tabletop with its intimidating back-blades and menacing spellcasting pose.
A monstrous queen or guardian of an insectoid hive prepares to strike or cast a spell at intruders.
This creature serves as an ideal dungeon boss, a guardian of a subterranean hive, or a corrupted forest deity in a high-level dark fantasy campaign.
