A breathtaking fusion of lethal grace and chitinous terror, the Crawling Maiden C is a centerpiece miniature designed to dominate the tabletop. Standing over 70mm tall, this four-armed horror features dual-wielded scimitars and massive crushing claws, perfect for representing a legendary hive queen or a corrupted guardian of the deep.
A monstrous queen rising from her coil to strike at intruders with both steel and claw.
A major boss encounter at the end of a desert temple or deep-earth hive, likely acting as a high-CR legendary creature with multiple attacks per round and possible reach/grappling capabilities.
