This imposing miniature features a lethal combination of humanoid grace and insectoid horror, standing nearly 70mm tall. With its massive segmented centipede body, scythe-like back limbs, and menacing facial mandibles, it serves as the ultimate boss for any Underdark or hive-themed campaign. The dynamic, prowling pose captures the Maiden in mid-hunt, ready to strike with both claw and chitinous blade.
A monstrous hybrid predator rearing up to strike an intruder in its lair.
This miniature represents a significant boss encounter, likely a 'Queen' or 'Matriarch' of an insectoid hive or a corrupted high-level druid found deep in the Underdark.
