Command the hive with the Crawling Maiden, a stunningly detailed fusion of humanoid grace and insectoid terror. Standing at a massive 'Huge' scale, this miniature features a multi-segmented centipede body, jagged chitinous armor, and a commanding spellcasting pose perfect for a campaign-defining boss encounter.
A monstrous queen or sorceress lunging forward from her coil to ensnare or blast an interloper with magic.
This miniature is best suited as a boss or legendary encounter in a high-level campaign, perhaps as the queen of an insectoid hive, a corrupted druid, or a high-ranking lieutenant of a dark deity.
