This imposing guardian wolf features a thick, highly detailed mane and an ornate Celtic-knot collar with a broken chain link. Captured in an alert, static pose, it is the perfect centerpiece for representing the legendary Fenrir or a powerful Dire Wolf guarding a frozen dungeon.
A massive, shackled wolf lies in wait, alertly guarding a threshold despite its heavy restraints.
This miniature is ideal as a mid-dungeon mini-boss, a guardian of a sacred Norse-themed site, or a high-level summoned beast for a druid or antagonist.
