This Giant Piranha Boss is a nightmare from the depths, featuring a massive, tooth-filled maw and heavy armored plating across its back. Poised in a dynamic lunging stance atop a splash-textured base, this 'Huge' scale miniature is the perfect apex predator for your next swamp or river-crossing encounter.
A massive, prehistoric-style piranha erupts from the waves to swallow an adventurer or boat whole near a sunken treasure.
A centerpiece aquatic boss, such as a river guardian, a mutant swamp king, or a predatory terror in a flooded temple.
