This massive Giant Snail miniature brings a sense of scale and slow-creeping dread to your tabletop. Featuring a highly detailed spiral shell and realistic pebbled skin texture, this Huge-sized creature is the perfect addition to swamp, forest, or dungeon encounters.
A massive gastropod pauses its slow crawl to lift its head and scent the air for potential prey or threats.
A slow-moving environmental obstacle, a tanky guardian for a damp dungeon or enchanted forest, or a non-aggressive but dangerous beast of burden.
