This Gnome Serow Rider is a masterfully detailed scout for any fantasy tabletop game, featuring a bearded ranger aiming a hand crossbow from the back of a shaggy mountain mount. With his signature antlered hood and rugged gear, he is the perfect representation for a mounted ranger, druidic guardian, or wilderness outrider.
A gnome scout or ranger is charging into an encounter, firing a crossbow bolt while their mount rears in excitement or reaction to a threat.
Standard wilderness scout, outrider for a gnome settlement, or a low-level hunter/ranger encounter.
