This imposing Helhest miniature captures the terrifying Norse legend of the three-legged herald of death. Featuring a detailed skeletal frame, tattered feathered wings, and a rider-ready saddle, this gargantuan undead pegasus rises from a base of swirling spectral mist.
A death-dealing winged steed descends from the clouds, prepared to carry a dark rider into battle.
An elite mount for a Death Knight, a high-level necromancer's personal transport, or a legendary creature haunting a battlefield in a horror-themed campaign.
