This imposing Merrow warrior is sculpted with a powerful muscular physique and a long, spiked serpentine tail. Armed with a heavy trident and featuring terrifying facial barbels, this miniature is the perfect elite adversary for any aquatic or coastal encounter.
A monstrous guardian of a sunken reef coils its body, readying its trident to strike at any divers who venture too close to its lair.
An elite guard for an underwater temple, a champion in a Merrow raiding party, or a wandering predator in a flooded dungeon corridor.
