Defend the deep tunnels with this stout Molefolk warrior, featuring a unique overhead shield-guard and a heavy-duty pick-hammer. From the specialized digging claws to the herb bundles on its belt, this highly detailed miniature is perfect for representing a subterranean sentinel or a quirky underground explorer.
The mole-warrior hunker downs behind its shield, bracing for a heavy blow while keeping its hammer ready for a low counter-strike.
A sturdy subterranean guard, a specialized tunnel-fighting mercenary, or a player character for a homebrew burrowing race.
