This hulking Mole Miner is a powerhouse of the deep, featuring a muscular sculpt and a massive two-handed pickaxe. Equipped with a candle-mounted helmet for dark tunnels, this miniature is perfect as a subterranean NPC, a laboring grunt, or a unique player character race.
A determined mole-folk laborer pauses for a moment during a mining shift in a deep tunnel system. Or, a subterranean guard stands ready to defend their claim with the only tool at hand: a pickaxe.
Subterranean laborer, tunnel sentry, or common monstrous humanoid grunt for cave-themed encounters.
