This chilling miniature captures a Norse Volva in the midst of a horrific transformation, her human form giving way to avian features and a predatory instinct. Posed in a menacing crawl with her jaw unhinged in a silent scream, she makes a perfect high-threat Hag or Cursed Spirit for any dark fantasy tabletop campaign.
A cursed seeress lunges out of the shadows of a burial mound, her jaw unhinged in a silent or magical shriek.
A mid-level boss or an elite ambush predator in a dark forest, swamp, or desecrated Nordic burial site.
