This detailed Tiefling Merchant miniature perfectly captures the essence of a seasoned planar traveler, equipped with goggles, a trusty mallet, and a pack overflowing with gear. Whether acting as a quirky quest-giver or a reliable artificer companion, his mischievous grin and well-worn equipment add immediate character to any tabletop encounter.
An experienced merchant or storyteller is mid-sentence, perhaps haggling over the price of the goods at his feet or regaling travelers with a tale of his exploits.
Best used as a non-combatant NPC, a shopkeeper encountered on the road, or a low-level utility-based quest-giver who might assist with repairs but would require protection in a serious fight.
