Gorthar the Roaring Guardian is a massive Minotaur champion captured in a moment of martial fury. Clad in ornate full plate armor and brandishing a dragon-scaled shield and a flaming greatsword, this Large-scale miniature is perfect as a high-level boss or an imposing player character.
A minotaur guardian lets out a terrifying roar as it prepares to defend its territory from intruders.
Acts as a major dungeon boss, a general of a monstrous army, or an elite armored champion in a high-fantasy setting.
