This huge-scale miniature features an intricate skeletal torso and a massive, ornate scythe, making it the perfect centerpiece for legendary undead encounters or high-level boss fights.
A manifestation of death itself or a powerful shadow horror emerges from the ground, preparing to sweep its massive scythe or cast a soul-rending spell.
Final boss for a high-level necromantic dungeon, a manifestation of a death deity, or a legendary wraith lord haunting a battlefield.
