This massive, six-limbed horror lunges forward with a terrifying roar, perfectly capturing the primal aggression of a cosmic nightmare. Featuring a serpentine head atop a hulking, muscular frame, this Huge-scale miniature is an intimidating centerpiece for any horror or high-fantasy encounter.
A horrific serpent-spawned abomination bellows a challenge or roar of hunger as it prepares to strike from a low crawl.
A mid-to-high level boss encounter, likely the climax of a snake-cult dungeon or a terrifying guardian in a cosmic horror campaign.
