Wielding a jagged double-bladed staff and armored in natural chitinous plating, this Huge-scale miniature serves as the perfect centerpiece for any high-level boss encounter or dark fantasy collection.
A monstrous queen shrieking a battle cry or commanding her swarm as she prepares to strike with her heavy blade.
A final boss for an Underdark-themed dungeon, a faction leader for a monstrous hive, or a legendary encounter in a dark forest or cavern.
