This stunning Ushi Oni Brood Mother is a masterpiece of monstrous design, blending the grace of a warrior with the terror of a giant arachnid. Standing nearly 60mm tall, she commands the tabletop with a massive serrated glaive and a menacing multi-legged pose, perfect for a climactic boss encounter in any fantasy campaign.
A monstrous queen of the web strikes from above, her front claws and massive blade ready to descend on an interloper.
A final boss in a cavernous lair or a high-level guardian of a subterranean temple. It can engage multiple targets simultaneously using its glaive and its raised striking legs.
