A terrifying fusion of predatory botany and cosmic horror, this Void Flower miniature features a nightmare array of lidless eyes and grasping tentacles. Its twisted, muscular form and jagged rocky base make it an imposing centerpiece for any encounter with the unknown.
A strange, extra-planar organism watches its surroundings with a dozen eyes while its tentacles search the ground for prey.
Mid-level boss or a dangerous environmental guardian in a high-magic or horror-themed dungeon.
