Rule the darkness of the dungeons with the Warden of the Condemned, a chilling skeletal jailer who commands a pair of savage, rib-exposed flesh hounds. Dressed in a signature top hat and tattered duster, this high-detail miniature serves as a perfect boss encounter for gothic horror and grimdark campaigns.
A ghostly jailer patrols the darkness, barely restraining his savage hounds as they catch the scent of a prisoner.
A major encounter in a gothic horror or steampunk setting where the players must navigate both the Warden's tactical control and the raw physical aggression of his hounds.
