This unsettling miniature depicts a hunched Wood Witch burdened by a massive pile of kindling. Featuring eerie button-like eyes and tattered, flowing robes, she is the perfect addition to folk-horror campaigns or as a mysterious NPC deep within a haunted forest.
A weary or sinister forest dweller laboring under the weight of gathered timber.
A non-hostile NPC encounter, a forest-dwelling informant, or a weak supernatural harasser that relies on environment or trickery rather than direct force.
