Roper
One of the original D&D monsters from waaaaaaaay back in the 1970s, Ropers are a fine example of Cruelly-Disguised Things. From a distance, they look like stalagmites. Up-close, they look like stalagmites. At any given moment, though, a Roper may open its eye and grab you with its tendrils, dragging you into its toothy maw. The Roper was also included in the old D&D action figure line years ago, though it was interpreted as a yellow-and-blue six-legged slug beetle. Ah, well. The Roper is honestly one of my favorite classic monsters, and this miniature manages to demonstrate why.
