I have had this Killer Croc piece sitting around for a couple months, really wanted to do something with it (aside from it's intended purpose!). The other night I decided that I did not feel like sorting, and finally pulled the trigger with this guy, starting from the pile I was planning on sorting, before clearing the mess from the table and focusing on this. It was a fun challenge to fit the irregular shape into the terrain, but I was pleased with how it turned out.
Enjoy :)

The Tarasque is a fierce sea monster who lunges out of the Rhone on its six legs to eat people with its lion's head.
In Oblivion's End, the party runs into the most horrible abomination across all known worlds - the Tarrasque!

The Tarasque is/was a local "monster that eats people". In later works it looks more like a dragon; this one looks more like a wolf, and we wondered if there were some connection to la Bête de Averyon, who terrorized that nearby region in the mid-1700s.

While Halaster is atop the tarrasque, he is way harder to hit, and still it didn't save him: The vampiress has managed to bite him and won't let go. And now Phoebe also has him wrapped up in vines. She even called forth a succubus, whom we saved during one of our earlier battles. All to distract Halaster.
The situation up there is anything but pleasant. Halaster is surrounded by a maelstrom of destructive energies, tearing at the vampire and the dryad. The vampiress is missing an arm, Phoebe her wings, the succubus is slowly torn apart, but we hold on to Halaster. As long as we keep him distracted, restrained, drained and finally helpless, he will be unable to stop the ritual. So we sacrifice all we can. And screaming and cursing he finally loses all control over himself.
And when this finally happens, it is time to call for help: Lord Thanathos! And if Bane himself cannot murder Halaster, who else could?

La tarrasque (o tarasque) è un mostro mitologico che, secondo la leggenda, avrebbe devastato la Provenza, una regione francese. Nell'iconografia popolare, la tarrasque ha sei zampe tozze e robuste, il corpo coperto da una solida corazza simile a quella di una tartaruga con sopra una cresta e vari aculei ossei. La lunga coda squamosa si conclude con una protuberanza cornea a forma di punta di lancia, mentre la testa è quella di un leone. La leggenda vuole che la Tarrasque fosse originaria della Galazia, patria del mitico Onachus, un mostro capace di bruciare qualsiasi cosa entrasse in contatto con il suo corpo, e che proprio dall'unione tra l'Onachus e il Leviatano, fosse nata la Tarrasque. Quest'ultima giunse in Provenza, nei pressi del villaggio di Nerluc, dove imperversò nella regione uccidendone gli abitanti e devastando ogni cosa. Marta di Betania, assieme a sua sorella Maria di Betania, raggiunse le coste provenzali nel 48, in seguito alle persecuzioni in patria. Più precisamente approdarono nella zona della Camargue, nel paese attualmente chiamato Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Qui la zona era infestata dalla Tarasque, un mostro che, uscendo dalla sua tana situata nel letto del fiume Rodano, devastava le campagne. Venne ammansito da Santa Marta grazie alla preghiera: ad ogni Ave Maria recitata il mostro si rimpiccioliva in dimensioni. Quando divenne completamente innocuo, Marta lo condusse nella città di Nerluc, che ora (in onore della Tarasque) ha preso nome Tarascon, nel cui emblema è presente l'immagine della creatura mostruosa. Qui però i cittadini uccisero la creatura. Ancora oggi l'uccisione della tarrasque è celebrata a Tarascon l'ultima domenica di giugno.
A fiendish behemoth of impossible size, the Tarasque devours anything and everything in its wake! Lion's head, goat's horns, armored carapace, six arms, a wicked spiked club for a tail... this monster has it all!
The Tarasque figure stands 5 1/2" (13.97 cm) high at the shoulder, and measures approximately 11" (27.94 cm) long. The carapace is layered felt, leaving the arms and neck quite poseable.
The Tarasque figure is of excellent scale to interact with Chenille Macabre miniatures (sold separately)... but he's of even BETTER scale for 25mm gaming miniatures- just for all those Game Masters who enjoy throwing tarasques at their players. ;)
A Dragonne is a fancy little beast that is somewhere between lion and brass dragon. More importantly, it looks like a TON of mythological monsters and heraldric symbols without actually being any of them! Is it a manticore? A shedu? A lamassu? A chimera? A dragon? The Tarrasque? Who knows!
It's actually one of the nicest-looking minis, aesthetics-wise. This is probably mostly because of that metallic sheen.
