Every piece of one of these creatures is valuable for crafting and magic, but they are remarkably durable. They also scream in pain when you hit them, which makes many heroes hold back a little bit.
And you thought the Warforged Sorcerer was crazy!
When a robot goes native, he goes NATIVE. Severed heads, crab claws, bones... and I guess something to counteract the rust. This is actually one of the most-detailed warforged sculpts out there, even when you realize how awesome the other warforged miniatures are. So hey, cool beans!
These were originally monsters specific to Eberron who pre-existed Foulspawn, but soon got rolled into the category.
Dolgaunts are mutated hobgoblins, transformed into blind, tentacled creatures covered in cilia. They live underground, and often practice meditative martial arts - what better to do when you have so many limbs?
He's the biggest! He's the strongest! He's the boss! An orc chief takes no guff and shows no mercy, because any other way would end with the other orcs trampling him.
More than a simple Quasit, Gimcrak is the demonic familiar of none other than Areelu Vorlesh, creator of the Worldwound!
Forest-dwelling Green Dragons are known for their clever-yet-devious natures and poisonous chlorine breath. When they're young, they are about the size of a small horse, but still quite formidable.
"A jack-in-the-box is scary once, which is enough."
The very first of the "EEEEEVIL CLOWNS," the Jack-In-The-Box had very high stats for his cost, but if you attacked with him, he'd go right back in your reserves.
was part of the Janus sub-faction, made of figures with two faces. He kind of has an eye on the back of his head.
Also, for somereason he
A fearsome lord of Pit Fiends, Hutijin is known for two things: His unbreakable loyalty to Mephistopheles, and his utter hatred of the mortal world. He does his best to keep potential summoners from knowing about him, and when summoned Hutijin will just kill them. He's kind of a jerk.
Surprisingly similar to the Oboroguruma yoka - a haunted carriage representing somebody who died in a vehicular accident - the Wicked Carriage is one of the nicely freakir Anvilborn (machine) Dreamblade figures. Every round, it automatically swaps positions with an adjacent ally, and in combat, it disrupts itself in exchange for giving its allies more special ability triggers.
The King of the Trollhaunt Warrens has stolen an eye from the followers of Vecna. With his magic cauldron, he raises the dead!
These spirits look like floating skulls wreathed in a fiery aura. They probably steal your sword if you touch one, too.
Apparently it's possible for Mind Flayers to mess up making new Mind Flayers, and end up with hybrids (their usual way of reproduction involves implanted eggs and mutated host bodies). When mixed with lizardman DNA, though, these aberrations are somewhat accepted, often used as soldiers or guards. They also look like awesome, awesome Cthulhu spawn, and this mini can sub for Dragonlance's really silly neutered Mind Flayer variants.
The Drow spider-goddess, queen of the Demonweb Pits, and extremely overexposed famous villain, Lolth got a pretty big boost from all the drow-themed Forgotten Realms novels. But aside from those, she's an effective villain, even if you downplay the whole dark elf seductress thing.
Of course, Lolth's TRUE form is a spider. Not a drow, not a drider, but a complete spider. She tends to hold back on that one, since it scares people away.
"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said:
'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
-Isaiah 6:1-3 (NKJV)
Yes, Dreamblade made a Bible-accurate Seraph. This was very impressive of them..
Yeenoghu, foul Demon Lord of Cruelty, god of the savage Gnolls, wielder of a vicious triple flail... and he looks like Goofy.
When most people betray the heroic party, they gain a little bit of power and then die. Raistlin became a god.
With the power (and tutelage) of the archmage Fistandantilus, Raistlin's power increased exponentially. He donned his new black robes to evidence his irrevocable turn to evil, and his quest to usurp not only his old master, but all the world by becoming the god of magic (and evil). And in fact, he would have destroyed Takhisis and all of the other gods... but then Raistlin learned that if he were to continue his path, he would destroy the entire universe, and become the only living being left. Unwilling to do that, and having enough of a change of heart to want to protect his (former) loved ones, Raistlin bravely sacrifices himself to stop Takhisis.
The last photo was of Raistlin with his friends and allies. This one is of him alone, standing in the same terrain as before, only now desolate and uprooted.
Beholders come in many shapes, sizes, and forms. Beholders connected to the Plane of Shadow have extra powers linked to that darkness, and even limited control over death itself!
And so, the D&D version of this famous rooster monster ignores the reptilian details in favor of making it kind of a tiny possessed chicken thing. If real chickens looked like this, we would be sooooo afraid of them. Seriously, you could imagine this thing acting out most of The Exorcist, right there. And since Pazuzu is kind of bird-like, well, hey!
"She turns your hopes to stone."
Dreambade's version of Medusa was kind of... buxom. And her hard-to-trigger-but-totally-worth-it ability was exactly what you assume it was.
Opponent picks one of his pieces. Piece no longer exists in game. Medusa continues being disturbingly busty.
Far from being mere wish-granters, these creatures of air and the spirit world often travel hidden from the eyes of man.
The evil queen of the dragon gods, Tiamat is especially villainous because there is no good angle to photograph this mini if you want a good look at all of her heads! She has five heads, one for each type of Chromatic Dragon, representing her dominance over each breed. Tiamat is not only one of the strongest of the D&D archvillains (hello, she's a god), she even appeared in the old cartoon!
In ancient Babylonian mythology, Tiamat was the giant monster slain to produce the earth. She also probably wasn't a dragon, as her description made her sound like a cow, udders and all.
