Some of the most terrifying terrestrial creatures, Purple Worms are titanic and their appetites are voracious!
Not to be outdone, Pathfinder said "Well, if D&D Lamiae aren't the same as the mythical Lamia, we'll play around, too!" Lamia Kuchrima are vulture monsters that aren't even related to other Lamiae.
SILLY WILLY NILLY BILLY.
Anyway, today's updates are ALL THE LAMIAE. Except for one more Pathfinder variant, which is like the giant Harridan, only a rotting Frankenstein mess. Enjoy!
In D&D, there are a bunch of demon lords, but three stand higher than the rest - Orcus, the GINORMOUS BALROG, Demogorgon, the TWO-HEADED TENTACLE MONKEY, and Graz'zt, the inspiration for Nightcrawler.
Actually, wait. Other way around. Nightcrawler came first. GWIZWOAUAHP?!?!!?
More subtle than other demon lords, Graz'zt uses seduction to corrupt, rather than just smashing through everything in sight. Although, if it does come down to a fight, he does have the Wave of Sorrow, an insanely powerful curvy sword. And that's not a metaphor, even if he's fathered enough illegitimate kids to give himself an army.
Servants of the Kraken soon find themselves transformed in terrible ways!

Grim, morbid, but practical, cadaver collectors are a specialized kind of construct that sweeps battlefields after the fact and gathers up bodies so they aren't left to rot in the open air. Of course, it's only natural that some people would reprogram a few to help graverob...
...The paint master of this mini had a LOT of blood on it, but they removed it for budgetary reasons. It's fine either way, though.
Although it is a curse, the Evil Eye gives Fomorians a terrible withering gaze with which they can spread disease and pain.
"Ye who hold the razor's blade
Forged of darkest iron
Quenched by blood and fear,
Know that ye hold the key
To the one who guards
Bhaal's sacred murdered tear."
-The Genie's Poem
Blackrazor, the Sword of Souls, is a sentient weapon that protects and empowers its wielder... and encourages them to indiscriminately slaughter everybody possible. It appears in the super-classic old adventure, White Plume Mountain. This mini is based on some art -and was designed by Jason Lioi, who earned the privilege by winning the D&D Miniatures tournament at Gencon one year. Awesome, awesome choice!
Even if the human looks like Beaker from the Muppets.
Chimerae in Dungeons & Dragons swap out the snake head for a dragon head. This one is part White Dragon.
I present to you something unique! A Dreamblade figure that became a Dungeons & Dragons monster!
In Dreamblade, the LOYAL SCRAGGLEMAW is:
"Once you meet a scragglemaw in your dreams, it will always return to you. For some, that's good news, but not for all."
No special abilities, but pretty solid stats.
In Dungeons & Dragons, THE TORRIAN:
Torrians are an ancient leonid humanoid race that served in a long-gone city. They can regenerate and turn invisible, but are not distinctly evil. You can find them in the Revenge of the Giants module.
Pretty weird, huh?
Sightings of this odd creature started in the 1890s in Wisconsin. Supposedly, it was killed with dynamite, but people are always on the lookout for more!
The Lord Of No Mercy, Mephistopheles is one of the chief of D&D's archdevils, and lord of the icy realm of Cania. He, like most of the other archdevils, is an EXTRAORDINARILY generic devil dude.
The name Mephistopheles seems to have come from Faust as an original name for the devil or a demon, and quickly bled into popular culture - so quickly, in fact, that Shakespeare references him once! But no, there is no Mephisto anywhere in the Bible at all, in case you were wondering. None!
The Strix are often mistaken for demons. Although this is untrue, they have developed antipathy toward humans as a result.

Not tied to any one particular adventure, Shuluth is an epic-tier Mind Flayer introduced as an example of how to make an epic, legendary bad guy in the rules. Since his introduction, he's made cameos around the D&D web site and in miniatures, but has yet ot really find a place in canonical lore. His story makes him less of a scheming mastermind and more of a survivor - Shuluth has defeated many, many teams of Illithid hunters, and has dedicated his life to taking down anybody who thinks they can kill a Mind Flayer.
Wow, he's actually kinda sympathetic. I'm sure that's a great comfort when he's eating somebody's brains.
"Youz gonna wanna come ovah and talk to my friend there."
This interesting fellow made it on the box art for his set, Night Fusion. His art looks better than the paint job on the figure, but the idea is pretty solid.
A demon mobster, and most assuredly a Made Man. Oh, my!
His special ability involves intimidating enemies to move closer to some of his more ferocious allies. Which will then probably "take you for a ride."
...It's what's in it!
Sorry about the low resolution - I lost the original. I might retake this one in the future.
One of the most famous D&D villains of all time and possibly the biggest draw to Dragonlance (well, it's certainly not kender!), Lord Soth is basically Darth Vader. A former Knight of Solamnia, he now survives as an undead Death Knight, and serves Takhisis, the evil dragon goddess (Tiamat). His exploits fill books. BOOKS! BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soth's popularity eventually transported him to the Ravenloft setting (albeit illegally, without permission from the copyright holders), but he was eventually brought back to Dragonlance, and then just sort of fizzled until a writer decided to let him die with dignity. So, to complete the Darth Vader parallel, Soth turned good, became mortal, and died redeeming himself.
Somewhat weird how, for years, our only mini representation of the Zeus-Poseidon Storm Giant was this. Great-looking figure, though.
You're walking down the streets at night, and something seems to shimmer in the darkness behind you. movement from an alley. Closer and closer. And then it coalesces just in time... to be the last thing you will ever see.
One of my favorite Mage Knight monsters (and the first I pulled from a booster. Technically my FIRST RPG MINI EVER), the Shadow introduced "Limited Invisibility" as a special ability. These tentacled horrors supposedly crop up in cities more than anyuwhere else, stalking and hunting defenseless people who are out too late.
Wait, look at what I just said. THIS WAS MY FIRST RPG MINI! Sort of. Someone gave ma mechwarrior promo first, but i didn't even know Mechwarrior WAS an RPG. So I looked up wizkids, and BAM! Mage Knight. And then BAM! D&D minis. And then BAM! Bankruptcy.
(So yeah, special keepsake category)
Soon, the waves shall come alive with the Kraken!

Aside from Bahamut's platinum self, these are the absolute best of the metallic dragons. Gold dragons are wise, noble, kind, and extremely powerful. They ALMOST resemble certain kinds of far eastern dragons, though their design really is european. A gold dragon is almost always going to be a party's ally, but if you ever have to fight one, beware - they are not only stronger than the fire-breathing red dragons, they are also much, much smarter.
And dang, awesome scales!
