Remember Snowflake, the world's only albino gorilla? Well, it turns out he was just related to the Girallons - four-armed albino gorillas! WHo are twice the size of standard apes! And really vicious! And sometimes team up with other monsters!
And that's how D&D treats wildlife.
Also known as Ugothols, faceless stalkers are mutated aberrations from another realm. Boneless and featureless, they can change their shape to resemble any human, and were in fact created by Aboleths to infiltrate into human society.
Well, that is imposing in the background!

Armed, armored, geared up, and ready to go! Rogue, cleric, sorceror, fighter! Seeing a Warforged cleric raises a lot fo questions about souls and gods, but it's not as weird as looking at a Warforged druid.
And dang, that guy has a big can opener.
Man, Gungans are BADASS! They shoot first, take names, and don't ask no questions, man! Far out! Groovy! Hep cats! The bee's knees! Wait, that's not right.
Anyway, this miniature is clearly based on Kleef, the Gungan bounty hunter from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Awww, look! it's Mommy Drow and Daddy Glabrezu and Baby Draegloth!
...I don't want to think about this one anymore than I have to.
Tiny Beholder! Well, no, the Eyeball monster is literally a Tiny Beholder (it's kind of the size of a kitten). Gauths are medium-sized, which means that they're kinda-sorta man-ish sized, like a large dog. They also have fewer eyes and eye rays, so they are Beholder Lite. In older editions, they fed on magic and had lots of tiny eyes surrounding the big one as well as mouth-tentacles, but this has been changed in newer editions.
I love Beholders.
Tlamexic is not a word!
The Tlamexic Battlelord was one of those early unique figures who were probably meant to be human Dream Lords, but existed before the concept really made it in. He's an Aztec Mummy-King, though, and what isn't awesome about that?
In-game, he gives his allies more power, and otherwise is non-memorable. But he looks awesome in any South American Stereotypical diorama!
“The troll shambled closer. He was perhaps eight feet tall, perhaps more. His forward stoop, with arms dangling past thick claw-footed legs to the ground, made it hard to tell. The hairless green skin moved upon his body. His head was a gash of a mouth, a yard-long nose, and two eyes which were black pools, without pupil or white, eyes which drank the feeble torchlight and never gave back a gleam.” -Three Hearts and Three Lions (Poul Anderson, 1961)
Ancient, terrible, and evil, these titanic beings of shadow and negative energy seek to rule the dark realms of undeath. Their touch is lethal, their aura is cold, and they are truly deadly.
"Like its viking-ship forebears, its arrival in battle usually means destruction for its opponents."
I love this figure. I absolutely love it. It's a living viking ship's figurehead! And it has one of the awesomest abilities ever! If you activate its special (takes two specdials coming up on the dice), you can remove one enemy with life 11 from the game. This is different from killing it - a killed figure gets a deathblow. It goes into the graveyard. From the graveyard, it counts to lower its allies' spawn costs, it can be rsurrected, and it might even have an ability that activates while in said graveyard. If it's annihilated, it is gone. Totally. Helps nothing. Counts for nothing. Goes right back in the box. And 11 is actually a pretty high score for life, too. But Wait, There's More! This ability is even separate from assigning damage, too! Therefore you STILL get to use the damage you rolled to crush your opponents, as well!
So yes, I've used this figure fairly well. It wasn't my BEST, but it certainly showed up in my little army quite often.
Blood Hulks are a specialized kind of zombie, pumped so full of blood that they are stretched nearly to bursting, bloated, horrible undead monsters that can achieve feats of impressive undead strength. There's also kind of a contest among necromancers as to who can make the biggest, most overfilled blood hulk possible! The current recordholder is roughly the size of a house.
An Abrikandilu demon lives to destroy art and all things that are beautiful, replacing them with filth and refuse. They also break mirrors.
A devious predator native to hell, their flaming blood, and thus they themselves, can only be seen in dim light.
Just because ONE minotaur on ONE island lived in ONE labyrinth, they've got to deal with a stereotype that will haunt them forever. When will the racism end?
"Loyal unto death and beyond."
I love dogs. I would love this dog, too. I am apparently the prime demographic for Tim Burton's Frankenweenie.
*ahem*
The Canis Horribilis, in Dreamblade, can be swapped for any dead creature of yours that has roughly the same point cost. Never used it.
INSERT CATDOG JOKE HERE.
“Life cannot exist without death just as death cannot exist without life. Imagine, then, the pile of corpses required to raise the nascent foetus of a god.” -Acererak
The most poorly thought-out miniature ever!
So, the Galeshi are a desert sub-group in the Black Powder Rebels faction in Mage Knight. And, uh, this is one of their sun-worshipping holy men. Who just happens to look like a certain violent revolutionary from another desert religious faction in recent yeeaaaaaghaghbblblblblble.
The thing is, this figure came out in 2003. THEY HAD NO EXCUSE. This picture will exist as a finger of SHAAAAAME. And hey, it's Halloween.
Just a small fragment of the arachnid drow goddess, she nevertheless believes herself to be the true Lolth.
MURDEROUS BERSERKER:
"The flux holding the dreamscape together also fuels his rage."
Eh. His special ability does bonus damage based on the value of the space he's in. That doesn't matter. What matters is what an awesome Jotun frost giant this fellow is - the simplistic paint job only makes it better! Every time I look at this figure, I think of Ragnarok.
Water Elementals are terrifying - if you think about it, they are completely invisible in their own natural habitat. Completely amorphous creatures, as long as they can manipulate a set amount of water, they cna do anything - and they can easily branch out to ice or even steam!
Crazy, isn't it? Eberron Drow worship scorpions instead of spiders, and thus, rather than half-spider Driders, they become Scorrows. Beware their sting!
...When Pigs Fly!
Nalfeshnees kind of resemble gigantic pig-gorilla demons, and their teeny-tiny wings are perfectly suitable for flight. They serve as jailers, torturers, and slave drivers. They tend to categorize everything in three categories: Fit To Eat, Fit To Use, and Fit To Serve. If you are Fit To Serve, then the Nalfeshnees become hilarious little brown-nosers. But then, they also might be planning to Use or Eat y, so there's that.
Vile demons that bloat themselves with consumed souls, Solamiths tear off pieces of their own body to harm others.
The fruits of a horrible union between a Drow and a Glabrezu demon (remember those!), Draegloths are wild, feral mutants, useful mostly as attack dogs. But they're really GOOD attack dogs. Some Draegloth are smarter than others, and those ones can gain social status - more than a few have been villains in D&D novels, for example.
