"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.
"His pipes and the sounds of battle blend in fearful harmony."
Eh. I would have preferred it if the quote said,
"Hi, I'm Mr. Tumnus! It's time to dieeee!"
Saying that in a falsetto is a great way to get peopel up and awake in time for a wedding, I tell you!
*ahem*
In-game, he gives you more spawn points for the next round.
Same scale, but the Shemhazian is cheaper.

He has kind of a carapace!

Granddaughter of Baba Yaga, this ice witch does not know how to "Let it go." She's from Pathfinder's Reign of Winter.
This, my friends, is the only D&D miniature to be banned from competitive minis play! The Drider Sorcerer had one spell, Baleful Transposition, that could swap the positions of different pieces, and made the game an unfun quagmire. But hey, only one banning is pretty good for like 7 years of sets, isn't it?
More on just what Driders are sometime in the future when I upload pics of others. Suffice to say, they are what happens when mommy dark elf and daddy spider love each other just a little too much.
It turns out that you can underestimate anybody. Mites have tamed and mastered giant spiders to use as mounts, which makes them surprisingly more intimidating.
One of the most powerful and devastating beings to ever come from the Realm of Shadow, the Nightwalker leaves nothing but chilled death in its wake.
"Arson is his vocation. Self-immolation is just for fun."
*ahem*
ARSON DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY
ARSONISTS GENERALLY DO NOT LIKE TO BURN THEMSELVES TO DEATH.
Well, I guess it's better than the original idea for this figure, "Buddhist Protester."
Anyway, the Arsonist was one of a very small number of figures who could wipe out locations. For obvious reasons. He's actually fully-sculpted under all that fire, but I've never taken the time to break it off and see.
The only devil less fortunate than a Lemure, Nupperibos are incapable of eating the things they put in their mouths.
Massive beings of pure shadow, Nightwalkers carry the atmosphere of the very plane of Shadow wherever they go. Some are formed when particularly evil mortals die and refuse to pass on, while others are born from the dark energies of their home plane itself. A Nightwalker can kill with just a touch, and even standing near one is harmful.
Introduced in 1985, as of the 3rd edition of Dungeons & Dragons Nightwalkers are officially "huge" size.
The Nentyar are a race of spritely tree-people, closely-related to Dryads, except far more civilized. They carve bows and arrows from trees they themselves grow.
"When the sultan dances, you must join in."
Ganesha, is that you? No? Oh, okay. You just looked like this guy I know. Big blue elephant. Hindu god. Would've been pretty offensive if you were him, you know. But nope, you're just the Thunder Sultan, who is in no way related to Ganesha.
I used this figure for the same reason as the Voodoo Manipulator - Voodoo could move unengaged enemies, and the Sultan could move engaged ones. Having them both around meant more screwage of my opponent's team.
And he very definitely is not Ganesha.
