"When the stakes are high enough, even the forest goes to war."
The "Green Man" is a popular, ancient, and extremely pervasive art motif in Europe, dating back to who-knows-when, and representing all sorts of nature-based deities.
In Dreamblade, he has no special abilities whatsoever, and is merely some vanilla padding. Decent in a sealed match.
Also, I always thought a "Green Crusader" would look just like Al Gore.
One of the absolute lowest levels of demon, Dretches are slow, stupid, lumpy little creatures that really just serve as cannon fodder. They are better than Manes or actual demon vermin, like Abyssal Stalkers, but not by much. The good news (for them, not you) is, Dretches have a chance to upgrade if they prove themselves worthy.
Every so often when you tour a dungeon, you just have to stop and ask, "Okay, do they REALLY expect me to think that these statues aren't gonna try to kill me in a second?"
And then they do. They do kill you.
The Serpentfolk cherish knowledge of the arcane above all else, and know many lost and secret forms of magic.
Something new introduced about two-thirds of the way through D&D 3.5's lifespawn was the concept of Dragonspawn. Different from Draconians or Dragonborn or other dragon hybrids, these mutants were bred directly by Tiamat, and their forms vary from almost humanoid to one that looks like a spider crossed with a Black Dragon.
Redspawn Firebelchers are related to Red Dragons, but lack the intelligence of their kin. They behave more like evil dinosaurs, and their use is really more of mobile artillery than anything else. It vomits fire and lava like a walking flamethrower, able to spit more fire than yoru average Red Dragon, it's just not very smart.
The Blue Slaad, a Talon Slaad is very big, rotund (or cookie-monsterish), and has WOLVERINE CLAWS! Since slaads are creatures of chaos, their appearance can vary - notice how one is a round, spiny almost-frog-beast, whereas the other demands COOOOOOOKIES.
Look at those scales!

Also known as Amber Monoliths, these indestructible prisons contain motes of pure darkness, remnants of an evil beyond time and space. Although you cannot free or destroy them, they can offer you power. For a price. Do not fall under their influence!
Possibly the weakest mnsters to ever live, Flumphs at least get points for trying. They even have their own paladins!
When Pigs Fly...
...Great idea, poor execution. The poor Hog Fairy is one of the sloppier pieces in its set, though that means the other figures got to be better as a result. In miniatures games, the paint budget is spread along each rarity type, so there will often be a few duds in exchange for some real winners.
In-game, the Hog Fairy turns your 1s into ability rolls, and can escape from high-damage attacks, swapping itself with an unfortunate ally.
This was a potted plant in a different building.

One of Prince's Rejected song titles, Purple Chaos accidentally summoned Shoggoths to devour his name. The symbol he switched to was an Elder Sign to keep them locked away in the dimension beyond time.
So that's why he did it!
Nearly formless, Shadow Demons melt into the darkness to do their evil deeds.
Very obscure (ha ha!) among demonkind, Shadow Demons are nonetheless feared for their ability to strike terror into the hearts of men.
Likely inspired by the Lungthief Beetle from Dreamblade (it's in this photostream. Look it up), Runespiral Demons are strange little insectile creatures who operate best in packs, with magic chaining from runecarved shell to shell, much like a sort of chain lightning. They aren't very high in the hellish hierarchy (being essentially animals), but they can be quite useful in the proper circumstances.
Creatures of lava and flame, Magma Hurlers dwell within their own element, only surfacing to attack intruders. To do that, they vomit magma and throw it, easily burning away even the strongest of enemies.
"If you want to stop him, just kill him."
"Where there was one Bloodcut, now there are two."
The Raging Vanguard and Steelborn Lion are two of the "Bloodcut" animal-men in Dreamblade - one minotaur and one lioin-gryphon-thing. The Raging Vanguard (red minotaur) can move even when tied up by other enemies, and is extremely durable. The Steelborn Lion reinforces members of his sub-faction by spawning in a cell local to them. But they certainly look cool! And these was one more animal guy with metallic paint, too.
The armor brings water to life, creating this elemental guardian - and if only that base weren't part of the figure!
A race of strange monkeylike spider-creatures, Ettercaps herd spiders the way shepherds herd sheep. They live deep in the forest, constructing coccoonlike homes high in the treetops out of sight, and live their spidery lives out of sight of most people. Also, they'll web you up easily.
It's always good to have a spellbook on hand, especially when you subscribe to Vancian Magic, when you have to memorize your spells anew every day!
Even though his face isn't terribly well-painted, this is one of my favorite PC minis. Good costume, pose, and the book prop is a nice touch.
Somewhere between lesser demon and mid-level demon, Vrocks are fairly powerful and smart, but also willing to serve as beasts of burden for stronger allies. Aside from normal vulture powers (you know, magic spells, hellfire, devouring human flesh), they can also spread poisonous spores, and if there are five or more they can join in a circle for a dance-like ritual that just SLAUGHTERS people.
Sorry about the chipped paint on its beak - I got about three or four from this set, and they ALL ended up scuffing their beak paint before long. It's because of how much it sticks out. Easy to fix, though, if I ever take the time to do it.
Through the science of alchemy and the magic of necromancy, this artificial being can guard many an evil lab... even if it has the googliest eyes ever on its exposed little brain.
Ha ha, look at those eyes! Don't look at the syringes!
One of the least-useful but most-fun pieces in the game, the Infernal Bomber moves in a TOTALLY RANDOM DIRECTION every turn, only to help assist your local die rolls.
A game variant exists, "Drunken Dreamblade," in which each side fields a team of nothing but Infernal Bombers, and tries to play. Movement is only allowed if it's random.
