Eastern Crimson Dragon (Shinkoryu) by DM Stash

Before the temple bells could ring their warning, the great serpent Shinkoryu had already coiled itself around the pagoda — and opened its eyes.

• ✔ Display-scale miniature — larger than standard 32mm gaming scale
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime
• ✔ Equally suited to display shelves and the gaming table

Shinkoryu is no hoarding mountain tyrant. This is something older, stranger, and far more deliberate. Drawn from the traditions of eastern dragonlore, Shinkoryu is a divine serpentine wyrm — a creature of rivers, storms, and celestial will — whose very presence warps the air around it. The sculpt captures that energy beautifully: a long, sinuous body coiled with immense muscular tension, every individual scale rendered with meticulous care, antler-like horns branching upward, and a mane of flowing tendrils framing a face that carries both terrible intelligence and ancient authority. This is not a beast to be slain — it is a force to be negotiated with, and even then, only on its terms.

Three sculpts are available in this range. The first shows Shinkoryu crouched low on a shattered stone base, body compressed and alert — as though it has just landed and is deciding whether you are worth its time. The second is a taller, more rearing pose with its body rising and coiling, captured from a side angle that shows the full sweep of its serpentine form. The third, and most dramatic, shows Shinkoryu coiled around a detailed pagoda shrine on a rocky outcropping — an extraordinary display piece that tells an entire story on its own.

Whether you're bringing an Eastern-inspired campaign arc to life or adding a centrepiece to a display shelf, this miniature commands attention from every angle. It is equally at home as a session-defining boss encounter and as a collector's showpiece.

Suited to adventurers who:

• Run Eastern-themed D&D or TTRPG campaigns and need a boss that feels genuinely distinct
• Want a serpentine dragon miniature that breaks from the standard Western wyrm silhouette
• Are painting enthusiasts looking for a large-scale showcase piece with extraordinary surface detail
• Collect display miniatures and want something with genuine sculptural presence

Encounter Hook:
The party has tracked the missing pilgrims to a remote mountain shrine — only to find the pagoda intact, the offerings freshly laid, and the great dragon Shinkoryu coiled silently around the base. It has been here for three days. It has eaten no one. It is waiting for something. The question is whether the adventurers are brave enough, or wise enough, to ask what.
