Goristo Classic by Epic Miniatures

Something massive and feral has clawed its way up from the Abyss — all matted fur, curving horns, and the kind of claws that leave marks on stone.

• ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime
• ✔ Compatible with D&D, Pathfinder, and all tabletop RPGs
• ✔ Equally at home on the gaming table or the display shelf

The Goristo is one of the Abyss's more visceral exports — a demon built entirely for destruction, with none of the scheming subtlety of a Balor and none of the skittering frenzy of a lesser fiend. This sculpt captures it mid-crouch, coiled and ready to lunge, shoulders hunched forward with the dense matted fur across its back bristling with bony spines. The face is a nightmare of curved horns, flared nostrils, and rows of fangs caught mid-snarl. Runic bracers ring each forearm — a detail that hints at something or someone who once thought they could bind this creature to their will. The clawed hands are splayed and low, like a wrestler daring you to make the first move.

The sculpt rewards patient painters. The layered fur texture across the back and shoulders gives you natural shadowing zones to work with, and the spiked protrusions along the spine make for excellent OSL targets if you want to suggest something smouldering beneath the surface. The face, all deep-set eyes and open jaws, has enough depth to bring out strong contrast with a simple wash. As a display piece, the crouching posture gives it real presence without demanding a dramatic base — it carries the weight on its own.

Available with or without a plain base, so you can drop it onto your own scenic base or use it straight from the box.

Suits adventurers who want to:

• Put a large-category fiend on the table that reads as genuinely dangerous from across the room
• Build out an Abyssal or Outer Planes encounter with a heavy-hitting demon that isn't just another humanoid with wings
• Add a centrepiece painting project with rich surface texture and strong silhouette
• Represent a Goristo, demon warrior, or corrupted beast-creature in any dark fantasy campaign

Encounter Hook

The party's infernal contact warned them the vault was guarded, but not like this. As the door swings open, a shape uncurls from the darkness — bracered forearms scraping the stone floor, horned head swinging low to track them one by one. It doesn't roar. It just waits. Someone has bound it here, and whatever the terms of that binding were, the party just triggered them.
