Hippo Pirate Roar by Epic Miniatures

The dockmaster warned them about Big Jaws Barnacle — a hippo who'd swallowed two rival captains whole and used their ships as collateral for a very unfavourable loan.

• ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK

There are pirates who command respect through cunning, and there are pirates who command respect by opening their mouth wide enough to swallow a lantern whole. This hippo pirate belongs firmly in the second camp. Sculpted by Epic Miniatures, the character is caught mid-roar — jaw flung wide, teeth bared, arms spread in a gesture that sits somewhere between a negotiation opener and a declaration of violence. The long coat, buttoned waistcoat, and well-stocked weapon belt tell you this isn't just muscle with attitude: there's organisation behind the mayhem.

The sculpt carries the confident, slightly cartoonish energy that Epic Miniatures does so well — exaggerated proportions that read brilliantly at tabletop distance and reward a painter's eye up close. The wide stance and splayed arms give the miniature a real sense of occupying space, and that roaring expression will anchor any encounter or diorama. Whether you're running a swashbuckling campaign on the high seas or need a memorable crime lord holding court in a port tavern, this figure brings the room to a standstill the moment it hits the table.

This is a multipart sculpt supplied with both a plain base and a decorative base, giving you flexibility for gaming or display use.

Great for adventurers who:

• Run pirate campaigns and need a larger-than-life NPC crime boss or harbour master
• Want a memorable anthropomorphic character as a player character or recurring villain
• Enjoy painting expressive, personality-driven sculpts with strong silhouettes
• Are building out a seafaring encounter group with variety and flair

Encounter Hook

The party arrives at Port Grawtide looking for passage south. The harbourmaster — a vast, coat-wearing hippo named Gormund Sluice — blocks the dock gate with arms wide and jaw open. He's not attacking. He's explaining, very loudly, that every ship leaving this port owes him a tithe. He's been saying this for three minutes without pausing for breath. The guards behind him look tired. He doesn't.
