Hydra Sphinx Single Head 02 by Witchsong Miniatures

Where the mountain pass narrows and the ancient stones are etched with riddles no living scholar can answer, something vast and feathered has made its roost — and it is not alone.

• ✔ 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

This is the Hydra Sphinx, Single Head variant 02 — one of a multi-headed monstrosity whose individual necks and crowns each bear their own terrible personality. This sculpt captures a single head rearing up in aggression, wings fully spread and taloned forelimbs braced against a rubble-strewn base scattered with the remnants of a previous challenger's armour. Every primary feather is individually detailed, the lion-haunched body coils with predatory tension, and the curled scorpion tail arcs behind with quiet menace. This is a creature that does not hunt — it waits, because it knows you will come to it eventually.

In D&D 5e terms, sphinxes occupy that rare space between godlike intellect and apex predator. A Hydra Sphinx pushes that further — multiple minds sharing one body, each head capable of posing its own riddle, issuing its own curse, or simply tearing your party in half while the others watch. On the tabletop, this head variant works as a standalone boss, or can be combined with the other head sculpts from this range to build the full creature. It is equally at home as a display piece — the winged spread and dynamic forward lean make it a centrepiece worth painting in painstaking detail.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Need a sphinx boss encounter that goes well beyond the standard CR challenge
• Are building a desert ruin, ancient temple, or divine-punishment arc in their campaign
• Want a large-scale display mini that rewards careful painting — feather layering, stone weathering, and the talon detail are all rich territory
• Are collecting the full Hydra Sphinx range to assemble the complete multi-headed beast

Encounter Hook:
The party has entered the Vault of Asha-Nem to retrieve the Seal of Binding — but the vault's guardian, this head of the Hydra Sphinx, has already cracked the seal itself. It speaks with three voices at once, offering each party member a different bargain, a different riddle, and a different lie. Only one answer will satisfy it. The party has one minute to agree on which.

Details

This model is supplied at display scale with an 80mm base — sized by Witchsong Miniatures to function as a true boss miniature rather than a standard encounter piece. The base is detached for easier transport and can be attached with superglue. If you require a different scale, get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate you.
