Manticore Baby by Epic Miniatures

Small enough to underestimate, savage enough to regret it — the manticore cub crouches low, wings spread, tail coiling, every instinct already wired for the hunt.

• ✔ 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

Don't let the word 'baby' fool you. This young manticore is already a predator in the making — lion-bodied and low to the ground in a tense, spring-ready crouch, membranous bat wings fanned wide for balance or threat display, and a maw full of sharp teeth pulled back in a snarl. The ribbed musculature across the torso speaks to a creature that has never once known a soft moment, and those clawed feet grip the base with coiled tension. The tail arches overhead with unmistakable menace, the barbed tip already learning its purpose.

This is a miniature that rewards a confident painter. The musculature across the body holds shadow beautifully, the leathery wing membranes invite layered glazes, and that snarling face is a centrepiece for any brush looking to push expression. Whether you base it in scorched desert rock, cracked dungeon stone, or tangled wilderness undergrowth, the pose reads instantly as a creature mid-threat-display — and that energy carries from every angle.

The sculpt is multipart and supplied with your choice of a decorative base or a plain base variant, giving you full control over how it sits in your display collection or on the encounter table.

• Adventurers who want a low-CR threat with genuine visual menace on the table
• Dungeon Masters building a manticore family lair encounter with young and adult creatures
• Painters drawn to expressive animal anatomy and leathery wing textures
• Collectors who appreciate that 'small' and 'imposing' are not mutually exclusive

Encounter Hook

The party follows a trail of half-eaten livestock into a rocky canyon — only to find not the adult manticore they were tracking, but its offspring, crouched over the remains of a shepherd's dog. The cub hasn't learned to use its tail spines yet, but it has absolutely learned to scream. And somewhere above, on the canyon rim, something large just heard it.
