Mimic Tree by Epic Miniatures

The forest path looked safe enough — until the pine tree at the clearing's edge opened its jaws.

The Mimic Tree is one of those miniatures that does exactly what it promises — and does it with gleeful menace. Rendered as a large conifer bristling with layered, detailed foliage, it conceals a grotesque predator beneath: a wide-open maw filled with jagged teeth, clawed limbs reaching out from beneath the boughs, and stubby, root-like feet that give away the game just a moment too late for the party's ranger. The sculpt captures the exact moment of revelation — the tree is done pretending.

This is a large-sized miniature, noticeably bigger than a standard 32mm figure, which makes it a genuinely imposing centrepiece on the tabletop. The layered needle detail across the canopy is crisp throughout, and the creature's face — buried mid-trunk behind that enormous gaping mouth — has real character: beady eyes, curling horns, and an expression of deeply satisfied hunger. It also works beautifully as a decorative piece for a nature- or forest-themed display shelf, sitting somewhere between monster and terrain.

The image shows a digital render in raw resin orange, with a d20 for scale reference — confirming this as a genuinely large piece. A plain tree variant (without the exposed monster form) appears in the background of the render, suggesting a possible companion piece or alternative use as disguised terrain before the reveal.

A great choice for adventurers who:

• Run wilderness, forest, or druid-themed campaigns and want an ambush encounter that catches players completely off guard
• Love plant-type monsters and want something with more personality than a standard treant
• Enjoy painting challenge pieces — the contrast between lush foliage and grotesque flesh offers real variety
• Want a display piece that bridges the gap between terrain and monster miniature

Encounter Hook: The party has been hired to investigate a logging camp where workers have gone missing. When they arrive, the clearing is silent — and slightly too full of pine trees for the size of the space. The druid's Speak with Plants spell returns nothing. Because these are not plants.

Details

Scale: Large (significantly bigger than a standard 32mm miniature) — sized appropriately for a Large creature on the D&D grid. Supplied unpainted and unassembled if applicable, ready to prime and paint. The level of detail in the foliage and the creature's facial features rewards careful brushwork.

Sculpted by Epic Miniatures — a prolific independent studio known for their wide range of characterful creature sculpts.

Pairs well with other plant-type monsters and forest wilderness encounters — or explore more from Epic Miniatures.
