Nothic Sneaking by Epic Miniatures

Once a wizard consumed by the hunger for forbidden knowledge, the Nothic now creeps through lightless tunnels on all fours — its single enormous eye gleaming with cursed intelligence and the desperate need to feed.

• ✔ Multi-miniature bundle — multiple variations in one order
• ✔ 32mm scale resin, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ All pieces supplied unpainted and ready to prime
• ✔ Great value for building out encounter groups or display collections

The Nothic is one of the most unsettling creatures a dungeon delver can stumble upon — not because it is the most powerful, but because of what it was. This sculpt captures it in a low, predatory crouch: spine bristling with jagged dorsal spines, clawed hands splayed against the ground, that grotesque single eye dominating a face stretched wide in a fang-filled leer. The hide is covered in flowing, organic patterns that hint at the arcane corruption running through its very skin. There is real menace in the pose — this is a creature about to lunge, not one standing still for a portrait.

The bundle includes both a plain base and a decorative base variant, giving you the flexibility to match your tabletop aesthetic. Whether you want it mounted on a scenic base to anchor an encounter or on a plain disc to slot into a dungeon tile system, the choice is yours. The sculpt is multipart, allowing for clean assembly and crisp detail across the whole model.

This miniature works equally well as a gaming piece and as a painting centrepiece — the surface texture, from the stippled skin to the deeply recessed eye socket, gives painters plenty to work with whether you prefer a quick basecoat-and-wash approach or a full blended showcase piece.

• Dungeon Masters running a Waterdeep: Dragon Heist or Dungeon of the Mad Mage campaign who need a Nothic to haunt Xanathar's lair
• Adventurers building an Underdark encounter table full of aberrant horrors
• Painters drawn to grotesque organic textures and single-eyed nightmare creatures
• Collectors who want a characterful aberration on the display shelf

Encounter Hook

The party has been hearing faint whispers since the second level of the dungeon — snatches of their own secrets, spoken back to them in a clicking, tongueless voice. Now, rounding a corner near the old wizard's study, they catch a glimpse of something skittering behind a collapsed bookshelf. The Nothic already knows everything it needs to know about them. The question is: what will it ask for in return for letting them pass?
