Description
In Icelandic folklore, the Skoffin is born of a terrible union between a fox and a cat — a creature whose very gaze is said to bring death to all but its own kind.
- ✔ 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
Part feline, part nightmare, the Skoffin occupies a fascinating corner of Nordic myth that few adventurers ever think to explore — until it's too late. This sculpt captures the beast mid-stalk: lean and muscular, its spine bristling with quill-like spines, tongue lolling with unsettling intent, and that long whip-thin tail ending in a wild brush of fur. It's unmistakably cat-like, yet deeply, wrongly other — precisely the kind of creature that makes players second-guess every forest hex on the map.
For Dungeon Masters looking to move beyond the usual monster manual fare and introduce genuine folkloric dread, the Skoffin is a wonderful centrepiece. It works equally well as a wandering predator in a frost-touched wilderness, a cursed familiar gone wrong, or the object of a village's oldest and most hushed superstition. Painters and display collectors will relish the texture variety on offer — smooth muscular flanks contrasted against sharp, spiky quills and the tufted tail tip.
Perfect for adventurers who:
- Want to bring real-world folklore into their D&D or TTRPG campaigns
- Are building a Scandinavian, Norse, or cold-climate wilderness setting
- Enjoy painting miniatures with strong silhouettes and tactile surface detail
- Collect unusual and lore-rich beast miniatures for display
Encounter Hook:
The village elder won't say what took the shepherd — only that the tracks were cat-shaped, the man's eyes were wide open when they found him, and no one has dared walk the northern pasture since the frost came in. The party's map marks a ruined longhouse two miles north. Something is already watching them from the tree line.
Details
Supplied at 32mm scale. The model comes with the oval base shown. Supports are removed before dispatch; as with all high-detail resin prints, minor marks may occasionally occur and can be cleaned up easily. Arrives fully cured and ready for priming, painting, or straight to the table.
