Star-Nosed Mole Rider by Great Grimoire

Deep beneath the stone, where blind things rule and sound travels faster than light, the war-bells of the mole riders are the last thing many surface-dwellers ever hear.

This is the Star-Nosed Mole Rider from Great Grimoire — a formidable Underdark cavalry miniature that brings genuine menace and world-building weight to your table. The rider herself is a sharp-featured, armoured warrior with a pronounced elven or drow aesthetic, her dark-crested hair swept back as she holds aloft a banner pole strung with clanging bells — a signal standard as much as a trophy. She sits astride a hulking star-nosed mole, the beast bristling with scales, claws, and a wide-open jaw of serrated teeth, its flanks loaded with strapped wooden panniers, rope-bound gear, and what appears to be a collection of blades lashed to its saddle rigging. This is a creature bred for war, not just as a mount but as a weapon.

The sculpt captures the organised savagery of an Underdark raiding force — the kind of force that emerges without warning from tunnels the party didn't know existed. Whether you're running a drow war-band, a deep gnome cavalry skirmish, or an entirely homebrew subterranean culture, this miniature does the narrative heavy lifting the moment it lands on the table. It works equally well as a painted display piece on its own merit — the detail on the mole's fur, armour plating, and rigging rewards a careful painter's attention.

A great choice for adventurers who:

• Need Underdark cavalry or mounted warriors for D&D 5e or other TTRPGs
• Are building a drow, deep elf, or subterranean raider faction
• Want a large-scale centrepiece miniature for a dungeon encounter or boss fight
• Paint display pieces and want a sculpt with exceptional creature and rider detail
• Are looking for an unusual mounted mini that goes well beyond the standard horse-and-rider format

Encounter Hook:
The bells begin to ring from somewhere beneath the floor of the cavern — three short peals, then silence. Before the party can react, the stone cracks and a mole the size of a carthorse erupts from the ground, its rider already raising her banner and screaming a command in a language none of them recognise. Behind her, a second tunnel opens. The bells ring again.
