Description
From the frost-bitten waters of northern myth, the Sverdhvalur breaches the surface — all armoured flanks, serrated fins, and a jaw wide enough to swallow a longboat whole.
- ✔ 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
The Sverdhvalur draws from Icelandic folklore, where the svorðhvalur was feared as a monstrous whale capable of capsizing ships and hunting sailors for sport. This sculpt captures that legend with ferocious detail: a massive, shark-like body plated with overlapping scales along its tail, a fan of vicious dorsal spines, and a gaping maw lined with rows of needle teeth. The mini is mounted on a dynamic wave-textured base with twin support posts that give the impression the creature is lunging forward mid-breach — an absolute centrepiece for any ocean or coastal encounter.
Whether you're running a seafaring campaign, a coastal hex-crawl, or simply want a genuinely fearsome beast on your display shelf, the Sverdhvalur commands attention. This is a digital render shown in unprimed grey-green resin tone, giving a clear view of every sculpted surface detail — the segmented tail, the swept pectoral fins, and the sheer scale of that head.
A great choice for adventurers who:
- Run nautical or coastal D&D and TTRPG campaigns
- Need a large creature encounter to stop players in their tracks
- Collect folklore-inspired or mythological fantasy miniatures
- Want a show-stopping display piece with real visual presence
Encounter Hook:
Three days out from the Shivering Coast, the ship's hull groans — not from the swell, but from something below. A shape the length of the vessel rises alongside the port side, one pale eye breaking the surface to regard the crew with cold intelligence. The Sverdhvalur is known to toy with its prey before it strikes.
Scaled to 32mm and supplied with the sculpted wave base attached. This is a large creature miniature — sized to make an impact on the table. Arrives ready for priming and painting, or use it straight from the box to bring some mythic dread to your session.
