The Bishop of Rats Bust by The Witchguild

He speaks with the voice of the sewers, and the sewers speak back — the Bishop of Rats hears confession from creatures that the surface world would sooner forget.

• ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project
• ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions

This commanding bust depicts a ratfolk cleric of considerable authority — a wolf-pelt draped over intricate filigree armour, a broad-brimmed hat etched with flowing scrollwork, and the bearing of someone who has long since stopped asking for permission. The sculpt captures a figure mid-turn, one hand raised to the brim of that hat, exuding the confidence of a man who controls entire underground networks through faith, fear, and the occasional quiet miracle.

The surface detail across this piece is exceptional. Layered chainmail beneath an engraved breastplate, a wolf-head pauldron bristling with individually carved fur, knotwork along the hat's brim, and a base decorated with repeating Celtic-style interlace — every surface rewards a painter's brush. This is a display piece designed to sit front and centre on a shelf or painting competition table, and to inspire the kind of NPC your players will be talking about for months.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Want a substantial display project with rich layered textures to paint across
• Are building a villains' gallery or fantasy bust collection
• Need visual inspiration for a ratfolk high priest, crime lord, or cult leader NPC
• Play or run Ravenloft, Waterdeep underworld campaigns, or any dark urban setting

Encounter Hook:
The party has been chasing whispers of a thieves' guild operating beneath the city — but every lead dead-ends at a shrine to an unnamed rat-god. When they finally find the Bishop in his candlelit undercroft, surrounded by silent ratfolk acolytes, he already knows their names. He smiles, adjusts his hat, and asks if they've come to confess.
