Tiefling Villager Researcher by Epic Miniatures

She knows something the party needs — and she's not sure yet whether to share it, run, or throw a vial at someone's head.

• ✔ 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

This tiefling researcher is no sheltered academic — she's sharp, scrappy, and mid-motion, caught in that electric moment between a discovery and a decision. Her wild, voluminous hair frames a pair of small horns, and her layered robes and sash are hung with pouches, scrolls, and vials — the kit of someone who does their research in the field rather than behind a desk. In one hand she clutches a small round object; in the other, she thrusts forward a cylindrical implement with the focused energy of someone who absolutely knows what it does and isn't afraid to use it.

Her expression carries a wry confidence — a half-smile that suggests she's already three steps ahead of the conversation. The sculpt captures her mid-stride, robes swirling, a braided rope belt looping at her waist. She reads equally well as a scholar, an alchemist, an artificer's contact, a street-smart information broker, or a tiefling player character brimming with personality and arcane curiosity.

The level of detail in her clothing — the layered fabric, the bandaged forearm wrapping, the gathered belt adornments — makes her a rewarding painting project for hobbyists, with plenty of recesses for washes and textured surfaces for drybrushing.

Adventurers who'll love this mini include those who:

• Need a distinctive tiefling NPC with genuine personality on the tabletop
• Are building out an urban encounter with memorable named characters
• Play a tiefling artificer, sorcerer, bard, or rogue and want a mini that fits their vibe
• Enjoy painting character-driven sculpts with expressive poses and layered detail
• Want a display piece that tells a story at a glance

Encounter Hook

The party tracks a missing alchemical shipment to a cramped Dock Ward townhouse — only to find the door already open and a tiefling researcher mid-ransack, vials clinking, muttering about someone called "the Collector." She doesn't want to fight. She very much wants to make a deal. Whether the party trusts her is another question entirely.
