Troglodyte Scout 02 by Novaminis

Something moved in the dark ahead — low to the ground, spear raised, nostrils flaring as it caught your scent before you ever saw it.

This is pose 02 of the Troglodyte Scout range by Novaminis, and it captures the creature in a tense, predatory moment. One clawed hand is raised to shield its reptilian eyes — scanning the dark, reading the tunnels — while the other grips a bone-wrapped spear held low and ready. A rough-stitched hide cloak trails behind it, adorned with feathers and skulls, hinting at a tribal hierarchy within whatever warren this thing calls home. The taloned feet, heavy curved tail, and coiled rope ornaments around its torso all speak to a creature evolved for the deep places — patient, territorial, and far more organised than most surface-dwellers expect.

For Dungeon Masters running Underdark campaigns, cave-system delves, or lost civilisation arcs, this sculpt gives troglodyte encounters genuine visual weight. It reads immediately as a scout rather than a brute — the kind of creature that calls for a group before engaging, or has already done so before the party even notices it. Equally compelling as a display piece for collectors who appreciate expressive monster sculpts with strong character and fine tribal detail.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Run Underdark or cave-system encounters in D&D 5e or other TTRPGs
• Want a troglodyte with genuine personality rather than a generic lizard warrior
• Are building a troglodyte warband and want varied poses across the range
• Paint and collect expressive monster miniatures for display

Encounter Hook:
The party has been tracking a missing trade caravan for two days when they find the abandoned carts — goods untouched, horses gone, and a single set of three-toed claw marks pressed deep into the mud, leading toward a collapsed section of the old mine road. As they approach, a shape rises from behind a boulder thirty feet ahead, one hand raised against a torch beam, bone spear held low and angled. It is not alone. It has already sent word.

Details

What's included:
Printed at 32mm scale. Available with or without a plain black base — the base comes unattached and can be fixed with a small amount of glue. Supports are removed before dispatch; as with all resin prints, minor marks may occasionally occur and are easily tidied up. Fully cured and ready for priming and painting, or use straight from the box.
