Author Topic: Need a 'Lagoon Terror' that is good value... (Read 4641 times)

Need help finding a suitably interesting Lagoon Terror for the Perilous Island campaign. Have been hitting the local dollar-shops, but the plastic / rubber toy selection has been lacking..

I'm open to suggestions, but am hoping to find something with tentacles that I can lop off and use on separate bases...

By 'good value' I mean worth-the-money for something that may not get a lot of table-time. That's why I'm drawn to the idea of an assortment of separate tentacles that could be used, singly or in groups, for other scenarios and settings.

Take a look here, some interesting pieces, reasonably priced.

Then again, if what you really want is tentacles, why not just make them out of modelling clay?

Yup. that's what Mila did. She made a creature out of Scupley.

There a post around here with a WIP pics, I'll see if I can find it.

I have the one from Thomarillion:

And the shot from LPL3:

Now, I don't see the monster in Thomarillion's catalogue anymore, but the tentacles are still available:

Good leads everyone, thank you.

Very impressed with the Sculpy effort! Will have to look into that.

This is why I always go by the dollar section in target.

Here's my 'Good Value' monster thats crude but effective.
I put this together for a D&D game awhile back, but still have for whenever.
I got these a few years ago at a cost per oct of $1 each.
Print out of Tolkien horror scrounged on google.
Lopped off tentacles and hot glued to pennies.

Maybe head down to your local craft store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby, here in the U.S.? They have all kinds of plastic animals, dinosaurs, fantasy creatures, etc. find likely body parts and lop them off and base them up. For example, there is a hydra with multiple heads you could use...

Amalric, that's exactly the sort of thing I want to do...

Unfortunately our local Michaels, dollar and craft shops (where I live in Canada) have been a bust. Which is why I started this wee thread. I remain undaunted and I think the other suggestions that have come in will only serve to help anyone else travelling down this path.

We all need a quality Lagoon Terror in our collections!
