Title: Gruagach Mini
Post by: PhilH on June 15, 2019, 11:12:17 AM: This is my Gruagach mini. 24mm to the eye. He’s from the Monstrous Lexicon manual and a Gnomish offshoot.
They live in remote wilderness locations. Despite shunning the company of civilised beings they are not hostile, unless a party of adventurers are deliberately harming the natural world. They do have animal companions, some of which I’m working on now.

Well I’m from Elgin and it’s always been an imp to me. However this version is for a named creature in the Monstrous Lexicon manual by the Pickled Dragon. I’m working through most of the creatures featured. It might take a while, but there are some beauties in there. Possibly a few regionally diverse names too.

I did a quick Google and it is used to describe a variety of different creatures, but an imp seems to be the common theme. The description for the version I made is described as a Gnomish offshoot.

I think he said he was doing those next. A crow would be good.

Thank you. They’ll head to Kickstarter in due course. Early July probably, then into my store.
