Gruagach Mini
« 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.

A Gruagach, as anyone who's ventured North and West of Glasgow knows, is a seabird that can be dressed for the table in many ways, while still remaining largely inedible and provides tasty eggs, provided you are prepared to abseil cliffs while being pecked by angry birds with large beaks.

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.

In the D&D Greyhawk setting, a grugach is a wild elf that is smaller and thinner than a typical elf, and very fair.

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.

First lot of forest creatures to go with the Gruagach. Badger, crow, deer and maybe a bear next.

Perhaps I'm comfoozled, but those do not appear to be a badger, crow, or deer.  ;D

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

Thank you. Yes, the badger, crow etc are on the way. I got distracted with this happy Druid dwarf mini. Or maybe a resurrected Dwarf :)

That's great stuff, will these be cast for sale, or personal use only?

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