Searching for a figure..........lesser demonic animal

[robh]

I am searching for a figure to use as a lesser demon with an African Tribal faction for IHMN.
Described as a distorted version of an African animal rather than a staple Western Horns & Claw type, I have the Hyenas from Chainmail/WotC but am struggling to find anything that really looks the part.
Anyone know of Gnoll figures without weapons & armour? or some other kind of fantasy monster derived from an animal?

[Hobgoblin]

Given how little most fantasy werewolves resemble actual wolves, I reckon you could get away with painting up a werewolf as a demonic version of either a hyena or an African hunting dog. I think the Reaper Bones werewolf would do fine for this (and is cheap!). The "camouflage" scheme of a hunting dog is so distinctive that you could make it look suitably African very easily.

[Hobgoblin]

Also, the Bones werewolf has very big ears, which are the other distinctive feature of an African hunting dog.

Does anybody make large baboons? I'm sure I've seen some recently - Obelisk miniatures maybe? 

[Vern]

Dark Fable Miniatures have some hybrid creatures, that might suit?

Reaper's Moor Hound has a bit of lion look about it

& I've always though the Foundry witchdoctor on all four would make a decent horror

[The Gray Ghost]

I like Crocodile Games AEgyptian ghouls they have a very werewolf look to them.

this is from FreeBlades Miniatures

Great ideas there guys, thank you.  I think the Moor Hound with a Hyena or Hunting Dog colouring would be spot on.

Black Tree Design has one solitary lion-man under its Monsters category. I can't quite tell what he's holding in his hands, though.




Eureka also has a lion-man in the Chaos Egyptians category.

I don't know if they're "giant" "large" (I don't know why I read you as saying "giant", sorry about that), but Armorcast has the old Lance & Laser baboons of greater-than-animal intelligence.

I like those Baboons, a band of those would make for an interesting Darkest Africa type encounter.

[The Gray Ghost]

you could pit them against Lucid Eye's armed chimps.

The D&D plastic figures have quite a few

Dire Ape

Girallon

Isn't there a tradition of 'were-leopards' in parts of Africa? Some of Rhoderic's cat-people might be appropriate. IIRC Reaper have a few too.

Otherworld has a new weretiger.

[beefcake]

I like that weretiger.
Reaper bones are making a bunch of African animal themed humanoids. Unfortunately they won't be ready any time soon.
