Hoard Golem Serpent - Treasure Mimic / Avatar of Greed | RPG Boss Miniature

Description

The ultimate punishment for those who don't roll Investigation. This Hoard Golem Serpent is a masterpiece of dungeon-crawling terror. When the party finally defeats the dungeon boss and rushes to claim the loot, this colossal aberration rises from the gold to teach them a lethal lesson in greed. Perfect for a Hoard Mimic, a cursed Treasure Golem, or a bizarre aberration guarding a vault. The sculpt features a massive, writhing serpentine body composed entirely of thousands of gold and silver coins, bound together by chains and studded with colorful, oversized gemstones. Its main terrifying maw gapes open, revealing rows of sharp teeth and unnatural purple flesh. Even more horrifying, dozens of smaller, hungry mouths open up randomly across its coin-scaled body. The beast rears up from a heavily detailed Treasure Hoard Base, overflowing with spilled chests and loose loot. Key Features: - The Metallic Wash Dream: This model is incredibly forgiving and satisfying to paint. A basecoat of gold and silver followed by a heavy dark wash (like Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil) will instantly make the thousands of individual coins pop with depth. - Nightmare Details: The stark contrast between the bright metallic treasure and the fleshy, purple, tooth-filled mouths scattered across its body creates a deeply unsettling visual. - Epic Encounter: This isn't just a monster; it's a memorable plot twist waiting to happen at the end of a long campaign.
