Shambler

The Shambler

“It rose from the mire — roots writhing, lightning crackling in its chest — and the forest fell silent.”
— Elira Moonsong, Circle of the Verdant Watch

Species: Animata Verdox (Common name: Shambler, Shambling Mound, Swamp Horror, Lightning Root)
Habitat: Swamps, deep forests, vine-choked ruins
Threat Level: High

The Shambler is a nightmare given form — not born of flesh and bone, but of mud, moss, and primal storm. Towering and amorphous, it moves with sluggish inevitability, a walking tangle of vines, roots, and rotting bark animated by ancient, elemental fury.

Legends say Shamblers were once guardians of sacred groves, corrupted by dark magic or twisted by imbalance in the natural order. Now, they wander the wilds like forgotten sentinels, striking down intruders with crushing limbs and arcs of bio-electric energy that leap from their sodden frames like chained lightning. They do not speak. They do not reason. They remember — and they destroy.

This 28mm scale miniature captures the monstrous grandeur of the Shambler in vivid, terrifying detail — from the dripping tendrils to the crackling veins of elemental power pulsing beneath its gnarled hide. Perfect for druidic campaigns, storm-ravaged temples, or deep-woods encounters where nature itself turns against the players.
