Tiki Golem

The tropical grove was ringed by torches that burned around its perimeter.  The lizardman champion who lead the raiding group let his gaze sweep the clearing.  A vine covered stone ruin sat quietly, watched over by a carved wooden figure stained in garish colors.   With a flick of his tail, the champion ordered his pack into the ruins to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.  The fastest two of his pack slipped past the statue and were entering the doorway to the ruin when a torch flared.  As quick as a flash the statue lashed out with it's shark teeth edged club striking down one of his finest warriors in a single blow.

  2. I saw this mini and just had to have him. It was a blast to paint up, and I figured that I'd stat it up and share!

  3. As a recent victim of Treasure Isle on Facebook I have been thinking of converting some of the tiki statues (which are magic items, not monsters).

    Very nice write-up.
