This model, inspired by the upcoming game Strigovia: A Slavic Dark Fantasy Setting for 5e, embodies a creature steeped in Slavic folklore. The game, a 350+ page compendium of new spells, classes, and player options inspired by Slavic mythology and The Witcher universe, introduces a dark, immersive fantasy world.

The figure presents a creature with a humanoid upper body and animalistic lower half, sitting on a stone throne entwined with roots. Its imposing horns, muscular physique, and fur-covered legs suggest a powerful connection to nature and primal magic. The creature’s appearance resembles mythical beings like the leshy (a woodland spirit) or chort (a Slavic demon), known for their dual nature of protector and trickster. Its horns, wild beard, and fearsome expression give it an air of ancient wisdom and danger.

The model's sculpting is intricate, with detailed fur and muscles, giving it a realistic texture. The creature’s expression, with sharp eyes and bared teeth, suggests a character who is not just a brute but perhaps a manipulator or guardian of sacred knowledge. The base, covered in rocks, roots, and patches of greenery, further ties the creature to the wilderness, making it seem like an extension of the forest itself.

In Strigovia, this creature could play various roles—from a guardian spirit to a dark manipulator, fitting into the morally complex, dangerous world that draws heavily from Slavic folklore. Painters will appreciate the level of detail in the model, offering opportunities to bring out its dark, natural aesthetic with earthy tones and vibrant accents.
