I wrote up an adventure ("Stuck in the Middle with You") involving the accidental creation of a flesh colossus during a wild magic surge. Instead of just making a stand-up token with the image of the monster, I thought I'd try whipping up a temporary miniature. So I got five toilet paper rolls, cut slits in them so they'd slot together into a somewhat humanoid frame, covered each cardboard tube in rubber bands, and then started attaching a bunch of minis (mostly humans, drow, and elves, plus the occasional spider, snake, giant lizard, and giant beetle - creatures one could expect to find in a surface drow city) by the rubber bands. This isn't the best photo, but here's more or less what it ended up looking like (there's a bald spot on one arm where the rubber band broke before taking the picture - oh well).

I probably spent a total of a couple hours on the silly thing (I assembled it last night, it got all wobbly and sloppy, and I took it apart this morning and reassembled it in a better fashion this morning before the game session), and it got all of two rounds of playing time before it was destroyed by an implosion spell.

Here's what a flesh colossus is supposed to look like:

Oh well, it served its purpose, in the short "life" that it had.

Love the creativity!

Wizkids does a zombie clot, but it's only huge-sized, so your home brew solution does a great job of adding the scale.

Though reading your account made me realize that I need to use my zombie clot in an adventure soon, as I spent some time repainting it and have never used it. I think I know just the scenario...
