Well, they're fantasy creatures with specific abilities, so it's a useful way to know whether you are grabbing the stat blcok for one...

Agreed, though as this looks to be basically just coloured, transluscent plastic, the actual model should look closer to the render...

It's a shame that it's another render image, when the actual minis are often disappointing in comparison. I have the BIG Tiamat and a...

And that's not tyrannical? What about if you play D&D as a cooperative game where the players and DM are responding to each other? I...
