This represents a 50'-tall greater stone golem. Something that can be heard walking from a good distance as it patrols the city. Something that towers over many buildings. When you put the action figure on the battlegrid, the Players/PCs will immediately know it is something they should avoid. [A greater stone golem is listed as Huge, but the action figure represents something Gargantuan. Adjust its size modifiers in its stat block, and you're golden.]The stone golem is CR 16. But as it only has a speed of 20', the PCs should be able to outrun it. It has no ranged capabilities -- so long as the PCs stay away from it, it can't hurt them. And as it has no intelligence, it is easy to outsmart. [Once PCs are out of sight, they are out of its mind.]The action figure drives home the danger of the creature in a visual way. This is something that the PCs will always have to be mindful of. Something that will always be around as a threat. But something that can relatively easily be avoided without confrontation.I did something similar with an eldar treant represented by a Treebeard action figure. When the Players saw the "mini" on the battlegrid, they knew it was badass.Quasqueton</blockquote>
