Myconid Sprout by The Toadstool Weaver

Deep beneath the earth, where spores drift like snow and the silence has texture, a myconid sprout watches with glowing eyes — small, ancient, and far more dangerous than it looks. ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime ✔ Compatible with D&D, Pathfinder, and all tabletop RPGs ✔ Equally at home on the gaming table or the display shelf Myconids are among the most distinctive creatures of the Underdark — a fungal folk who communicate through spores, form sovereign colonies in lightless caverns, and regard the surface world with a quiet, unsettling indifference. This sprout is one of the youngest and smallest of their kind, but The Toadstool Weaver's sculpt makes clear that youth is no guarantee of innocence. The wide, latticed cap bristles with hollow pores, its surface a deep violet that shifts to cool blue at the crown. Below it, the body is dense and fibrous, every surface etched with the tight, sinuous grain of living mycelium. Stubby, root-like legs plant the creature in a low, wide stance — a posture that reads as watchful rather than passive. The face, such as it is, carries two sharp yellow eyes set in a permanent scowl, giving this sprout a demeanour that suggests it has already formed strong opinions about the party.For painters, this sculpt is a gift: the textured cap, striated stalk, and expressive eyes each reward a different technique. Wet blending on the cap from indigo to electric blue, a deep violet wash across the body, and a spot of bright yellow-green on those glowering eyes will bring this little fungus to life. It works equally well as a familiar-scale encounter piece or as the most characterful occupant of a fungi-scatter scene on your display shelf.Suits adventurers who: Run Underdark campaigns and want encounter variety beyond the usual cave-dwellers Need myconid enemies, allies, or neutral NPCs for colony-based roleplay encounters Love painting small-scale creatures with big personality and strong surface texture Collect fungal and plant-type miniatures for display or themed encounter sets Encounter Hook: The party follows a narrow spore-lit passage into a vast underground grove, the floor soft and muffled with pale growth. At the edge of the light, a single sprout stands motionless — watching. It does not flee. It does not attack. It simply releases a thin cloud of rapport spores and waits to see if the party's minds are worth sharing.DetailsSculpted by The Toadstool Weaver.
