15mm Swamp Beast

So, I ordered this strange guy from Essex Miniatures without having any idea what it looked like. The description said swamp beast (which was pretty vague) and there was no picture showing what the mini looked like. Well, my curiosity won out and I decided to take the plunge and add it to my order. This strange looking creature showed up at my door a few weeks later.

I didn't think I would have a alot of use for him him, but when using minis in D&D games you need all the monsters you can get. So, I gave him a base and he sat on my shelf for a couple of months. I had almost forgotten about it until my character Akelius Flint had to fight an alligator in a swamp, and this guy was just the right size to fill in

I painted him in a generic green, with idea that he could stand for any number of reptilian monsters. Sadly I didn't have him painted for his first fight, but the next time we get this monster in game he will be ready.
