I had wanted to commission something like this for a while now, and I'm incredibly grateful that I was able to get @daisukebear.bsky.social to bring this one to life for me. Inspired by the Asheville trip made with the hubby and boyfriend the September before last.

We’re reimagining classic fantasy monsters for Draw Steel that reinforce that danger.
As rewards after the encounter heroes can harvest monster parts and craft consumable treasures.
