Bell Tower Gargoyle – The Spire Sentry

Bell Tower Gargoyle – The Spire Sentry

Construct Monster

Perched high upon a stylized stone pillar with expansive, ribbed wings unfurled, this imposing construct brings an atmospheric dread to the gaming grid. Gripping a long-hafted polearm and flexing sharp talons, its coiled posture radiates immediate physical threat and mechanical patience. For Keepers seeking an unyielding threshold guardian, an airborne sentinel, or an architectural ambush predator, this Artifact commands a striking visual presence.

Tabletop Lore

A silent watcher from atop the high spires of Castle Beaufax, this stone sentinel has observed the surrounding lands for centuries. Even during the long years of the fortress’s abandonment, foolish looters and wandering vagabonds met swift, violent ends at the hands of this enchanted guardian. While the creature is fundamentally bound to the ancestral bloodline of the estate, the current nobility has no method of directly commanding its movements, forcing them to warn guests to avoid any behavior that might displease the stone beast.

Highlight

The integrated stone pillar base elevates the model physically, allowing Keepers to clearly represent verticality and architectural positioning directly on a flat tactical grid.
