Sarcophagus Mimic – Death in Disguise

Sarcophagus Mimic – Death in Disguise

2 Models (1x Scatter Terrain, 1x Mimic Monstrosity)

Two models included, one disguised as an ornate, chain-bound stone tomb before bursting into a second model of a ferocious crustacean predator, the Sarcophagus Mimic brings tactical ambush potential to the battle grid. Outfitted with heavy stone-carved reliefs, iron chains, jagged-toothed maws, and crushing pincer claws, this dual-form piece transitions seamlessly from solemn crypt terrain to an active threat. Keepers can deploy this Artifact as a deceptive objective trap, a crypt guardian, or an unexpected ambush encounter during tomb delves and city sieges.

Tabletop Lore

As Dragonblight’s grip tightens on the city of Canos, its roots dig deep into the stone foundations built upon ancient graves. Through this corruption, dark energy seeps into places filled with macabre history, transforming mundane stone objects into monstrous entity traps. What appears to be an ancient, chain-wrapped sarcophagus housing royal remains conceals a predatory mimic, waiting for greedy tomb robbers to touch its carved lid before snapping shut with bone-crushing force.

Highlight

The stark transformation between a chained, stone-carved sarcophagus and a wide-mouthed, pincer-wielding crustacean mimic offers incredible table impact for surprise encounters.

Encounter Insight

Deploy this piece initially as static scatter terrain or a dungeon objective to draw party members into close proximity, then swap or reveal the monstrous form to initiate a tight-quarters ambush that disrupts backline positioning.
