Maelgrim, Barrow Wight – The Tombstalker

Undead (Fighter)

Lurking forward with an ancient notched broadsword and a desiccated, predatory stride, this reanimated crypt stalker brings cold terror to the battle grid. Tattered burial wraps, sunken features, and rusted chainmail give the Artifact an unmistakably sinister silhouette. Keepers seeking an unyielding tomb guardian, barrow-wight commander, or relentless dungeon stalker will find a menacing centerpiece ready to haunt frontline corridors.

Tabletop Lore

Bound to the cold earth of forgotten barrows and silent sepulchers, the wight preserves the hateful malice of fallen warriors denied the peace of death. Clad in the rotting armaments of a long-perished dynasty, it awakens when the seal of its burial vault is breached by living trespassers. Driven by an insatiable hunger to drain the warmth from mortal flesh, it stalks through damp stone corridors, wielding ancient steel with relentless, tireless discipline.

Highlight

An imposing, dynamic stalking posture featuring deep facial hollows, tattered burial vestments, and a weathered ancient blade.
