Shadow-Wing Stalker – Vrock Demon

Unleash a shriek from the Abyss with the Shadow-Wing Stalker. This miniature perfectly captures the lean, avian horror of a Vrock—a demon that blends the features of a humanoid, a vulture, and a nightmare. Posed in a predatory crouch atop a jagged rock, this model emphasizes the wiry strength and twitchy, unpredictable nature of the lower planes’ most persistent scavengers. Whether descending from the rafters of a ruined cathedral or circling over a blood-soaked battlefield, the Stalker is an essential addition to any high-stakes demonic encounter.

Key Features

• Predatory Silhouette: Features a hunched, muscular frame with powerful, bird-like talons and a wickedly curved beak. The pose suggests a creature about to leap or unleash a deafening, localized shockwave.

• Tattered Wing-Claws: The wings are sculpted with a unique “shredded” look, featuring long, finger-like extensions at the tips. This gives the model a more primitive, bat-vulture hybrid appearance that stands out from standard feathered wings.

• Grisly Detail: The sculpt includes a thick, matted mane of fur or feathers around the neck and a long, sinuous tail, providing varied textures that respond beautifully to washes and dry-brushing.

• Perch of the Damned Base: Standing on a sharp rocky outcropping, the base provides significant verticality, reflecting the Vrock’s preference for high ground and sudden, diving strikes.

Encounter Insight

The Vrock is a classic D&D mid-to-high level threat, famous for its Stunning Screech and Spores abilities. Use this miniature to keep your players looking up—tactically, its flight and reach make it a dangerous harasser for backline casters. The “perched” pose is a great visual cue for a creature that has been watching the party from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to drop in and cause chaos. For painters, this model is a great opportunity to practice “unnatural” skin tones, like sickly grays, deep purples, or bruised yellows.

Size Category: Large (Occupies a 1×1 square on a 1″ grid when using a 25mm base).
