Even death couldn’t take his beard. This skeletal dwarf head captures grim transformation—magnificent extra-long beard flowing despite flesh departure, metal rings still adorning what was once greatest pride, mustache framing empty skull where wisdom once resided. Disease claimed the dwarf but the beard remained, testament to stubborn dwarven refusal to surrender style even in undeath.

That extraordinary beard provides fantastic painting opportunities. Layer bone whites with aged yellowing through individual braid sections, add verdigris to metal rings showing centuries of corruption, or paint diseased greens and purples suggesting plague transformation. Each metal ring can receive individual weathering—some still gleaming suggesting magical preservation, others corroded by whatever pestilence claimed this warrior. The beard texture allows for dramatic contrast between pristine undead bone and deteriorating facial hair.

The skull demands careful attention. Paint it as clean bone with mystical glow in eye sockets, add cracks and damage suggesting violent end, or incorporate disease effects with strange discoloration and organic corruption. That mustache flowing into the beard creates unified composition—paint it showing gradual decay from skull to beard tips, or maintain dwarf dignity with carefully maintained undead aesthetics.

Perfect for plague-touched armies, undead dwarf commanders, or building that necromancer who specifically raises dwarven veterans because they’re still disciplined when skeletal. Compatible with 1.0 bodies.

Some beards outlast kingdoms. This one outlasted everything, including its owner.
