Not all ocean dwellers are majestic merfolk singing sailors to their doom. Some are just deeply annoyed amphibians who wish surface-dwellers would stop polluting their kelp forests.

Those massive gills aren’t decorative—they’re functional biological engineering that screams “I breathe underwater and I’m judging your inferior lung-based existence.” The big, bulging eyes capture that perfect deep-sea stare, simultaneously innocent and vaguely threatening, like they’ve seen things in the abyss that would break land-dweller minds. Those pointy teeth suggest a diet that definitely includes shellfish and possibly unwary swimmers.

The aquatic features provide fantastic painting opportunities. Will you go classic green scales? Vibrant tropical colors? Bioluminescent deep-sea horror? Each choice creates a completely different character—from noble mer-warrior to swamp creature to Lovecraftian nightmare from the trenches.

Perfect for building underwater armies, creating that aquatic villain who’s actually got legitimate environmental grievances, or just adding some maritime diversity to your land-focused collection. The distinctive silhouette stands out beautifully among knights and orcs, reminding everyone that fantasy worlds have oceans too.

Pair with appropriate gear that looks functional underwater—because nothing ruins immersion quite like rust-prone weapons on your amphibious assault force.
