Giant Toad of the Swamp - Beszenyok the Defiler

[Huge Sized Model - 75mm Base]

[Presupported with LYS files in 32mm Scale]

A great frog on a log in a swamp exposed to the dark magics of the witches of Hyarven centuries ago. Cursed with nigh immortality and an insatiable appetite, Beszenyok has become something of a folk tale amongst the locals of Arrakanna, a bed time story for children to warn them against wandering into the swamps alone. Though it would seem the children of Arrakanna may rest easy, for the beast now haunts the lands of Abunos instead.

The witches of Hyarven in Arrakanna are known for their cruelty and unusual experiments. Nonesuch befit this as the putrid abomination they created in Beszenyok the Defiler: a frog fed a concoction of experimental potions, which seemed to bring nigh endless life to it, but at the cost of a horrific form. The frog became infused with the land it called home, moss and trees planted within its back, and the beast grew an insatiable hunger, growing larger and larger with no end in sight. Its meals quickly grew from bugs and small lizards to rodents, small primates and now even men. Sightings of the beast are disputed across the various towns of Arrakanna, and descriptions of it vary from a lizard, to an ooze and even a deformed troglodyte.

Regardless the Elemi of Abunen Kolden were able to locate and capture the magically infused beast, hauling it with their strike team bound for Tharador. When they landed on the shores of Abunos, Beszenyok was unleashed upon the populace, burrowing into small watering holes where it would await its prey, lurching itself at them and swallowing them whole. Already it has wreaked havoc on the local populace, and its hunters are unable to find or track the beast, as it seemingly is able to move both earth and water to its will, covering its tracks and building new watering holes and burrows to further trap unsuspecting victims.
