Why bother with an ancient topaz dragon miniature? There are several good reasons. First, it is incredibly cool. Second, it will terrify your party. There are probably other reasons as well, but those two seemed like enough to me, to be honest. Mostly just the first one, in fact. The second one is more just

Why bother with a hezrou miniature? Hezrous are a pretty common Dungeons & Dragons 5E creature- surprisingly common for a demon.

Why bother with an ochre jelly adult miniature? Ochre jellies are common in D&D 5E, and where you have ochre jellies, you have ochre jelly adults. That’s not an official name; it’s just what I decided to call ochre jellies which haven’t yet been hit with either lightning or slashing damage and been broken into

Why bother with a kelpie miniature? Saying that 5th edition D&D doesn’t use kelpies much is an understatement. So why bother with a kelpie mini? Well, if you’re a dungeon master and you like European mythology, they are a fun addition. If not, they provide a rare opportunity to use a plant, although I genuinely

Why bother with a wyvern miniature? Wyverns are a common baddie in Dungeons and Dragons, from 5E back to the beginnings.

Why bother with a homunculus miniature? While homunculi aren’t particularly dangerous foes, these Constructs are great for story elements, as other wizards may use them as spies. In addition, if you have any wizards in your party, they will probably want to get a homunculus once they gain access to the 6th level spell Create

Why bother with a unicorn miniature? Unicorns make great plot elements for storylines, since evil creatures hate them and want their horns for their magical qualities. Plus, everyone likes a unicorn.

Why bother with a zombie miniature? Zombies are incredibly common in Dungeons and Dragons games- these Undead are CR 1/4, so they’re perfect for low-level parties, and adding more makes them good for higher level parties as well.
