DM18 - Rust Monsters

Rust monsters are creatures of bizarre appearance, with a fondness for snacking on metallic objects of all kinds. Although not a deadly foe, it is widely feared by knights and paladins for its habit of destroying their precious magical weapons and armour.

Unfortunately assembled and painted before I began documenting John's works.

The Rust Monsters were cast in four separate pieces (body, tail and the two antennae).
