Adding a Nothic: Sub or kludge?

Hi gang!

I was hoping to place a Nothic in a little something I have simmering away. Sadly there does not appear to be a model in the excellent creature compilation pack, unless its hidden away someplace or named differently. If it’s new to 5e then that probably explains its absence.

So my question is… Does anyone know if a model is available? If not, can anyone recommend a good alternative model to represent the Nothic? As a last resort, can anyone learned in monsters suggest a similar alternative monster? Solitary lifestyle is crucial!

Not that I’m aware.

I suspect the difficult part about modeling that creature would be the single central eye.

Thanks for sharing that, another useful bookmark added. I had a good feeling nobody had had a go at a model, but thought id best be sure.

I’d prefer to kludge it by finding another model to represent the creature but the single eye thing really makes that hard. An alternative creature may be the end result, but I want something similarly intelligent and manipulative, as I have some special interactions planned…

A sub it will be.

I think I’m 99% set on using an Otyugh instead, with the aid of Kalister68’s suitably vile model.

They are supposed to have “limited telepathy” which is very useful. I can adapt and bend a few things to get the right fit. Onwards I go until the next roadblock :smiley:

He’s a handsome devil, isn’t he! Had a lot of fun writing up this encounter. Hope you brought along plenty of resting rations!

You know, if we eliminated those upper appendages, that might actually make a decent approximation to a Warhammer squig. Just give it a red reskin.
