D&D Scenery: Hydra Throne for Tomb of Annihilation

thingiverse

Ras Nsi's Throne Room (area 11) in the Fane of the Night Serpent of Tomb of Annihilation features an iron throne carved in the likeness of a hydra. The map shows it as a single square item. When experimenting with ideas for this, I decided to take quite some liberties. I wanted a sense of grandeur. This version now covers 8 squares roughly, with two being the hydra's body emerging from the ground, and one being the dais I went for instead of a traditional throne. Given that Ras Nsi is a Malison, a normal chair approach didn't seem suitable and you can have the actual miniature stand on the dais. I decided to add the serpent sigil that I use for the teleporter, making it a symbol that ties Ras Nsi's influence to the temple and throne. The hydra statue is made out of modified parts of Miguel Zavala's (mz4250) Hydra: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1241912 - Go check him it out here, on shapeways and patreon, his collections is huge! After printing my version, I found an issue with the right head, this has been fixed now. There's also been support failures on two of the lower heads sadly, so I have limited pictures of the full statue. I will have to reprint it. As a result there's some changes to the photos seen compared to the model. I also added two magnet slots for 5mm ball magnets - while those will likely not line up perfectly with OpenForge/OpenLock magnets in tiles when aligning the grid, they can be helpful with stability. They're not needed though, once the dais is in place, the statue is perfectly stable by itself.
