I was going to wait until this was painted or until I worked up some more stats for him, but the truth is I am just too excited. So here is the newest 3d print fresh off our resin printer!
When painted he will look like this:
I made him on Hero Forge, downloaded the STL, my youngest printed him out, and with a bit of luck, I'll get my wife to paint him!
He is based on the various Demon-Goat creatures, mostly featured in the witch sabbat paintings of Francisco Goya.
Akelarre is the Basque word (where Goya is from) for a Witches' Sabbath. The name of both of these paintings from Goya is "Akelarre."
I wanted a new demon lord, one associated with evil witches. The role in my games in the past has largely been filled by Graz'zt. But I wanted someone I had more creative control over. I also wanted someone that was also like Éliphas Lévi's Baphomet. He will serve as the witches' "Dark Man" as mentioned in many witchcraft trials. In Europe that was always considered to be the Devil or a at the very least a high-level demon. Well...here he is!
Before I get too deep into his history and background I want to share this print.
The mini is depicted as 20 ft tall, so the Akelarre himself would be 15 ft tall. So smaller than say Demogorgon in AD&D 1st ed and about the size of Orcus.
Given the work my wife did on Gog and Magog, I am really looking forward to seeing what she does with this guy.
Now...what will be done first? My wife painting him or me getting his stats done!
