#baloth

t has been four years since I last made a baloth

I don't have that much headcanon about this one in particular other than it being the only baloth that looks like this it is one of the reasons I think Baloths are from Zendikar and were spread to other planes some time in the past

I also recorded the modeling process so I'm going to post a making of video at some point, eventually, probably

You can download the model for free from Printables or Thingiverse

If you want to help me keep making free models or to tell me what I should make next please check out my Patreon

Magic the Gathering: Green Creatures (Baloths, Bird of Paradise, Giant Spiders) v1.00.  D&D 5e Monster Stats

For the green set we have an assortment of big stompy creatures and a little bit of mana producing.  When it comes to green I figured the most iconic creature would have been the Wurm, but as Ravnica actually already filled out stats for that, we went for the next best thing... GIANT SPIDERS!  As far as I understand the Giant Spider is one of the most reprinted cards in Magic the Gathering.  (In this case it’s alternatively called the ‘Huge Spider’ as in D&D the name Giant Spider is already taken for a large sized beast).

Baloths were the choice of big stompy creatures, since I started playing Magic the Gathering arena I found the Vigilant Baloth to be one of my favorites both in use and the artwork.  Conveniently enough, Vigilant was actually one of the few abilities from the card game that the ‘Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica’ actually covered. (They’re never surprised, and have double the proficiency bonus to perception.  A little more simple than the ability I was designing before I noticed it was already in the book, but it works.  I have to learn not to over-complicate all my statblocks when I have an easier option right in front of me.)

Also, we’re almost done with these 5-creature sets.  Next, and finally, will be White Mana creatures.  Then I can move into the MTG commissions I received (among other projects I have lined up).

Here’s the Tokens: 

Rampaging beast

Will be used for a custom token card for Magic: the Gathering’s Rampaging Baloths.
