| | It's the new 4e catfish beholder. | | The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin! Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn... A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil. He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

Watch the video (GenCon Videos thread). I think it's the second video. They preview a computer generated dungeon and show encounters with the troll, the beholder and the large green dragon.
Since the computer generated troll in this video looks exactly like the one that appeared on the Wizards-site, it seems safe to assume, that we'll see a beholder in Dungeons of Dread.
After my initial fear of a catfish-SHAPED beholder, I felt better after looking at the mini. It has catfish-like whiskers, but still the typical beholder features.
Here's the link: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=welcome/conventions/gencon07

| ok, has there seriously been any confirmation that the troll or the beholder are actually being made into minis? For as far as I can tell, the picture of the supposed "mini" is just a picture of the giant 9' statue from the convention. and a 13' tall beholder doesn't exactly sound "mini" to me...
ok, MAYBE runelord started painting some really super detailed "people standing around at a convention" minis, but otherwise I don't accept a statue as OMG Pr00fzorz!!1! of dungeon of dread. | | | |

| The base on the Troll mini (picture on Hordelings and DDMSpoilers sites) seems to have an extremely thin base for a large miniature.
It almost looks like a huge mini, from the base proportions. Either that, or it's just a mock-up (without a standard base) or the bases are being changed for DDM 2.0.
Perhaps changing the bases in some way is even likely, as a way of more easily distinguishing between 1.0 and 2.0. I don't mind particularly if base thickness changes, but I really hope the base diameters don't change. (The last change in large base size made enough of a mess of my storage system.) | | Champion of the Bodak.Knight of the Aboleth.Squire of Gnomes. Friend of (Non-Ugly) Fey.

| The troll looks cartoony, but not as bad as I thought when I read the first comments. It won't fit with the older minis though. The beholder is OK, it will be perfect as a variant (did I say that the 2E "I tyrant" supplement is one of my faves ever ?) Difference in size wouldn't even be a problem in this case. beholder pic :

| | Well I actually like the look of that beholder more than the 3.5E one, particularly the spines on the eyestalks. The moustache face plate isn't so hot, but the general scaly look is just fine with me, very aberrent. Same goes for the troll, the larger nose actually makes it (at least to me) look more interesting and trolly. | | Call me: W.N.

| I rather like the troll. A little more of a fairy tale look but as a DM I'm perfectly okay with that.
From what I remember of Beholders almost no two look alike. There is quite a bit of variance in appearance from beholders of one area to another. Looks fine to me. | | | |
