Description
Standing ready and waiting, these toy soldiers have proven to be elegant decorative ornaments crafted by a gifted artisan. Once imbued with arcane energy, these small ornaments become a venerable force for Santa Claus and the fight to safeguard the Christmas holiday season.
Appearance. Standing nearly 12 inches tall, these toy soldiers are intricately carved from various materials. Painted uniforms adorn the soldier's form, each are armed with a small toy rifle.
Wardens of Christmas. Each toy soldier is inherently designed to protect Santa Claus and follow his commands. The soldiers also have a deep conviction to protect the spirit and symbols of Christmas, which include the presents that Santa makes for the children of the world and the very children themselves. The toy soldiers work in unison to combat their threats, where some take the charge while another group focus fires with their rifles. These toys never tire, never know rest, and will work together to circumvent any obstacles that obstruct their path.
Single Unit. While each soldier has enough autonomy to function and attack independently, the toy's true merit comes from their ability to coordinate as a group. Often times a group larger than six toy soldiers will split into smaller groups focusing on melee or ranged attacks. Ultimately, the toy soldiers will follow whatever orders are given by Santa Claus.
This creature was translated into D&D Beyond by me (Starwolffan) however the original design was made by Deathbymage. The artwork used was created by Kinsey (per the signature on the final piece). Please show these original creators your love!!
For those who need it, Deathbymage's original post is located here! You will also find the original sheet for Santa Claus, Master Toymaker which I have also translated into D&D Beyond here. Please take time to drop some love his way as this is just a D&D Beyond translation of his work!
