Description
I designed these in Blender, using procedural texturing (for the ridges) as well as fully rigging the models to pose them. I'm sharing my 6 favorite variations, so if you're running an encounter with several of these guys you can have some variety and dynamic poses.
The bases are 25mm diameter, as these aremedium sized monsters.
Minis tend to be best printed on SLA printers - but for reference I printed these on an FDM Ender 3 Pro, with a 0.4mm hotend, and they needed minimal cleanup. Printability verified!
Please feel free to download and print these minis - I'd LOVE to see some action shots of your using them in-game! Please do be advised, these are not for commercial use.
I plan to design many more D&D monsters, and variations of each that I do - so follow my page to get any updates as they become available!
Designed based on the Monster Manual 5th Edition, page 138.

Optional: Artifact Cleanup
If you're printing on an FDM printer (as I did with my Ender 3), you may find some artifacts in the print - particularly on the underside of the mushrooms' bulk, and possibly on or around the whip-like tentacles.
To clean these up, I just grabbed a rounded needle file and lightly knocked back the surface defects until I was happy with them.
