# Summary

My first time creating a miniature!  For my first release, this is Lamashtu, Mother of Monsters.  She's a signature villain in [Pathfinder's Golarion](https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Lamashtu), but she is a great villain to use in any fantasy rpg.  Lamashtu is based on an ancient [Mesopotamian demon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamashtu).  The historical mythological Lamashtu was a female demon, monster, malevolent goddess or demigoddess who menaced women during childbirth and, if possible, kidnapped their children while they were breastfeeding. She would gnaw on their bones and suck their blood, as well as being charged with a number of other evil deeds.

In Pathfinder, Lamashtu is an arch daemon who has achieved godhood, and she is known as "The Mother of Monsters".  She is the mother and patroness of many misshapen and malformed creatures that crawl, slither, or flap on, above, or below the surface of the world.

In either case, she and her cult make a fantastic nemesis and big bad.  I have also released a [Shrine to Lamashtu](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2885184), with this figure being used as a statue.
