Dig it! I always wanted to know what was behind that portcullis in the illustration.
Tentamort? I had even forgotten that beastie existed!
A creature I never paid much attention to until I started combing the books for illos. It does seem to make a rather cool dungeon feature and I think it fills a similar niche to the Roper.
Thanks for stopping by, Risus. Overdosing on Star Wars Lego film. Oh my goodness. That's fantastic. Glad you liked Jeff Vader. I've seen it so many times and it still makes me laugh.
Catch ya next time.
