Lack of Obese human / npc / pc minis from all manufacturers


Homebrew and House Rules


So a major NPC in an campaign "plugin" i want to write is an evil alchemist named Fat Nero. I wanted a sweet mini to help me set up for trial runs and to help with inspiration. I found zero suitable minis on the normal scale, and very few obese male humaniods (human, half elf, half orc). The npc is a half orc so I did not want to use a dwarf/halfling mini and I was prepared to customize with paint and even part removal (this NPC is not supposed to be armored or armed). So, why is there such a universal lack of obese characters in the fantasy mini market? I understand many PC's would not like to play a bumbling fat guy, but especially evil or noble/rich NPCs being overweight seems like it would be common. Can anyone steer me towards a Pathfinder scale medium stand size fat mini pref in noble clothes without a weapon? And no, not the village idiot or the innkeeper, this guy is rich.

Also, when I went to Reaper Miniatures's website, I typed in the word "fat" and about a dozen results popped up.


Thank you very much, I did not go to the Reaper website, just looked at the Reaper stuff here, there are a few there that might do. Cheers!


Garravank, Goul King, perhaps with a careful paintjob in regal colors and a file job with gold paint for that fetish in his hand will be perfect. It will give the impression I want for this NPC: a combination of gluttonous luxury matched with a foul personality and face.
