Barnacle Bess Crab - 50mm/25mm (DND / TTRPG)

Another model today that was in my list - Barnacle Bess. She's a low level medium creature from Ghosts of Salmarsh - while there are crabs there weren't any called out specifically as Barnacle Bess so I wanted to make one to fill that gap. I sized her for both 25mm and 50mm baseplates. AI models of spiders / crabs etc... often have fused and warped legs and this one was no different. I split the legs and arms apart, re-positioned them and the unioned them back together. Technically should could be posed but I wasn't feeling super ambitious with this one so I left her as-is. The remesh at the end was more for creating better geometry rather than for detail so these could be a bit smaller or reworked with more barnacles. If there is interest I could do another pass on Bess here but otherwise I think she's a great crab to ruin any parties' beach day.

For FDM printing I would recommend printing her upside down with her legs pointing up. For resin the usual 45 degree angle with auto supports should be fine.

I'm on a quest to make 1000 dnd models in 2025 and you can join me on Thingiverse, Printables, Cults3d or see my weekly updates on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/c/Adamnant (as well as get codes for exclusive downloads on Cults3d). I'm focusing on models that don't seem to exist on Printables / Thingiverse and are listed in campaigns. If you have something that you need or a custom model like this that you want then let me know and let's make it!
