Devilry Afoot: Edge of Reason - Abomination and Hunchback

The next two monsters for the Devilry Afoot: Edge of Reason expansion are the abomination and hunchback - both 28mm sculpts from Heresy Miniatures.

Inspired by the so-called monster in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (published 1818), the abomination fits perfectly with an early 19th century setting.

The hunchback may be more controversial. The abomination's little companion is an Igor in every sense of the word, but Igor doesn't feature in Mary Shelley's work. Indeed, the trope character of Igor is a 20th century cinematic invantion and therefore, strictly speaking, should be omitted from the list of monsters in Devilry Afoot.

However, the titular character of Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, does fit the bill. The profile then, will be inspired by mostly by that character, with just a touch of Igor... 😇
