Well I had plastic a "Carrion Crawler" spooned from a boxed game which looked hideous enough - so instead of letting it see through some 'slug stalks' I pained a large green eye in the middle of the creatures forehead. It works for me .. the only bad thing was that through an ingenious use of a light spell on its eye by a brave cleric - the thing was blinded and then killed by the party - although it nearly took the party's leader (a Magic-User) out. However, it did take the adventurers most of the night to overcome this foe, so that was a RPG result!

Lovely conversion job!
Were you playing DnD 5E when your cunning players cast Light on the pesky monster? If you were, could Mister pedant here ;) mention that in 5E the Light cantrip can't be cast directly on a creature. It can be cast on an object held or worn by a hostile creature but not the creature itself. It also doesn't cause the blindness condition.
If you could cast it on enemies and cause blindness, it would make it a formidable spell and would rather negate the use of the 2nd level Necromancy spell "Blindness". If I was the player, I'd be using this spell this way all the time now on every enemy...:)
I'll get me coat now..... ;)
Thanks Red Cardinal
I was pretty pleased on the paint job ;)
Thanks for the rules clarification, very much appreciated
In terms of game play the cleric in question had just been hit by a evil rotting flesh eye attack from the Nothic (that very nearly killed her) and was extremely close [every attack opens up a momentary weakness in the attacker] .. so I'm calling the it on me as the DM bringing the doom of the creature upon itself by opening its eye too wide [as the exception to the rule], it still brought another character (the Magic User party leader) to 1hp - so it "did its thing"! ;)
However, your point will stop this cantrip becoming a killer quick win weapon - much appreciated
