Animalfolk Miniatures: Mousefolk, Harengon and Beastfolk Explorers by Bite the Bullet

The latest release from Bite the Bullet packs ten animalfolk miniatures into a single set, covering six distinct species from mousefolk to owlfolk. For anyone building out a beastfolk-heavy campaign party or stocking up on creature-type NPCs, the Animalfolk Explorers set is a good place to start.

What is in the Animalfolk Explorers set?

The full set includes ten models: four mousefolk adventurers, a badgerfolk explorer, a wolffolk explorer, a harengon (rabbitfolk) explorer, a hedgehogfolk explorer, an owlfolk explorer, and Elf Maiden Audrey.

Bite the Bullet are a Spanish design duo based on MyMiniFactory who release a new fantasy miniature set every month. The Animalfolk Explorers is one of their recent releases, printed to order in grey resin and finished by hand in the UK by TabletopXtra.

Each model is designed around an explorer or adventurer build rather than a specific class, which keeps them versatile. The four mousefolk adventurers sit well as a full PC party on their own. The wolffolk and badgerfolk have a heavier, sturdier look that suits fighter or ranger types, while the owlfolk has a more scholarly build.

The four mousefolk are also available as a separate purchase: the Mousefolk Explorers sub-set comes in at £16.99 at 28mm. Individual models from the set start at £6.29, so adding a single harengon or hedgehogfolk to an existing collection without buying the full ten is straightforward.

Animalfolk miniatures for DnD and other tabletop RPGs

Harengon were introduced as a playable race in Dungeons & Dragons: The Wild Beyond the Witchlight and have held steady as a popular PC choice. The harengon in this set is kitted out as an explorer: light armour, a pack, practical rather than dramatic. That works well for ranger, rogue, or druid player characters, and the neutral pose means it doesn't look awkward next to other scale figures.

The variety across six species in a single set is unusual. Most beastfolk releases focus on one creature type (tabaxi, aarakocra, or kenku tend to get their own sets), so finding harengon, mousefolk, owlfolk, wolffolk, badgerfolk, and hedgehogfolk in one purchase simplifies things if you want a mixed beastfolk expedition party or a roster of differentiated NPCs.

Bite the Bullet's previous release on TabletopXtra covered fey-type characters. If that setting appeals, their Fairy Pixie Fantasy miniatures set is worth looking at alongside this one.

Sizes and pricing

The Full Set of ten models is priced at £30.99 at 28mm. At 32mm the price steps up slightly; 35mm and 40mm are available for heroic or large-scale use. For display or collector purposes, 54mm and 75mm scale options are listed.

The Mousefolk Explorers sub-set covers the four mousefolk models at £16.99 (28mm). Individual models from the full set start at £6.29.

All models are printed in grey resin to order and finished by hand in the UK. Dispatch takes 5-8 working days. Orders over £15 go via tracked courier.

Why beastfolk miniatures are worth having in your collection

Demand for animalfolk miniatures has grown a great deal over the past few years. Official stat blocks in DnD 5e and 5.5e cover harengon, tabaxi, aarakocra, leonin, and others, and the player demand for miniatures that match those builds has followed.

The practical reason to buy a set like this is variety. Ten models covering six species means the same purchase works for a PC party, a rival adventurer group, a tavern scene with unusual patrons, or background figures at an expedition hub. The hedgehog and badgerfolk models are distinctive enough to register as characters rather than generic creatures.

Bite the Bullet's sculpts hold up well at gaming distance. Close-up photography can make detail look overwhelming, but on a 28mm model across a game table, the detail reads as characterful without looking cluttered. The explorer framing (packs, travelling gear, mixed weapons) also means these models fit campaigns ranging from city intrigue to wilderness adventure.
