WizKids has opened the pre-orders for a new life-sized Dungeons & Dragons Quasit figure, allowing players to bring a bit of the Abyss into their campaign. Unlike recent WizKids figures, like the D&D figure of Lord Soth and his dragon, the Quasit figure isn't intended to be used on a game board, unless the player is fighting Godzilla, or maybe a Tarrasque.
The Outer Planes of the D&D multiverse are home to various afterlives, which contain supernatural beings that represent good, evil, law, and chaos. The Abyss is the Chaotic Evil plane and the home of the demons, where powerful Demon Lords such as Demogorgon and Orcus dwell. Each of the Demon Lords rules over different layers of the Abyss, where they command armies and cities that are used in their endless Blood War against the Lawful Evil devils.

The Quasits are among D&D's weakest monsters in the game, but that doesn't mean they are harmless. Quasits are a little over a foot tall and resemble demonic-horned frogs, and they possess the power to transform into various small animals. While they occupy the lowest rungs of demonic society, to the point where more powerful demons will often tear them apart for fun, they can also be recruited by certain spellcasting characters to serve as familiars. The D&D players who possess a Quasit familiar can soon bring it to the table in a lifelike manner, as WizKids (via Bell of Lost Souls) has announced that pre-orders are open for a life-sized Quasit figure.
The customer might need to have a lot of D&D's gold and silver coins to hand, as the life-sized Quasit figure costs the princely sum of $475, not including shipping, and is expected to be released in Q4 2022. The exact height of the figure hasn't been given, but it does weigh 18 lbs. The Quasit figure is made from resin and is hand-painted, with detailing on its claws, teeth, and the spots that run across its body.
The Quasit figure isn't meant to be used on a game board, but players with a familiar could have one to hand. The D&D 5e Monster Manual lists variant familiar rules for the Quasit, which would be perfect for a warlock player, or any spellcaster that belongs to an evil alignment. It's also likely that D&D players would buy one to enjoy having a Quasit figure on display in their home, similar to the Dungeons & Dragons Vecna statue that WizKids announced this year.
