Creepy Vecna Statue Brings One Of D&D's Most Dangerous Foes To Life
WizKids has opened pre-orders for a new statue of Dungeons & Dragons villain Vecna, who is also set to appear in the upcoming season of Stranger Things. Vecna is one of D&D's most powerful villains, starting out as a lich, before ascending to godhood and becoming feared throughout the entire D&D multiverse.
Vecna originates from the world of Oerth's Greyhawk campaign setting. He started out as a mortal king, who performed the transformation into an undead lich, becoming the ruler of a vast empire. Vecna's initial bid for godhood was thwarted when his lieutenant cut off his hand and slashed out one of his eyes using the magical blade Vecna had forged for him. Over time, Vecna would rise to godhood, becoming Oerth's God of Secrets, with followers who seek out forbidden knowledge in the service of their dark lord. D&D's disembodied Eye and Hand of Vecna also took on a life of their own, becoming incredibly powerful magic items that can replace the missing body parts of a player character. That character will gain incredible magical abilities, but their soul will slowly be lost to Vecna.
