Lugia is a Psychic/Flying-type Pokemon that was first seen in the second Pokemon film, Pokemon 2000, which was released in the United States on July 21, 2000. The Legendary Pokemon was originally created for the film and then ended up being featured in the following games Pokemon Gold and Silver as the Silver version mascot.

Reddit user Becca3D posted an image of the impressive statue she made of a kaiju version of the Legendary Pokemon Lugia. The statue is very detailed, with scales on the figure making it look a lot like the dragons in Skyrim. It also includes the three stones that were featured in the Pokemon 2000 film, where Ash and his companions had to bring those stones to a shrine, then play a song in order to summon the legendary Pokemon.
The statue was being mentioned in the comments as something that would work very well in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Other fans chimed in on this with a lot of the comments theorizing how this kind of statue could work as a monster for players to fight, with stats and lore being suggested as well by commenters, keeping in mind Lugia’s type and abilities as a Pokemon.
This statue is truly stunning in all the detail, coloring, and atmosphere it has, in addition to the shrine Lugia is standing over with the stones of the Legendary Bird Pokemon. The thought of this type of figure being used in a D&D campaign is a very cool idea, and it could work very well if built the right way. It could also work in Pokemon TCG battles for some creative visualization if a player has a Lugia in their deck.
The existence of figures like this being made by fans are always out there, and they are cool to see. Similar statues of Pokemon have been shown off by fans, an example being a gold figure a fan made of another Legendary Pokemon Mewtwo. Fans like Becca3D and others truly love the Pokemon franchise enough to dedicate themselves to making some of the best art related to the franchise. There is a certain exclusivity to fanworks such as this; some might not even be for sale, but work put into them is always priceless.
