Horror NPC Characters — 5 Rigged Low-Poly Monsters

5 chunky, stylised horror NPC characters — game-ready meshes you can drop into any engine as enemies, NPCs, or atmospheric set-dressing.

Built for horror games, survival horror, spooky levels, and creepy scenes. Each character is its own mesh with a bold, readable silhouette — and 4 of the 5 ship with a humanoid rig so you can pose or animate them.

The cast (5 characters, ~18k tris each)

• HollowNurse — a gaunt nurse with a tilted head and bandaged hands (rigged)
• RustWarden — a hulking figure in corroded riot armour (rigged)
• PaleUsher — a tall, thin usher in a moth-eaten uniform (rigged)
• CrawlerMother — a hunched, long-limbed crawler with a curtain of hair (rigged)
• AshChild — a small soot-covered child clutching a burnt teddy bear (static)

What's in the download

• characters/ — all 5 as individual static .glb files, one per character.
• rigged/ — 4 characters with a humanoid skeleton (see Rigging below).
• all-in-one/ — all 5 in a single .glb (each a separately named mesh) for a fast drop-in.

Format & specs

• glTF 2.0 binary (.glb) — native in Blender, Godot, Unreal and Roblox; Unity via glTFast / UnityGLTF.
• PBR textures embedded (base color + metallic/roughness).
• ~18,000 tris per character — mid-poly: reads up close, stays light for scenes.
• Authored at real-world character scale.

Rigging (honest note)

The 4 rigged files carry a standard glTF skin — a 13-bone humanoid skeleton with skin weights — so the mesh deforms when you pose or animate the bones. They contain no animations; they're a rig, not an animation set. The rig is auto-generated, so treat it as a starting point: great for posing, retargeting a Humanoid/Mixamo clip, or hand-tweaking. Want static enemies instead? Use the meshes in characters/ and ignore the rig. (AshChild ships static only.)

How it's made (honest disclosure)

These characters come from an AI-assisted pipeline — concept art (Flux), mesh generation (Hunyuan3D), and texture painting were AI-assisted — then each was retopologized, decimated to a fixed ~18k-tri budget, cleaned of stray geometry, named, scale-checked, and (for 4 of 5) rigged, by hand before shipping.
