I'm going to be vague here so as to minimize spoilers, but Scenario 77 has a special guy for which there is no standee, so I made this model to use in that scenario! It's a bigger 3-hex model, so don't worry that it's printing larger than would fit on a single hex =)

This was really fun to make because there was no official artwork (that I could find) for it, and so I got to really exercise my creativity in interpreting what it might look like. I landed on a concept that I feel is pretty unique, but it ended up being a real pain to print! So to that end, there's a few files here. There's the Scenario77-Boss.stl file that is just the whole model. On my FDM printer, I actually had really good luck printing this guy using PrusaSlicer's Organic Supports and some support blockers. Those blockers had 2 standard boxes to stop excessive support from being generated around the fins on the back and the tentacles on the front (as you can see in the attached screenshot), but I had to create a pair of custom support blockers as well to stop support from intertwining with the cape and inside of the mouth (the Support-Blocker.stl file that's included here).

I know that's a very specific way of printing the model, so I also made a split version that cuts the upper half of its jaw and body away from the lower law and tentacles (the -upper and -lower .stl files). The lower half needs no support, but the upper half needs a ton (as seen in the other screenshot that I've posted). If you're using support trees, that's probably the better route to go, as the trees that I tried generating for the whole model ended up growing from the lower teeth and inside the mouth and were generally going to be very problematic to remove.

All of that is to say, it started as a challenging model to design, but then it was also a challenging model to print. Fortunately, I think it ended up in a pretty good place on both counts =)

As always, the .blend file and pre-supported .3mf (including the one that I used to print this on my Prusa MK3, although the support points should work for SLA printers) for this model are available to my patrons at https://patreon.com/VirtuallyJason.
