I wonder what old-school mini would proxy for a one-square dragon.

Not old-school and not exactly the same kind of dragon, but I think this one from Reaper Miniatures (Ref. 77503, Artist: J. Guthrie) could be quite valid... and cheap. I already ordered one ;) .

Here you can check the size it has compared with a standard miniature:

I guess they are putting in the second gargoyle too... someone (me also) tweet them:
- Oh, and don't forget to throw in that extra Gargoyle too, just in case it will feel alone
- Awesome that you made this happen. Will we also be getting the extra GARGOYLE that was the last locked tier right before this?
- We should not be greedy, but.... I feel gargoyles should come in pairs!
- Awesome that you made this happen. Will we also be getting the extra GARGOYLE that was the last locked tier right before this?
- This is awesome... but.. what about that 2nd gargoyle?
and in one of his tweets Zargon sayd:
- TWO GARGOYLES ARE BETTER THAN ONE I SAY

I've been stoked since I learned about the 2021 re-release, alas I was too late to participate in the kickstarter campaign. I just got a email reply from Avalon Hill stating that they only made enough games for the backers, but I still have some hope that Iay be able to purchase a copy somehow. No matter, discovering the re-release is what lead me to this fan website and for the past year I've been collecting and creating my own HQ. Loving being a part of the retro gamer community :)

So perhaps they ended up putting the Gargoyle too?


Sadly, the tweet’s been deleted. What did it say? Where there images? Anybody save it?

Thrilled about Venom, and I suspect the crypt furniture piece may open and be large enough to put dice in? Although that really does seem “too big” then… Anyway, I’m happy to finally have real news, good news, and an estimate of when we’ll get our hands on this. Very, very happy.
The best thing about HeroQuest is the lifelong unlocks on the imagination.

Don't know about any deleted tweet, but there's these.
