Since the game is going to be 99% land/air based (As they've said it's a 'land' strategy game) I'm going to leave out water ideas for now. Also good ideas for animal/monster/special powers/attributes would be good.
(Im at work, am tired, and cant spell)
Pegasi (If that's how you plural them): These might be in already but if not have many good reasons to add them to the game.
1-They're cool flying horses. 2- Putting armored soldiers with lances, Joust anyone? 3. Flying Archers, aka Super Mongols.
Shadow Mares (aka corrupted unicorns)
1. What evil lord doesn't want to ride in to battle on a magical, flesh eating, horse? 2. Flesh eating horse! 3. Only real way to make traditional fantasy Evil Knights.
Archons, aka lordly angel warriors. Probably in, but I can't remember if they were in MoM or not?
Were-creatures, wolves, tigers, whatever. All sorts of interesting possibilites with Were-creatures.
Vorpal bunnies, just because.
Djinn, aka Genies, -usualy evil creatures that protect certain areas. (These WERE in MoM)
Ancient race, there's talk of the old race that used the dragons, and other creatures, as pawns. Would be cool to have very rare encounters with them.
...ok this thread is a dud, but I'm bored at work- someone else come up with GOOD, UNIQUE, creature ideas!NOTE: Ok, one semi decent idea in another vein. Spell that combines two units/creatures. The artwork would be a problem so you just get one type of art for whatever you combine, BUT the stats are randomly jiggered between the two units so you might get a super army or total slime (And the middle ground of course)- The peril is of course that you lose 1/2 of what you're putting together. Say if you put a dragon and a troll together you only get one being after. Or if you put 500 swordsmen together with a sheep, you only get 250 men-sheep after. (you would get to customize name of unit of course). Just a percentage roll depending on your spell/skill level and any other help/detriments to the spell would say how well the meld went. This way you could create almost anything you wanted in game, even if it wasn't modded in. Lack of artwork would sort of suck but I for one would still love this (Obviously).
I don't think it's pegasi, because i'm pretty sure that pegasus is a greek word, and -us becomes -i in the plural in latin.
I'm not sure how I feel about Archons. To be cool, I feel like they would have to be sentient, and the devs have said that the only sentient creatures would be humans, fallen, and dragons.
Were-creatures should definitely be in.
Genies would also be really cool.
The combination thing would be cool, but it would be tricky to balance.
They didn't say that Ratya. or at least in the lore it says "It is, however, also home to some beasts that are not just sentient but possess an intellect far keener than most men."
And of course Archons would be sentient.
I just love my last idea because it would really help with 'style'. Who doesn't wanna conquer the world with sheep-men...or Ogre-Dragons...
Just to help futher speculation on Elementals creautres, I present you this link. This link is YEARS old and it surfaced during the speculations about stardocks new mystery project (known then as Not-mom). This project turned out to be Elemental.

As you can see Stardock has some really cool ideas for some creatures.
I can't find the new article it related to unfortunatly but I did find the link to the picture.
As for Dragon ogres I've got a unit of them in my Warhammer army.
MatBerryman - yeah I remember that picture. I also don't remember where it was posted, though - I think it was on the GC2 forums, wasn't it?
Anyways, I just noticed something. The image on the middle of the left edge of that picture looks a lot like it might have been the conceptual predecessor of the Swamp Lord in the first imagine of this dev post.
or it could be something else entirely? looks more skeletal to me, but its hard to tell.
Anyway, I know I'd love to see many exotic mounts. But as of yet, I haven't even really seen normal horses (I tried researching animal husbandry at PAX and nothing about it was implemented yet)
I for one would like to see some really wierd stuff such as.....
"MatBerryman - yeah I remember that picture. I also don't remember where it was posted, though - I think it was on the GC2 forums, wasn't it?"
Yeah thats where I found it oringally.
"Anyways, I just noticed something. The image on the middle of the left edge of that picture looks a lot like it might have been the conceptual predecessor of the Swamp Lord in the first imagine of this dev post."
I think your probably right. I didn't notice him.
I posted it simply because its old and not everybody has seen it, and cause the OP mentioned evil unicorns and right in the middle there is a blood red unicorn. Thats got to be evil right?
Heh, evil unicorns in most lore need to have their horns removed though. But yeah, that does look pretty evil.
