That's interesting. We could do the same thing with the Nighthawk. That is, in the Root editor, create a spider Nighthawk, and in the regular version, a human Nighthawk.
It seems that the human version of the Nighthawk didn't make it from the sixth game, only the spider-like one.

Speaking of the rights issue.
Could we somehow contact Ubisoft and ask for permission to use assets from their Might and Magic games (specifically Dark Messiah, Heroes 6/7, i.e., their older, less relevant projects) for non-commercial mods for the 5th game?
We could hint that everyone is already doing this (with numerous proofs here and on ModDB), and if Ubisoft gives the green light, it will be better for everyone. Could we write a collective letter from the resource?
It seems that Psatha has already done something like this, but it would be good if information with permission, along with proof, was prominently displayed on the forum. And it should be clear who issued the permission, not just "they gave me permission," "who?" "Irina from Ubisoft."
