Someone definitely adapted the mod for their version; it even includes somewhat crude ports of the Kirin and Kenshi creatures. A friend sent me this mod once, so I know it exists, but I don't know where to download it.
That's a shame. The only thing that attracts me to HoMM 5.5 is all the campaigns in Tribes of the East (well, let's assume that's fixable) and the ability to convert cities to suit your faction.
