Don't insult the creatures; they are all charming in their own way. Gargoyles are cool (they look like statues from a tomb). Zombies are also not bad; after all, if someone rots for a couple of weeks like they do, they will also smell and look like them (I wouldn't envy them). And Ents are quite nice; our developers made them very original.
It's simple. Everyone actually preferred the previous model. They just saw a similar model in some other game. Because of this, our developers had to redo the giant Ents, giving them mantis-like legs.
