Sorry, for some reason the idea of a Nigon successor for Heroes 5 also caught my attention a couple of days ago. Anyway, I've come up with something and decided to post it here—maybe it'll be useful...

Town – Bestiary.

Hero – Archot (moves on a throne attached to the back of a giant scorpion).

After the escape of the beastmen and orcs from the Silver Cities, half of the mages decided to stop experiments on creating new creatures. But not everyone agreed... Many mages left their homeland and set out to find a place where no one would interfere with their research. They decided that the endless underground caves would be a perfect place for them.
Several centuries have passed since then, yet a unified authority has never been established. Power is divided among several Illuminati (if you prefer, Cabals or Synclits), each pursuing its own policy. For example, the "Scorpion's Sting" illuminatus dreams of world domination and gathers huge armies; the "Eye of Argus" is essentially a religious sect led by the mysterious All-Seeing Argus, who preaches that man is an imperfect being and a new, higher form of life must be created...

Arachnid – a mutant bred from a scorpion. It has good defense and a claw capable of snapping through Knight armor, but it is somewhat slow.

Gapia – as usual: foul temperament, but high speed.

Evil-eye – Levitates and attacks with beams from its eyes.

Lamia – a snake-woman capable of spitting poison over a short distance. In close combat, she lashes out with her tail.

Warlock – some sorcerers aren't opposed to fighting themselves—after all, it's a good opportunity to find out what the sun is like.

Chimera – a terrible monster that attacks similarly to a Cerberus.

Typhon – the most powerful creature created by Warlocks. For now. It breathes a stream of fire and explodes upon death.
