Statues are more of a mage thing. I think a sphinx will be in the elite tier; it wouldn't make sense for the embodiment of Ashtar to be hanging out with liches and vampires :D, and I liked the dragons in Heroes 4; they were terrifying when they attacked and had the best defense against ranged attacks.
