Let’s come up with a monster.

I think we could create several sub-factions. For example, a Jungle race – the natives of the dark jungles. It would include: a native, a shaman, a Mindy (giant snake), a rainbow snake, a Leo-headed creature, a Wollop (tiger-bear), a Bunyip (tiger-snake), and a Bandicoot (a creature resembling a rhinoceros with a snake on its tail and bat wings). Or, a Tundra race – the inhabitants of the northern plains. It would include: a snow warrior, a snow shaman, a Yeti, an Angyak (in Chukchi mythology, the spirit of a dead child left near the snow), a Horker (giant seal), and a Remorhaz (snow worm). These races wouldn't be playable, but you could capture their cities and subsequently recruit troops there,
