Here's a clear example of how, based on the resources of two standard heroes (Duncan on the left, Sareth on the right), you can create something in between (Dugal in the center), and then add a head and other accessories to give it a unique look (bones from Neck, Plate, and Chest were used)! :smile13:
I see, it's probably from Sareth...
Okay, I'll remove the deer, but I won't add anything new, I'll make a crystal.

Guys!!! No need for the standard gnome!!! ((( You can make a flag, but it won't be in his hand... The standard gnome has a rather small and ugly body, as far as I remember... But it could be like this. It's easy to implement, and the animation will work too. Just draw a "flag holder" on the mammoth's skin. Or add it as an effect, if you can find something to attach it to. How does this option sound to you?

But you can't add the entire rider as an effect, as psatkha suggested, because of the arm... ((( you'd have to leave the standard gnome's body...
