"Otherwise, it doesn't correspond to..." what?

Apparently, to Vasik's expectations/fantasies.

Added 3 hours and 37 minutes ago
The strongest creature in Heroes 5: Armageddon's Blade is the Azure Dragon with azure breath (it burns through 3 cells).

The author of the skin, Psatkha, shared his dragons about 10-15 pages ago, but there wasn't time to create them. Now that moment has arrived!

Cool little dragon.

In the original, it has the ability to force enemies to skip their turns when attacked, which is a terrible trait here; it's exactly what it needs.

But it's not entirely clear where the enchanted armor, crystalline scales, and bear roar come from.

If you're going to give it enchanted armor, then the immunities to weakness and other things are redundant; they won't matter anyway, as it's not vulnerable to anything (except fire wave, chain lightning, hellfire, and pyrokinesis, and whatever else I forgot).
And it could use a bit more HP; in Heroes of Might and Magic III, the average HP is higher than just a 1:1 transfer here.

Added after 10 minutes
By the way, there's another problem: you've given it level 7, so it will be very vulnerable to hero attacks, which will significantly diminish its value.

1) It's not entirely clear where the enchanted armor, crystalline scales, and bear's roar come from.

2) Also, there's another problem: you've given him level 7, which will make him very vulnerable to hero attacks, and this significantly reduces his effectiveness.

Reply:
1) The enchanted armor is from Chaos (but it should still be buffable). The crystalline scales are from the Razorwing and Devastating Grasp. The bear's roar can frighten the target or even multiple targets (for the same purpose, the dragon has a skill that reduces the defense of all enemies by -1 and reduces the defense of all enemies standing nearby). In general, there's no skill like in Heroes 3, so we're trying to compensate for the lack of fear with what we have.

2) I fixed this immediately. Now he's level 8.
If the Azure creature is Tier 7, a level 1 hero deals 100 damage to it.
If the Azure creature is Tier 8, a level 1 hero deals 9 damage to it

yes, this terrible presence (fear when attempting to attack a creature, this is ABILITY_FRIGHTFUL_PRESENCE)

Added 11 minutes later
enchanted armor won't let it buff,
alternatively, to make it vulnerable, you need:

1) 4 immunities to elements
2) immunity to mind control
3) 2 immunities to berserk/subjugation from Sandro's cloak (only confusion and fear will work under the cloak)
4) immunity to weakness, slow, and blindness
5) 75 armor

With this, it will be vulnerable to some damage, but the original doesn't have immunity to 4-5th level spells, so 75 is even excessive, as is fire immunity, because both the original and your version suffer from fire shield (and should).

I'm hearing about this for the first time. Was it created but not used?
Or are you referring to the Nightmare ability?

P.S. I tried to connect it, and the game displayed the name "Terrible Neighborhood." I understand that when the enemy's turn comes, there's a chance they will become frightened. At least, that's how it looked in the battle.

no, what I wrote exists in Nymphs, Psathis, and some other creatures.

yes, but it might scare them not when the turn starts, but when a creature with this skill attempts to attack. Nevertheless, it's as close as possible to that fear.

Regarding fears and other concerns, I made a 12-minute video demonstrating how it works, even allowing it to sometimes defeat an AI opponent with stats of 80+. Like a dark dragon from Heroes of Might and Magic III, with claws. Even with my three mistakes in the first hero's actions (2 attacks triggered at the wrong time and the last unit not fleeing). https://storage.cloudconvert.com/tasks/a70b694c-1eaf-47a6-8b13-95a0171ce56a/dark%20dragon.mp4?AWSAccessKeyId=cloudconvert-production&Expires=1630323349&Signature=axcxQarDf0uJ2S5%2Fvmg62c%2Br8OQ%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%22dark%20dragon.mp4%22&response-content-type=video%2Fmp4

It's not in the mod yet, but work is in progress =)

I finally managed to add a video showing how the fear mechanic should work.

Hooray!
I don't know how the forum didn't mess up the link again.

My favorite creature in Heroes 3 is the Crystal Dragon =)
In Heroes 5, my favorite creature was the Lava Dragon (maybe because it reminded me of the Crystal Dragon in some way)
And now, the Power Rangers have united into one perfect version xD

Final result:

For the "heart," I had to use 10 particles and reduce each by 0.1.

Show a screenshot, there's no need to just post raw files.

Was texture applied and an effect added there as well?

I think they just recolored it; I've attached the pack.

P.S. Will you be making Nightmares and Fire Horses?

Sometimes I get scared by the messages from the respected comrade **vasik**, as if he is playing a completely different game. The screenshot shows… lashaaas!
