As Necrofill rightly pointed out, Cerberuses are a mix of reptile and mammal. Moreover, the designers didn't spend much time thinking about its model; they simply took the image of an animal that went extinct 250 million years ago. It was called INOSTRATSEVIA and was a reptilian, mammal-like creature. It's almost identical – a massive tail, legs on the sides of the body, a head... It was about 3-4 meters long, and like a mammal, it was warm-blooded and had a small coat of fur... in short, those who are interested can check this out themselves. I'm not lying:)
they really copied the image; the designers just tweaked it a bit.

They (Nival) think that we, as fans, don't understand anything about mythology and history. They are deeply mistaken!!!

In Heroes of Might and Magic III, if my memory serves me right, dragons looked like trained dogs, either standing on their hind legs or performing the "sit" command...
Apologies if I'm wrong. But it's hard for me to compare those images with these. There's a significant time gap.

I checked the admin's link and don't see anything wrong; they're normal elementals – remember the fire elementals in Heroes of Might and Magic III and IV... I don't understand why they're considered less appealing than these.

In Heroes of Might and Magic III and IV, they looked good.

And what about the 3D animation in Heroes of Might and Magic V? It's actually quite well done. And even if the models themselves aren't that great, they still look pretty good... (in my opinion).

They look great in Heroes 3 and 4.

Fire elementals?
Are you serious?
In Heroes 3, the elemental was decent until it started moving. As soon as it had to move, it turned into a burning American Superman. It flew, I think, with a limb extended forward. Hilarious.

In Heroes 4, it's a bonfire with eyes, spitting out small sparks. No comment.

As for the "plasticine dogs," it's a pretty good depiction. I'm glad the designers abandoned the "Pavlov's dog" look, leaving only their function from the "dogs."

In the third game, the elemental was weak until it started moving. As soon as it had to move, it turned into a burning American Superman. It flew, I think, with a limb extended forward. Hilarious.

In the fourth game, it's a bonfire with eyes, spitting out little sparks. No comment.

I agree with Voron.
Compare, for example, the Bone Dragon from the third or fourth game with the one from the fifth. The comparison clearly favors the latter. In my opinion, the dragons in the fifth game are the best in the series. I don't see anything wrong with the Archangel being female, although, if we're talking about beauty, the angel in the fourth game was more beautiful (one of the few beautiful monsters in the fourth game). Overall, with a few exceptions, the fifth game has a pretty decent roster of monsters. The funniest thing is that the architecture of the fifth game allows for model replacements, so there won't be any problems in this regard

For example, compare the Bone Dragon from the third game or the fourth game with the one from the fifth game.

What is there to compare? :)
In the third and fourth games, the Bone Dragon was a Bone Dragon, but in the fifth game, it was just a blot on the screen.

I'd rather have a bonfire with eyes or a fiery Superman than this abomination in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

I'm not a great speaker, but I'll chime in:
Cerberus was never a lizard! And a three-headed foreigner is a powerful creative idea! I'll think about it in my spare time – what other lizards I can suggest to Nival as monsters, orcs, or dwarves...

dwarves...

Yeah, especially dwarves... the way I imagined lizard-like dwarves, that's how a dwarf ended up...

And in general, in Heroes 5, there's a complete dominance of reptiles... a reptile rides on a reptile and drives another reptile...
And I'll tell you why... it's just easier to draw 3D models for them, and the textures accordingly... I haven't seen 3D wolves and bears with fur in Heroes, but all the other animals are smooth or scaly...

They are smooth because the material – "wool" – is a very complex undertaking, and it would definitely cause significant performance issues, so they decided to sacrifice visual appeal for the sake of performance.

But no one forced them to choose 3D.

In my opinion, it's a perfectly decent creature. It's not even comparable to what was in Heroes of Might and Magic IV. The elementals are also quite decent. The best angel in Heroes of Might and Magic III (especially the archangel). As for the dragons, I can't say anything yet, as I haven't seen them. If anyone lets me take a look, thanks in advance.

Besides, in my opinion, he sends everyone on a long, arduous journey in the American style... So, a fireball to the face, and no one will feel sorry for him...
