Posts from Neutral creatures in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

I don't know. I found information about Nagas and Ifrits in a mythological dictionary;)

Yes, you're right.

I saw in the book "Rumors of Aheminida" that
Efreet are creations of the imagination of dark "teasers," or, in our terms, dark mages of Babylon, who were supposed to gather an army by 1701 and unleash their wrath upon the world, destroying it and creating a new world. By the way, I'm curious what else you found about them (share if you don't mind).
And wyverns appeared in Gallic legends; they were considered harbingers of the end of the world.

And in which mythology were there elementals?
I only know of them in Slavic myths - leshy, devils in a whirlpool.

Of all these neutral creatures, the Phoenix raises the most questions. The Elementals and the Knight seem fine; they can handle it. But the Phoenix has become some kind of Harry Potter-esque creature, a shapeless bird from a cage... Or, at the very least, if anyone has seen The Chronicles of Narnia, they'll immediately remember that Phoenix, which scorched the field and burned itself! And how that kamikaze resembles the Phoenix in the screenshot... or rather, the opposite, most likely the developers, after watching the fairy tale, decided not to overthink it... and that's what came out. :)

I don't understand, are we talking about Ifrits or Efreet?
An Ifrit is a type of jinn in Islamic mythology, distinguished by its special strength. In the Quran, an "Ifrit from the jinn" is tasked with bringing Solomon the throne of the Queen of Sheba. In the folklore of Arab peoples, Ifrits are considered the souls of the dead.

I was reading about Efreet, and I know that in Muslim mythology, there were Ifrit... but even there, they are not the souls of the dead, but creatures created by sorcerers (from their sick imaginations). ;)

Where did you find Efreet in Heroes? ;)

Night
And the elementals from ancient Greek mythology. It was there that the first philosophical schools, more precisely the Milesian school, studied the fundamental principles of the world. Such wise men as Thales, Anaximenes, Anaximander, and Heraclitus asserted that these elements were the four components of the world, and each philosopher considered one of these elements to be the primary foundation.

Then, let's not draw from ancient Greek mythology, but rather from philosophy;)
And we are talking about mythology.

Yeah, philosophy and mythology are somewhat related :)
