Their usual tactics is simply to rush straight at the enemy, counting on their numbers, speed, ferocity and toughness to break the lines of the opposing troops, causing them to be nicknamed “Brutes” by the Empire’s Crusaders.

Going into battle without pausing for breath, Crushers are believed to be pushed by the winds of their guardian spirit, Father Sky.

They won their freedom along with the Orcs, who adopted them as allies, considering them to be favoured children of Father Sky.
 [[File:PIC_creature_stronghold_harpy_ability_strike_and_return.png|left]]'''''Strike and Return:''' Harpies are very nimble fliers, they can attack and retreat in the same move, making them difficult to corner.

They are impossible to counter-attack as they fly with incredible speed and manoeuvrability.

Half-man, half-hyena, Gnolls were designed as trackers, capable of relentlessly pursuing the enemy’s scent. Once they enemy has been found, however, Gnolls prefer to stay away from the melee, attacking from afar with throwing knives.
|
| '''GNOLL HUNTER''' [ [https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0004/prod/images/units/stronghold/PIC_creature_stronghold_gnoll_upg_artwork_large.jpg concept] | [https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0004/prod/images/units/stronghold/MOV_creature_stronghold_gnoll_upg_attack.webm video] ] When a Beastman is created, the resulting being keeps most of its Human intelligence, but also inherits the instincts and tendencies of its animal side. For Gnoll Hunters, this translates as an opportunistic (some would say cowardly) streak. Gnoll Hunters will let others fight in close combat, only intervening when they can land a blow at the enemy without putting themselves directly at risk.
 [[File:PIC_creature_stronghold_gnoll_upg_ability_opportunity_shot.png|left]]'''''Opportunity Shot:''' Gnolls are vicious fighters. If one of their allies is attacking, they always try to use the opening to throw a dagger in the flank of the targeted foe.

Half-human and half-horse, the Centaurs were originally given the menial tasks of carrying messages, pulling carts and work in the mines. Being both mount and rider, Centaurs can fire deadly arrows and then move to higher ground, or dash to a place before firing from the most deadly positions.
 [[File:PIC_creature_stronghold_centaur_ability_mobile_shooter.png|left]]'''''Mobile Shooter:''' Thanks to the perfect coordination of their legs and arms, Centaurs can either move and then shoot or shoot and then move.

They have mastered the art of disengaging from melee combat: when the enemy gets too close, they move away from the front lines in a couple strides while shooting arrows at their foes. They are one of the best harassing units on all of Ashan, and it takes tactical expertise to outflank them.

Though Wyverns are smaller than Dragons, they are still rather impressive animals. They have large, bat-like wings, and their body is covered with reptilian scales. The Sand Wyverns found in the Sahaar desert are attuned to Earth magic, and possess regenerative abilities.

Dwelling in in the most inhospitable areas of the Sahaar, these Wyverns are distinguished by their ill-tempered character and a peculiar habit of killing anyone or anything that trespasses on their territory.

Basilisks came to be after the battles of the Mythic Age, when the blood of wounded Dragons ran across the face of Ashan, turning primitive animals into magical beasts. The most dangerous weapon of the Basilisk is its ability to temporarily petrify its opponent with its gaze.
 [[File:PIC_creature_stronghold_basiliskrider_ability_petrification.png|left]]'''''Petrification:''' On a critical attack, the target of the Basilisk Rider has to face the gaze of the creature, and gets petrified for a moment, at least.

They have multiplied like rodents, despite the Wizards’ best efforts to destroy them. Goblins are devious and cowardly… but even they can muster some courage once mounted on creatures such as Basilisks, especially when they can use their long spears to keep enemies at bay.

Born from the blood of major demons, they became monstrous giants, body and mind twisted by chaotic surges. While many factions would love to harness their power, only the Orcs have the strength, patience, and courage to welcome them in their villages as tireless workers, and on the battlefield as heavy shock troops.

This makes them dangerous to everyone, their own kind included. A select few Cyclopes can intuitively channel this rage through their “Evil Eye” to incinerate their enemies from a distance.

Scholars have surmised they are the same creatures referred to as Behemoths in the tales of old. The long claws of the Behemoths are incredibly sharp, and are capable of tearing apart most materials.

Younger behemoths are usually the hunters of the group, while the older specimens, recognizable to their grey fur, are tasked with guard duty. Woe to the imprudent who trespasses on the group’s territory: Ancient Behemoths are bigger, fiercer, more cunning – and surprisingly agile for such hulking creatures.

''Dissidents in the Seven Cities, Necromancers were first persecuted and hunted. However today, they stand in the rear of waves of undead armies, countless in number, infinitely obedient and immune to fear or pain. Heroes from Necropolis can raise dead enemies to reinforce their ranks and replace their own fallen lines thanks to their racial ability: Necromancy.''

===Ebon Knight===

As all members of House Eterna, Ebon Knights can raise the dead to reinforce their army after each battle, but their talents are best used on the battlefield itself, as they can leverage the full extent of warcries, warfare units, offensive maneuvers and spells to send their enemies to Asha. They are also experts of dark magic, casting terrifying spells to weaken their foes even more.

Main skills: Necromancy, Offense, Dark Magic

===Death Knight===

Death Knights are the spearheads of the Undead armies, usually tasked with expanding the Necromancer’s dominion. On the frontier, Death Knights can take control of new settlements and towns and manage their growth more efficiently. But while they are good administrators they remain masters of Necromancy, able to raise large armies of skeletal regiments to serve their purpose.

Main skills: Necromancy, Warfare, Economy

===Bone Guard===

As patient as death itself, Bone Guards are the protectors of Heresh. Masters of Necromancy, they can raise and control Undead armies, but they also know when to negotiate the surrender of their enemies instead of killing them. Make no mistake though, when a fight to the death cannot be avoided, these heroes won’t hesitate to unleash devastating forces on their enemies.

Main skills: Necromancy, Defense, Diplomacy

''Emissaries of Asha, Magic Heroes of Necropolis also master the secret art of Necromancy, focusing on the erosion of the body and domination of the spirit. Thanks to their powerful spells they erode the will of their enemies before bringing them down to the graves and back in the ranks of their own armies…''

===Necromancer===

The Wizards of House Eterna are powerful spellcasters, using dark, prime and water magic to terrify, hurt, slow or freeze their enemies, before raising their corpses to reinforce their own troops. Aside from their magical abilities, tough, they are also skilled commanders on the battlefield, capable of dealing a fair amount of damage using offensive abilities and the power of their warfare units.

Main skills: Necromancy, Dark Magic, Offense

===Embalmer===

Embalmers are the keepers of balance. Educated and passionate, they have an interest for both the dead and the living. Powerful spellcasters, they rely on both Prime and Dark magic, but their talents are not limited to magic, and they also knowledgeable in economy and diplomacy. When it comes to battle, however, they are not to be underestimated: they too can raise the dead to fight on their behalf.

Main skills: Necromancy, Prime Magic, Paragon

===Archon===

Masters of time, Archons learned the art of Necromancy from Belketh, the Angel of Death, himself. They still use dark magic and even fire magic from time to time, but they are scholars first and foremost, students of Asha’s eternal cycle of Life and Death. Less fanatical than the other members of the Spider Cult, they act defensively in battle, and wear down their foes with infinite patience.

Main skills: Necromancy, Prime Magic, Defense

Combining blind loyalty, indifference to hunger and thirst, and a lack of any sense of fear or doubt, the Skeleton is considered to be an excellent servant, using his sword and shield to bring death to the living.

Armed with solid shields and dangerous blades, these superior servants are quite capable of shifting the balance of any battle in their favour.

However, traumatic events can cause the creation of a Ghost, a spirit bound to the material world by a powerful, negative emotion. By performing a specific ritual, Necromancers can convert Ghosts into loyal servants, under their absolute control.

They often appear in great numbers in the aftermath of a great battle, a disaster, or a plague. The despair of their plaintive weeping can rack even the hearts of hardened warriors… but those who have encountered them often say it is the way their eyes seem to follow you everywhere that is truly nerve-shattering.

Their venom is especially dangerous, as it is not only poisonous and corrosive, but also spiritual in nature.

As they grow in power, Liches may earn the right to be embraced by the Spider Goddess herself to die and be reborn as Akhkharus, or "Vampires". Vampires don't need to eat, drink, sleep or breathe anymore. However, they need to drink human blood on a regular basis to thin this venom down, and prevent it from dissolving their body from the inside.

Higher ranking Necromancers are given a life-prolonging elixir that is milked from the venom of the Goddess's sacred spiders.

They keep aging however, until they look little more than walking mummies… The venom mixture also colours their whole eyes bright green.

Archliches gain comprehension of greater powers, some which can be used to sap the lifeforce of living creatures.

The resulting creature was too unstable and was literally short-lived… until a humble embalmer discovered their true potential.
