Those good, old creatures...
Many creatures is not in the game yet, althought they (could) have a reserved place in HOMM V. Some of the missing creatures (HOMM II, HOMM III, and HOMM IV) should be return because:
1. I really loved some missing creatures (I marked them with *)
and
2. Here might are such fans who really want to see their favourit creatures.
So I made a list of the missing creatures. I hope I didn't miss one of them
So:
Venom Spawn*
Thunderbird
Cyclops*
Pegasus
Nomad*
Harpie
Centaur
Naga*
Erfreet*
Bandit
Gold Golem*
Basilisk
Wyvern
Gnoll
Ogre
Halfing... and more (I there are anymore left)
A mixture of thease creatures into one town can porbably solve the problem... But how can it work?
P.S: Of course there are creatures you've already put into a town but I wrote them down here because theyare not officially in the game.

lets see now:
vemon spawn wasn't a good, old creatures, just a fairly bad, new creature
thunderbird, ogre and cyclops are bound to be coming in the expansion, either in the orc town, or my stampede (if Ubi take inspiration from it!) the naga have already been decided to be a new faction for an expansion.
alot of the other creatures are either in the game under different names (scout=bandit) or being used in the nuetral factions in further threads.

... Which is probably the #1 worst approach to making a good faction.
Wrong: Take units, make up theme.
Correct: Take theme, make up units.

I somehow perfer...
Take Theme, Take a Game-playing-style or unique strategy for that faction, make up units that would work along with hero/faction's special ablity.

Cyclops and Nomand might come back but other creatures like Golems and Nagas place are allready taken. Nigtmare/Pit Lord before Efreet imo. And i don't miss those Venoms at all.

You forgot some:
Pikemen
Centaur
Pegasus
Gorgon
Goblin
Orc
Ogre
Bemoth
Harpy
Troglodyte
Evil Eye
Medusa
etc...
etc...
And I think, that putting all those creatures in one town will be mistake.
Again, as I said in Daystar's thread, don't do HOMM4 mistakes.
In HOMM5, every town has one race.
Not doing that, was one of the biggest mistakes of HOMM4.
Learn from past's mistakes.

To be fair, it was not a mistake they "made" with Heroes 4. Look back to Heroes 3 - Dwarves, Elves and Humans in one town; Goblins, Orcs, Ogres and Cyclops in another, etc. Many of the HOMAM towns have always been a mess, and it's only in Heroes 5 that they made it entirely systematic. Still, I agree 100 %, that grouping together a bunch of different creatures without having a very strong theme is a mistake.
