Ancient Treant, Sylvan. Level 6.
181 health, 29 defense. you get 5/week with buildings, so that is 905hp/week. On top of it all, anyone you touch is stuck next to you for the rest of the fight.
Lets looks at the durability/week of some other units:
Ancient Treant (Sylvan, lv 6) - 905/week with 29 defense.
Titan (Academy, lv 7) - 380/week with 30 defense.
Black Dragon (Dungeon, lv 7) - 480/week with 30 defense.
Deep Hydra (Dungeon, lv 5) - 750/week, with 15 defense.
Paladin (Haven, lv 6) - 400/week with 24 defense.
An -insanely good- tank... and one that can entangle enemies to let your druids/hunters/etc... have a field day with um'. When used right, these can be the most frustrating thing in the world to try to fight against.

My favorite creature is, Squires. Though, in Heroes 3, they would be called, Crusaders, which could attack twice.
I do like it how their, Large Shields and Shield Allies, repels any physical ranged damage by half and especially their, Shield Bash.
One time, it was my Squire (1 stack) vs my opponents Ancient Treant (1 stack). It was very funny, every hit from my Squire kept using Shield Bash, my opponent couldn't use his creature to attack.

Yeah ancient treants can endure a lot of damage, but they are really poor in dishing it out, combining pathetically low damage with equally pathetical initiative.

My favorites for each tier are:
1. Assassin (poison relly is helpful)
2. Horned Overseer (don`t know why )
3. Iron Golem (they look cool)
4. Grim Raider (my personal favorite)
5. This was tough one, but I must say that Djinn
6. Pit Lord (Loved them since HoMM 3)
7. Emerald Dragon (I think that acid breath is cooler than fire breath)
These are my pesonal favorites.

A tough one... though I can tell you what I disliked.
what they did with the minotaurs is a shame.. their golden armor and brown skin looked much better in Heroes III.
Also the Archangels.. their nice, but doesn't seem as powerful as those in HOMM3, with the flamed sword and shining blue armor.
The Archdevils are okay I guess, though they seem more like super strong behemoths rather then respected devil lords of hell.
that's it for now I guess!

Rakshasi(They're females)Rani, although they made them terribly flat-chested
Does anyone else notice the absurdity that many unit upgrades are also sex transformation surgery?
The Dungeon faction all in all
Also Titans, for looking freaking awesome, but being pretty dissapointing power-wise
Interesting point, if that is true, it might explain some units reluctance to get the upgrade  Which units did you think... changed?
Raja means King in Indian Language. And, Rani means Queen. I personally think that the game maker just unintentionally misused the words Raja and Rani, so sex transformation is forced to be thought accidentally???

males are usually stronger than females, so what's the problem that raja is stronger than rani?

It's nothing wrong that male usually stronger than female, this is not my point. My point is that the upgraded unit should normally be the same sex as the unupgraded one. All other upgraded creatures in this game are that way. Conceptually it should be that way too. But, it's also not that wrong or that unacceptable to be diffrence sex... Nothing serious, just share my openion.

On Heroes 3, the Genies are female and the Master Genies are male. I also heard the Water Elemental is female and the Ice Elemental is male.
It is a curious question, but frankly, its just a game!

the fact it's just a game doesn't mean you should have bizarre and non-logical things in it.
Even in a fantasy setting, there is logic. The world works with different rules than the one we know, but rules nevertheless. It's funny to think they have sex-surgery in Ashan.
as for the Raja/Rani thing, notice how the Rani have a lioness's mane, while Raja have a lion's.

Necromancer- Vampire Lord is my favorite. Even seeing them die is cool, as they burn to dust.

The Pixie/Sprite has always been my favourite since the previous games, and it continues into HoMM V. Spray damage and the Sprite's spell casting is quite dandy, even if Wasp Swarm doesn't do much damage and lacks the "lower initiative" special (then again, I'm not sure if the hero's spell has it either).

My favorite armies are...
lv1 Skeleton Archer (BANG! And you're dead!)
lv2 Blood Fury (Hit and run whit no losses)
lv3 Master Hunter (Double Shot)
lv4 Succubus Mistress (Chain Shot is awesome)
lv5 Archlich (Good specials and damage)
lv6 Paladin (These really makes you or breaks you)
lv7 Archangel (Resurrects fallen Paladins)
Creatures that look great...
lv1 Sprite & Assassin (Sprite wins here clearly)
lv2 Archer & Blood Fury (Archers looks great)
lv3 Minotaur Guard & Iron Golem (Minotaurs looks good again)
lv4 Druid Elder & Succubus Mistress (Expesially Druids looks great!)
lv5 Lich & Nightmare (Lich looks good)
lv6 Pit Lord & Wights (They both looks REALLY good)
lv7 Arch Devil & Archangel (Arch Devils looks so damn good)
There aren't many favorites among the Academy. My first reaction when i saw the Gargoyles "  WTF!? " Well thats only one creature. Inferno creatures looks all great!

In HOMM 3&4 I liked genies best but since they rather suck in homm 5 (because theyre large have 2 few HP and no defense) I'm voting for magi piercing attack is really cool and theyre good spellcasters, also like paladins a lot for the cool model and incredible jousting attack!
My favourite creatures according 2 lvl would be:
lvl1:master gremlins (repair)
lvl2:blood furies (duh)
lvl3:master hunters (stunning is just wrong!)
lvl4: archmagi/vampire lords
lvl5: deep hydra's (finally t hydra model looks great and hydra is actually useful)
lvl6aladins
lvl7:archangels(model looks fantasic)/titans

My favorite army (I've just played the demo, okay) is the Haven Army. That's probably from my interest in Arthurian lore.

Phoenix is prolly the coolest unit in the game. Titans are pretty nice as well, shame the rest of the Academy faction doesnt appeal to me.
