In Hebrew it calls "Arpad".

Vlaad meant European languages, I think. Of course, vampires aren't called vampires in almost any language outside Europe (in Chinese, for example, vampires are called xixiegui )

Not smaragdni...?

Stone Gargoyle - Kamena vodoriga
That's cool.

Champion - Prvak
Hm... I think champion and šampion (prvak) are false friends here. Champion is a valiant fighter, a defender or a supporter.

Well, leš means corpse. I would need to see the etymology of the word lich to figure out a possible translation. Most people associate lich with leech (at least the verb), but the translation Pijavica would be very inadequate
You are correct, I forgot about smaragdni, it sounds much better.
There is one other word besides Vodoriga, but I can't recall it.
True, but prvak is sometimes used for people (knights here) who are "prvaci svog kraljevstva" (champions of their kingdom) where the noun isn't used in sports or other similiar meaning. So I guess that it can stand, if something better isn't made up.
I wasn't sure wether to use Smrtonosni vitez or Vitez smrti but I decided for the first simply because of the unit's special

Webster says that lich comes from Old English lic, akin to German leiche (corpse).

Well, I guess than it is so, but personaly, leš sounds somewhat silly to me. I would rather find some old slavic word which resembles the modern version.
