Breathtaking! 
The Putrid Lamasu
The Lamasu were a failed experiment by the wizards to create a superior breed of beastmen, by the unnatural fusion of a human being (usually a slave or criminal) and a magical creature (in this particular case, a Manticore).
The resulting creature was too unstable and was litteraly short-lived, but they still proved useful to the Necromancers. The Necromancers rose their dead bodies and infected them with pestilence. The Lamasu function as plague vector, coupled with the creature’s physical might, and its mobility make them perfect front-line troops in the Undead armies.
The Festering Lamasu is the upgraded Putrid Lamasu.

This is the second best artwork after the Succubus! Really good job here. But the name is again bad. Not Lamasu (it should be Lamassu, but that's not important), but the adjectives before it.

now that's an awesome flyer. Flying undeads (dragons not counting) indeed look innovative and 'fresh'.
Its Lamasu, as someone said quite some time ago  contrary to my thoughts of sphinx. And they did reduced the name, no double m's or s's so no misspelling, I believe
Poison, flyer, physical might. I wonder how this balances with the griffin, for example, as I guess it is supposed to be flyer, physically mighty and fast. Maybe this one is not as fast?
I think both normal and upgrade look cool, and the white/grayish makes the upgrade more elite, frightening and 'You can't escape from me' looking.

I agree that they both look good, but this is only if you view them seperatley. IMHO the upgraded unit should have a few more differences (this goes for most creatutres revealed so far) adding differnt shading and one or two new features doesn't change much. When looking from the adventure map i want to be able to distinguish between the non-upgrade and the upgrade straight away.
But the creature sounds awesome and makes a really nice change.

Excellent creature but the upgraded version is to similar to the normal one.
Also, 2 out of 3.
I said it would be within the next 24 hours and I was right. 
I said it would be a necro creature, and I was right.
I said it would be the Champion, I was wrong 
Ok next guess:
It will be Inferno.
It will be the third Core unit!
Edit: Seems my post was removed, can't find it, did I violate some kind of rule in that post?
I don't think guessing when, and what kind of creature comes next is against the rules right?
Edit2: And I'll stop guessing the dates, those seem to be set, not much sport in that.

Actually they post the updates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, unless it's a national holiday and the update gets postponed until the next day.
So I expect that we'll see the next new creature on Monday.

Actually it's going to be Monday, they never seem to post anything on weekends (Seraph was Friday but then Succubus was Monday again).

Monday is 15, right? So what's the big deal of 15 besides a creature? 
Or it won't be in 15?
I like creatures concept art, but could be something different, like hero classes, town info, skill system, something tangible, for god sake.

Not a big fan of the consept art, however their function in game as a fast poisoning flyer (that is durable) seems refreshing and interesting for Necropolis!

Creatures and factions are the most tangible, the rest is more about gameplay that won't matter much for a lot of people before they can actually play it.
BTW, since Lamassu is an undead beastman, Necropolis does not stray away from its formula after all.

That every unit has to be undead. Though the champion might just pass as a magical creature.

The Sun Rider was to shiny for a non-upgraded elite but the sun crusader is Great!

There is a complete list of creatures on Might and Magic facebook, there is a complete list in the art gallery and a few other places, it not that people wouldn't want to, it's just that there isn't much of a need to.
No disrespect, this thread is a great place for discussion of creatures.
And this new one is great, nice overall concept, good art (though the upgrade and base creature are a little to similar.) sounds like it has a few tricks up its sleeves.
Mr.Dragon is pleased!

For most people, they are, indeed. But we could use some some 2010 on this, couldn't we? Like videos showing animations, even if its just stand by (and I'd love to see the sun rider/crusader animations, for example), specially because there can be some difference between concept and implemented versions.
Or even that demo (or part of it) from the announcement day. Possibly something improved could be done, but its not really necessary. I think maybe something like this could really put some enthusiasm into people. It's alpha and with a lot of placeholders, yes, but for example the battle works, doesn't it?
