How to use this creature in practice

Compare Ice Bolt with Slow, Song of Peace or Create Illusion. Choose between damage, delaying an enemy and adding battlefield presence.

Abilities and limitations

  • Spellcasting

    Creature spellbook: Ice Bolt · Create Illusion · Slow · Mirth · Song of Peace · Cowardice. Uses the stack’s mana and its own action. Spell strength depends on creature numbers rather than the hero’s attributes.

  • Flying

    Crosses obstacles, units and walls during combat movement. It still needs a free, reachable landing position.

Where to obtain and develop this creature

The building unlocks this form. Availability and hiring are separate.

Growth and construction prerequisites (3)

Growth support is not another recruitment site. A prerequisite may unlock one of the recruitment forms.

Reference stack cost and health

These values multiply every resource in the undiscounted reference price and full base health. Hero, equipment, spell, price and growth modifiers are excluded. This is neither final damage or battle survival nor a guarantee that the listed number is available to recruit.

Reading this profile correctly

Action speed, combat movement and adventure-map movement are separate attributes. Weekly growth compares reference values; Heroes IV replenishes creatures daily.

Resource costs are part of recruitment. For an entire stack, multiply every component, not just gold. Base growth excludes additional town, map and hero bonuses. Zero shots means no regular ranged attack; the creature can still have spells or other active abilities.

Original roster scope

74 creatures from historical Jaskinia Behemota tables: 48 town creatures and 26 neutrals, including four from The Gathering Storm and three from Winds of War. This is not a separate Equilibris database. Action speed, combat movement and adventure movement are distinct stats. Melee and ranged defense are listed separately. Growth is a weekly comparison value; Heroes IV adds creatures daily. Check how a neutral creature can actually be obtained.
