Before attacking check whether the target can supply Life Drain. Compare recovery with casualties after landing and subsequent enemy ATB actions.
Watch for: Non-living or otherwise ineligible targets do not provide the same recovery as living armies. Higher Initiative does not itself extend movement reach.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 7 sets movement reach; Initiative 11 concerns ATB. A movement change is not the same change in action frequency.
Flyer: Crosses obstacles while moving; the destination must be empty.
No Enemy Retaliation: Melee attacks prevent enemy retaliation under the ability’s normal rule.

Combat specialty for this recruitment line (2)
The 3.1 manual explicitly names this form as a specialty target. Under the relevant hero it gains Attack and Defense every two levels, with the first +1 at level 1. This is not a sourced starting-army count, town-growth bonus or automatic Speed bonus.
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
The reference is Tribes of the East 3.1. Initiative concerns ATB and Speed concerns movement; increasing one does not automatically increase the other. Upgrades and alternatives have separate profiles.
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.
177 creatures from the Tribes of the East 3.1 manual: 168 faction variants and 9 neutrals. Original and alternative upgrades remain separate. Stats exclude heroes, artifacts and spells. Speed determines range; Initiative determines ATB action timing. Costs include rare resources and are per creature.
