Oi! That's a tough one..
One of my favourite creatures in homm
I really like h2 one, but h4 is also gr8, especially with the no retal thingie
and h5 shdow dragon looks awesom too with it's smoky black body andgreen eyes
I Thinnk I'll go with 4 though. This is the only one that I think is as powerful as a ddevil.

The shadow dragon should have been in there. Could a moderator please add that option?

H2, all the others look like they're made of plastic.

Voted Heroes II

Haven't really played the fifth one, the third one is just plain ugly and the fourth one is actually pretty good but Heroes II I like the most.

Any but the h3 ones :), but I voted h5. I agree the dark shadowy figure with green (though would have preferred red) eyes just is the best for a 'dark' town.

I agree that the HoMM 3 dragons are the worst, though not that awful. They just look like glow in the dark action figures, and they don't have a very menacing aura about them.

The real choice for me is between HoMM 2, 4 and 5 upgraded. HoMM 2 is great, with that sneer on its face, and HoMM 4 is also excellent, except for the portrait which has a rather odd nose. ;|

So the shadow dragon from HoMM 5 is my choice, by a narrow margin. I think the smoky, intangible depiction is pretty refreshing and originial.

I wonder though, why does the portrait have red eyes, and the battle graphic green eyes?

H4 Bone Dragon, easily. B-) Its appearance, animations, sound effects... everything about it is just great. It is also the strongest bone dragon in the series.

Hmm may be all those fumes from the Necropolipse...who knows what that will do to something, even something that does not need to breath (could absorb through the skin). :hoo: :rip:

H2 looked the best, most dread of all. Heroes 3 was soft, like a teddy bear - the, when upgrade, they got bad signal from Television.

H4 was just a skeletal version of the bulldog black dragon. Weaker.

H5 was a lame that I cannot decribe properly. Coiled like that, it just seems more afraid than making other units afraid of it.
