Very nice idea.  I will compete.
I have a few questions:
1. Are we allowed to compete with more than one creature?
2. Do we have to invent a new creature, or remaking a famous creature in a different way will be better?
3. Is this an one-time contest or it's devided to a few rounds?

Travelling Bard
lvl 3 neutral
Stats
Att 4
Def 1
Dam 2-5
Init 11
Spd 4
Hp 13
Abilities: No Retaliation. Singing.
Singing: Activated ability. The unit can waste its turn to perform one of three songs each with a special effect. The effect of the song will remain until the unit's next turn or until the unit takes damage. If a number of songs are performed simultaneously on the field their effects are neutralized. List of songs:
1. Stand and Fight - increases the defense and attack of all allied units (except undead, mechs and elementals).
2. Seek and Destroy - increases the speed and damage of all allied units (except undead, mechs and elementals).
3. Hail and Kill - increases the morale and initiative of all allied units (except undead, mechs and elementals).
Background: Travelling bards have always been there, walking the land singing songs. At first they were thought of only as entertainers, until a general witnessed how a few bards repelled a big group of brigands. The general noticed that the bards are so charismatic that their enemies are left defensless. Moreover, some of the bards remained behind and sang to their companions which miraculously increased their fighting abilities. After the battle the general approached the bards and it turned out that they will be happy to join his ranks for the right price.
(Titles of songs by Rainbow, Metallica and Manowar have been used in this post)

Bahamut
Bahamut is simply portrayed as an enormous being, God of Dragons or simply as "King of Dragons" In Arabian mythology and few others Bahamuts are represented as aquatic creatures (Dragon size of blue whale). In fantasy games such as Final Fantasy series Bahamuts are shown as "Dragon like" summons what comes down from outer space to annihilate every who stands in your way.
Here is few pictures of Bahamut's in FF series:
Bahamut in VII: First 3D Bahamut from 10 years ago.
Bahamut in VIII: They changed Bahamuts head and made bigger wings for it this game. Recolored picture.
Bahamut in IX: This is cutscene from 9 whit Bahamut after it burned down a city. Fire sparks still coming from the ashes.
Thats how Bahamut looks like and as this is Heroes board i was thinking it Bahamut could be level 8-10 creature or Summoned Creature by heroes. I personally like the Summon idea. There is 2 options for this. Either it's Conjured creature like Phoenix or one time powerful attack to enemy creatures. It's basically animated destructive spell then. Effect would be Meteor Shower or Armageddon like attack in middle of battlefield causing devastating damage on nearby enemies and minor damage creatures on back. Bahamuts attack is called Mega Flare in FF series but i think simple Flare could be better name for it's attack in heroes games.
Statics:
Bahamut: Lv8 Creature
Attack: 45
Defense: 45
Damage: 68 - 105
Initiative: 15
Speed: 10
Health: 360
Large Creature, Flyer, Immunity to Mind Control, Flare Breath (3hex), Dragon Dive (Instant attack on 1 enemy whit no enemy retalation)
Summon Bahamut: Lv5 Summoning Magic
Attack: 10 + 3 * Level
Defense: 10 + 3 * Level
Damage: 10 * Spell Power - 20 * Spell Power
Initiative: 15
Speed: 10
Health: 300 + 40 * Power
Mana Cost: 35 + 1* Level
Summons a Bahamut on the battlefield to fight on the hero's side. Only one Bahamut can be summoned per battle. If Bahamut dies hero loses all mana points.
Call Bahamut: Lv5 Destructive Magic
Damage: 20 + 15 * Power (on expert level)
Calls upon the forces of Dragon God Bahamut to deal massive non elemental damage to all enemy creatures and war machines on a battlefield. Enemy creatures standing in center of the battlefield (6x6 square) gets devastating double damage. Attack is Non elemental so enemy Magic Protection, Resistance, Immunities and Defense has no effects on the damage.
Alright that was my creature

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

Will work on stats when I can get access to typical 4th tier stats.
While on a raid for conquest a large troop of Blood Maidens got seperated from the main army. Lost in the mountains, they tried in vain to reunite with the main group. Just when they thought they were going to die of starvation, or worse, they stumbled apon a simple hut. Inside was an old monk who was living out the remaineder of his days in solitude. As was the monk's way, he tended to the Maidens, not caring who or what they were. During their stay they learned much from the old man, and once they were strong enough, he showed them the way to the Dungeon Army. To this day nobody else has heard or seen of him
It had been a long time since they got seperated, the army was retreating back to the underground. The sisters found that they no longer fit into this army, and decided to abandon it and go neutral. They went back to the mountain to train, but no sign of the hut or the monk could be found. Studing there for years, they have finally revealed themselves, things will never be the same.
Chaos Furies : They have gained much, but lost some things as well. No longer can they strike and return. Any creature that attacks them, or that they attack has a totally random spell placed on them. Can be any single target spell (that effects a creature) from any of the schools, including light. Spells like firewall, firetrap are excluded due to being non-direct spells). Also, they strike twice (but the random spell is only on the first strike of their turn). (Stats will be forthcoming soon)
Att: 12 Def : 12 HP: 12 Init 11 Speed 7 (Why? I have no idea hehe)
Sisters of Yin :Two strikes, No Retal. Also Stunning blow, Excrutiating strike (like the hero skills of same name). Take 1.5 x damage from magic but 50% from melee.
Att: 17 Def : 12 HP: 15 Init 12 Speed 9
Sisters of Yang : Melee Penalty, Caster, Ranged, Ranged Retaliation, unlimited retal. Can cast every light spell at basic skill (including mass). Take 1.5 damage from melee/ranged damage but 50% from magic.
Att : 10 Def : 19 HP : 13 Init 12 Speed 8 Mana 25
Probably either way too strong or way to weak, but there they are.

Alas, that is blocked at work. Most things are, but a few things manage to slip by them.

6th tier:
Arquen - Laque Arquen | Anri Arquen
The Arquen is a Shape Shifter. It looks like a huge rock, with small purple eyes. It cannot move, attack or retaliate, as itself.
The Arquens are very mysterious creatures. They are not well known by the large kingdoms of Ashan, and only the deeps living creatures (Mindflayers, Dark Elves) know their secrets.
The Arquens live alone. They don't need food or water to live, thus they have no reason to move a lot. However, they sometimes shift their shape to bats or minotaurs, so they can get to know the area caves and the caverns around them. When they feel danger, they hide themselves by turning to rocks. Therefore, it's very hard to catch control an Arquen and only practised mindflayers can do that, so they are very expensive for their level.
Laque Arquens are swift, comparing to most of the Arquens. Their swiftness helps them to avoid waiting after the shape shifting. Anri Arquens like to shift their shape to masses of creatures.
Attack: 0 - 0 | 0
Defense: 15 - 15 | 15
Damage: 0 - 0 | 0
Speed: 0 - 0 | 0
Initiative: 10 - 10 | 10
Hit Points: 105 - 120 | 120
Attack Range: None
Shots: 0 - 0 | 0
Shot Range: None
Mana: 0 - 0 | 0
Cost: 1670 - 1870 | 1870
Growth: 2 - 2 | 2
Special Abilities: Large Creature, Shape Shifter - Large Creature, Shape Shifter, Swiftness | Large Creature, Shape Shifter, Anrious.
Shape Shifter:
The Arquen can change hiself to any enemy creature on the battlefield. The number of the creatures in the stack will be Arquen's_Stack_HP/Creature's_HP. The maximum number of creatures is the number of the enemy stack. The Shape Shifting takes a turn. In the end of the battle, the Arquen will return to its original shape.
Swiftness:
Shape Shifting ability doesn't take a turn. The Quick Arquen can play right after it shifts its shape.
Anrious:
The maximum number of creatures in the Anri Arquens' stack (after the shifting) is 1.5 of the number of the creatures in the enemy's stack.
An Arquen and Arquen shifts its shape to a Red Dragon:
 
Comments: 1. It's supposed to be faster.
2. It's my first animation ever. 
Edit: The contest was supposed to end on the 2nd of November (according to the masterpost). Now it's the 5th of November. Is anyone going to judge it?
