Ugh, I really hope we get more humanoid looking Cyclops. Never been a fan of this thing.
I also think they should be throwing rocks.

Throwing rocks as catapults I hope. Its time the cyclops hits the bench. We already kicked out Unicorns, Manticores, and griffons. And all three of those are higher up on my priorities list.

I'd take the Roc/Thunderbird over Cyclops in a heartbeat.

I loved the h4 design of it. The lightning running all around the body fits thunderbirds perfectly, Not Titans!

H6 cyclops look like, his right hand is so heavy, that is draging his entire body to the ground. Even with that huge club as a counterweight (must weight atleast couple of hundred kilos), he still can't keep his balance 
No wonder he looks angy, if his arm is keeping him from standing up in the morning.
And the "foam" around his mount confirms huge strain and physical exhaustion from having to stand up.

I would love it even more if they return to throwing goblins

It's just a matter of matching start and end quotations. You can stack them, just make sure you close them in the proper order again. For example:
Quote:
This is just a quote at a depth of 1
Quote:
Quote:
And this is one of 2
Combining, we get:
Quote:
The one of 1 ... Quote:
and the one of 2 depth.
See? It's not that hard.
But that as an aside. Just count the [ quote] and [ /quote] tags and make sure you open as many as you close - and in the proper order  .
Ok, enough for the off-topic now!

Maybe the name behemoth is common but the Heroes behemoth is unique (at least to me) and it hasn't been in a heroes game since 4.
I didn't mean Cyclops are rare myth creature BTW, cyclops isn't a rare myth creatures, baykok, cherufe and zhenniao are rare myth creatures.
Those few you named do look cool, but none of them fit stronghold. What would you rather have as a champion then if not a behemoth or a cyclops?
Edit: Not sure how to quote the same person twice while responding in between quotes. It did not come out the way i thought it would
Oh, sorry no, I didn't mean the Baykok, Cherufe and Zhenniao were meant for Stronghold LOL! Those were just random names. For stronghold I would like: All depending if they are desert, mountain or jungle Orcs of course.
(1 = Bergkonge or Moutain King from Norwegian/Finnish Mythology (very different from other dragons)
(2 = Buggane, in their giant mole-monster form from Manx myth
(3 = Death Worm, I love orcs being about deserts or mountains like in HOMM3, of course from Mongolian Cryptids.
(4 = Emela-Ntouka, the ultimate war charger beasts, these are African cryptids.
(5 = Gawigawen, the war giants from Philippine mythology with 6 heads that even wage war on each other.
(6 = Odontotyrannos, demonic-like Tyrannosaurus Rex monsters covered in teeth/horns, they are taken from Greek/Indian myths and the stories of Alexander.
(7 = Sandwalker, ENORMOUS scorpion monsters with four scissors and two scorpion tails. They terrorize caravans and camels in Arabian Mythology.
(8 = Yeitso, much like a armored giant monster which uses its own pangolin-like scales as throwing weapons and which can roll over you. They come from Native American Anaye-myths.
(9 = Zogbanu, enormous jungle/desert/savannah trolls and the ultimate hunters with enormous horns growing out their backs, they mostly attack other hunters to prove their strength. They haunt the jungles of Africa.

Calling it now, the Cyclops will be delegated to siege machine, replaced by other creature.

Just no.
Aside from being Norwegian and never having heard of this creature,
the name sounds hopelessly retarded.
And "sometimes can become a creature" doesn't justify that image, it's just too vague.

Given the appearance of more than one cyclops in the below trailer, I am doubtful of that notion.

You complain about the pokémonesque elementals and then you suggest this pinnacle of pokémonity as an alternative

i like the ubisoft cyclops, i think its from the "good ones" with pit fiend and some others. its original, its taunting, its strong.
i also love the behemoth because its original too, its super long destroyer claws, its ugly face and dat big body..
i just love both of them.
cylpos/elite, behemoth/champion OR cyclops+behemoth/champions 
never been a fan of dinosaurs, i think they ruin this game, looking really silly like they jumped from jurassic park/warcraft. dungeon veliciraptor was a big fail. no need. we already have those awesome wyvern, pao-kai etc etc... i want to see wyvern again and i gotta say i love ubisoft wyvern, doc cards, dark messiah.. they are looking awesome and they are very different from drakes/dragons which makes them even more awesome.
hmm i just realised ubisoft made a good job with some post-h5 stronghold creatures, centaur, cyclops, wyvern... they are looking amazing.
goblin + orc are for other 2 unit slots.. so, i think we have 6 creatures allready 
personally for a new creature i rather want to see a non-orc creature, for example, ogre mage from h3, or a rider unit(wolf, camel, horse... anything but my deear basilisk, i want to hold my hopes high for lizardmen.) or entirely anything new and unexpected.
i hope they dont just add a stupid symbol animal unit like they did with sylvan or necro(deer and spider, meeeh...), this is my only single wish.

Couldn't find a better picture for the Yeitso, that isn't anything like it.
And the rest of you are hopeless... you keep hanging in the old boring stuff...
Better give up.

What do you even mean by that?
Bergkonge sounds great to me, but i'm not norwegian, I also hat the name Grootslang because it sounds dutch.
He can also be called Mountain King or Mountain Wyrm.

Those aren't any more inspired than Ubi's 'Snow Maiden' or 'Slayer'.
And I need more credible references, I've yet to see a Norwegian site mentioning this creature that's supposed to be part of our folklore.
The closest is Dovregubben, which is basically a troll king character in Peer Gynt.
For the record, due to our language's close proximity to Dutch, I don't think much of the Grootslang either.

While I agree with you in that I ... ehh, have a resentment against that particular name for that very reason, does this mean you're Dutch yourself or that you just hate the Dutch language? (or maybe both )

Still the Bergkonge is used a lot of sites, its just probably a very old forgotten myth, just like the Ladon, Lampade and Nosoi.

@I'm Dutch, but I don't dislike Grootslang because it sounds like this creature is named after a mans big private-parts lol Dutch is just horrible language, rather speak English myself.
