* MightyGlacier: Dragons. By far the slowest units in the game- but by FAR the strongest (most units die in one or two attacks, unless they're astrals, but using the skull mage's astalize on the dragon can solve this) and by far the most durable. It takes an ARMY to bring down even one. Or a well placed [[NotCompletelyUseless sleep spell]] from a Grimalkin.
