the problem of behemoth

Unread postby vhilhu » 02 Oct 2006, 19:36

behemoth - in h3-h4 it was ape, in russian and some other languages it means hippopotamus. what should it be like?

the question is important, as barbarian/orc town will likely be the next one made. and its lvl 7 will probably be behemoth, its already a tradition, and a good one.

so, vote!

I think it should stand on two legs like an ape, but I think it should look like a hideous, mutated, beast-like monster. (The H3 one isn't hideous enough and reminds me of my old dog. :disagree:) It should be gargantuan and make you tremble like when you hear the phrase "griffins eternal." :S

And thats exactly the beauty of the creature.With claws like that he could shred anyone/anything into small pieces.

ehh, seems im the only one voted the bull this far. h3 swamp gorgon wont come into the swamp in h5, maybe even swamp town wont come, but i already imagine a huge bull with dark scaly skin and big horns would be great. ape is not too bad also, but i like the bull more.

The Behemoth should remain ape-like.

Voted H3, but maybe a bit more gorilla-like... But keep the face.

IMO, behemoth should stay a ape.

What if the snow ape will look like an ancient behemoth from homm3. Than you could say that the behemoth will be a neutral. Hmmmm....not sure if it's a bad or a good idea.
Where exactly does the rainbow end?

As much as I love Age of Mythology (and that is dinosaur-like not aardvark-like by the way), I'd have to say that Ape-like behemoths have always been the staple in HoMM and in H3 they were done particularly well: strong, ferocious, deformed, and mostrous. That is precisely the image I would want the new ones to convey. (Of course it would be a disaster if the monkeys from H4 were brought back)
Happy Millenium!
