http://paste.ubuntu.com/899374/ For the actual code.
In a fit of mad boredom, I have produced... these! The minutia is in the code, above, but I'll give a brief summary of why each is interesting to deal with.
Heavy Sentinel - Bone Giant
"A towering creature, made from the bones of countless bodies. An aura of flame bellows from within its chest."
It's a bone giant with fire spells. The primary trickiness here is that it has burning wake and cleansing flames, so your sustains are screwed. On top of that it's a beefier Runed Bone Giant, making for tons of fun. They even have Arcane Combat to proc their flame spell!
Glacial Legion - Ghost
"A massive, shifting, ethereal form floats in the air around an orb of frozen blood. Vapor pools on the floor beneath it."
A powerful ghost with a freezing aura, trails of ice cold vapor trail behind it, freezing anyone who tries to cross it. The Legion also casts ice spells all over the place with the expected quantity of fun. They are, however, not stealthed, unlike most ghosts. You can see them perfectly fine at all times. They're still completely capable of passing through walls, however.
Rotting Titan - Ghoul
"This gigantic mass of flesh and stone moves slowly, the ground rumbling with each step it takes. Its body seems to constantly pulsate and reform. Massive stones at the end of each limb form massive blunt weapons."
By far the least magic reliant, the Rotting Titan is a massive cross between a ghoul and an earth elemental. Slow, resilient, and it hits hard. Far more tricky, however, is what it does to the terrain. Much like an umber hulk, it burrows. Unlike an umber hulk, it destroys all adjacent walls. Additionally, it has a high probability of producing an earthquake on moving, knocking units away from it and scatting walls in radius 3 around it.
Arch Zephyr - Vampire
"The robes of this ancient vampire billow with intense winds. Bolts of lightning arc along its body. In its hand it holds a bow, electricity streaking across it."
The Archer Lightning Vampire Lord! Edge2054 suggested giving it the ability to replace its arrows with lightning bolts; I am incapable of such coding, so I merely left it in the code as a comment. Beyond that, this unit is quite fast to move, at +50% movement speed. It's not likely to rush you but good luck getting away from it.
