Кстати, Ганимед, по поводу "заимствования" пошли уже разговоры на НС:

Oh I didn't knew WoG were planning on these, but even so why couldn't they use them? These are all usual creatures, frequently appearing in many kinds of RPG and strategy games, it's not like people would call them stealers, or even if yes they wouldn't care cause it'd still be awesome, and it's not a shame to steal ideas if they were great.

Народ по ходу не знает истинных причин (что, впрочем, неудивительно), поэтому для них это является нормой.
