{{TroopStack}}
'''Creature''' is general word for all entities a hero can encounter or hire in {{homm3}}. It can be interchangeably used with unit, troop or monster. However, the original manual uses the word 'creature'.  
'''Creature''' is a term for all entities a hero can encounter or hire in {{homm3}}. The word is interchangeably used with '''unit''', '''troop''' and '''troop stack'''. Typically, the words troop and troop stack are used when talking about hero's army. The original {{roe}} manual states, that armies are made up of creatures arranged in groups called troops.


In the [[adventure map]], creatures appear in [[wandering creature]] stacks. Without [[Visions]] spell or [[Rogues]] in the army, a player can not see exactly how many creatures there are, but they can see a rough estimation as seen in the table below.
In the [[adventure map]] creatures appear in stacks. A player can not see exactly how many creatures there are, but he can see a rough estimation.


On the [[battlefield]], Creatures appear in [[troop stack|stack]]s. Stacks take their turns according to [[Speed#Speed as initiative|initiative]] and can move and/or attack on their turn.  When a stack takes damage, the 'top' unit of the stack loses health, and when it reaches 0 health it reduces the size of the stack by one and reveals the next-top creature, which starts with full health (unless the damage taken exceeds the current health of the previous top creature, in which case the new top creatures loses health accordingly). A stack deals damage according to the number of creatures in it.  When the last creature in a stack dies, it leaves a corpse on the battlefield which can be the target of spells/abilities like [[resurrection]].  All of the creatures that were in a stack at the start of the battle are in the corpse (rather than, say, the stack leaving small corpses behind every time any of the creatures in it die).

Every creature has its own sound effects:
== List of all creatures in Heroes of Might and Magic III ==
* Battlefield sound effects, which include those related to an attack by a creature (e.g. shooting), its special ability, damage after which at least one creature remains alive (some of them may be killed), and damage fatal to the whole stack. Usually they are the same for basic and upgraded versions of units (exceptions include [[Angel and Archangel|Angels and Archangels]]). If a creature's special ability is related to a spell, it has the same sound effect (e.g. Archangels' [[Resurrection]]), while completely unique abilities (e.g. [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampire Lords']] [[life drain]]) have their own sounds.
{{Creaturetable}}
* Sound effects you hear when getting close to an external dwelling. There are ones which are the same for different units. For example, near the most buildings of [[Necropolis]] units you can hear dreadful moaning, and for some reason, [[Wood Elf and Grand Elf|Elves]] and [[Goblin and Hobgoblin|Goblins]] share the same crude speech.
