All Sanctuary creatures are considered Ashan Nagas. They receive -50% Damage from Water Magic spells and +25% Damage from Air Magic spells.

Commentary

Shark Guards and Wanizame are the Sanctuary's plentiful grunt units. They offer decent bulk at an average Speed for their level, but shine in their ability to cripple enemy movement.
Ferocious Wound inflicts a flat -3 Speed debuff on their target (unlike Slow or Wasp Swarm), which makes them especially effective against slow-to-medium speed targets. It also deals a flat amount of Damage based on how many Sharks Guards/Wanizame are in the stack (as a stand-in for their damage-over-time effect in Heroes VI).
Wanizame's lust for blood makes them even more effective at damaging targets that have been wounded by them or any other Shark Guards/Wanizame.

Commentary

Kappas and Kappa Shoyas can be used to great effect once/twice per battle with their Leap abilities. This allows them to catapult themselves into combat and maximise their Jousting bonus; they can even jump over walls in sieges!

Commentary

Coral Priestesses and Pearl Priestesses are staple damage/support hybrid units. They suffer no range or barrier penalties due to their beam attack (and abilities in Heroes VI) but compensate with low survivability and a high unit cost.
They slow enemies after attacking at range, with Pearl Priestesses' Advanced Slow reducing enemy Speed at peak effectiveness.
Pearl Priestesses can also Resurrect Sanctuary units twice per battle, giving players a reliable method of retaining troops before Level 4 Mage Guilds are built.

Commentary

Spring Spirits and Mizu-kamis are perfect scouting units and mid-game brawlers. They're simple, speedy, and reflect damage just like units with Fire Shield.
Mizu-kamis take -15% decreased damage from ALL sources; this stacks in an additive manner with their Ashan Naga heritage, thus they receive -65% Damage from Water Magic spells and +10% Damage from Air Magic spells.

Commentary

Snow Maidens and Yuki-onnas are strong ranged units that can freeze problematic enemy stacks for three turns at a time. They are also agile enough to reposition away from enemies in many mid-game fights while giving the hero only a minor movement penalty, making them another useful scouting/clearing unit on secondary heroes.

Commentary

Kenshi and Kensei are trained warriors, far speedier and bulkier than their Bracadan cousins. They are most effective at fighting groups of enemies, though their ability to retaliate more than once per turn gives them an advantage facing any foe.
