Neutral creatures.

Neutral creatures can be recruited from specific dwellings on the map, and sometimes
they join your armies.  Normally, using neutral creatures in your army isn't such a
smart move.  This lowers the Morale of your army and to reinforce the stack of neutral
creatures, you must return to a specific spot on the map and other heroes can have
recruited them before you.  Above all that, if you don't recruit them before the end of
the week, the amount of available creatures doesn't increase as it does in towns.
There are two situations where neutral creatures can be useful:
  1. Neutral creatures are nice to strengthen the armies of supporting heroes or as a
  garisson army.
  2. If you are able to recruit neutral dragons, (see below) then do so.  These creatures
  are of level 7+ and in larger numbers they can make a hero invulnerable.
