And of course there are fantasy creatures like unicorns war-dogs dragons giants goblins ogres and demons plus creatures from mythology such as Medusa Minotaurs Cyclops and Pegasus. A good battle needs good weaponry and here are catapults battering rams and castles bursting with battlements and other defenses.
