hint : if you want to hire cuddly abomination troop in the future choose as a race : Neutral . you will have 200 cuddly in greenworth.This troop can do insane amount of damage if you have more then 10.
I choosed dwarfs as a race and had only 1 cuddly in entire game but i managed to make more of them with sacrifice and warrior maidens.Now i have 25 and they make damage 10 000 - 90 000
the trick is that they can cast spells 50% of the time and 50% it fails , and from the 50% that works you have 15% chance that spell to be damage dealing spell. Usually they cast weakness or slow or decrease morale. The chance to inflict that damage is small... but it is worth it
