I found out that the might and magic games had sprites like that long time ago! I had ideas about making an enemy conversion thing for hexen, but then realized I don't know what I'm doing and filed it under "yeah, I'll never do this"
But they're good, there's more in other games too.

Which games? I donno, I never played any of them.
Heh, you beat me to it, I was gonna post those next. :)
The Warlock, Fighter, sexy Necromancer and Medusae are from Might and Magic VII, the Nagas are from VIII. I played these games since III, they are great turn-based strategy, sadly they don't make them like this anymore.
An important change in VII was that enemies had factions and could attack each other too - hence, they now made attack and hit animations that turn every which way. Death animation still turns towards the player, though.
You left out some of the best ones from
Might and Magic VII:
Elven Archer: These ladies wear a revealing top and hot yoga pants! :D And they do a great "fall on their ass" pose when they die, legs in the air and all. They aren't really enemies, serve as city guards in elven towns - of course, later in the game you can choose to be Good or Evil, and if you choose evil, they like all good NPCs become hostile.
This brings us to another elven gal and IMHO the hottest one - I'd love to see fanart of them - the
Elven Female Peasant. Yes they are just NPCs in the towns you can talk to, but they are armed with staves and look druid-like, having attack animation and all. They have a supreme hot outfit with a laced bodice and long leather pants also laced at the sides, revealing a lot of their bare skin... as elves like it. :)
Human Female Peasant: Again, usually not enemies, unless you join the evil side.
Genies: I think this would not fly today, but yeah, you can basically see their bare butts... swirling air vortex for a lower body or not, they certainly don't wear panties. :) And they have the hottest cute little vests. In death though, they leave no bodies, they get sucked back into their lamps.
Last but not least,
Water Elementals! Yeah these fishy mermaid-girls with fish heads are all female, and all naked (sans nipples though). Like medusae, they have a great writing animation and end up with tits up thrust in the air as their upper bodies collapse on their tails.
Btw, Heroes of Might and Magic III came out before Might and Magic VII, and a lot of the creatures in this game are based on those models.
