Well, yes, there are a few others, but none of them suffer the problem as severely as the Moloch: The Moloch's Imps *FLY*, which means that they IMMEDIATELY get in the face of the enemy and rout the next turn, before the Moloch can even finish casting his spells. This means the Moloch will practically never be able to outrun them, and the Imps are weak and cowardly and rout quickly. The Shades move more slowly and have better morale.

Also, the Lord of the Gates sucks, and isn't really that cool-looking to boot, so nobody uses him when the Prince of Death can do the same thing with better magic for the same cost. He has the same problem, but nobody really wants him, so it's not a big issue.
