A good pretender is the Dogon. It starts with water 2 and dominion 4 as stats, has the fear ability and it can trample. It is easy to get water 9, domion 10, and good gold and production scales using it. So you get a good bless, high income, and a power super combatant all in one.

And to comment on something up above. Yes Arssartuts are a great unit, but they are vunerable to crossbows. But the fact they have a vunerabilty makes them an interesting and well balanced unit. It is one of my favorites.
