Also wouldnt flying creatures be slightly better tramplers anyway? A big creature hitting you from above would be quite damaging after all .
Yes, it would. Ever been on the receiving end of an owl's claws? I haven't personally, but my dad has been and the results weren't pretty. Half his face was swollen to twice the normal size, he nearly got a concussion and the only thing that saved his eyes were his glasses (thick frames and thick lenses), and the frames were a writeoff).

Mind you, this was a Ural owl, which weighs somewhere around one kilogram and it only hit him once. When you add anything the size of flying tramplers in Dominions... *shudder*

A flying trampler does not need as much mass as a non-flying one simply because Ek=½mv^2 and flying tramplers generally come at you much faster.
