Even late game, that's useful.
Yep, that is the other big advantage. I'm fond of using a pathless Wyrm as EA Arcocephale, as they lack elephants and as such don't have a great initial expansion. Moreover, they have the Priestess and its healing ability, meaning that little things like crippling injuries no longer matter. Plus, they will be useful for once mystic massing starts, because being able to pepper Mind Hunt all over the place is extremely useful in the mid game, particularly on defense.
