no, the myrmidons is a human, who to quote the third edition,

"If you have the melee rules, disregard the statement that a Myrmidon has st
12, dx 12 and a broadsword.  A Myrmidon may have any ST, DX, and IQ totalling
32, and may be equipped with any aromr, wepaons and shiled, Just like a
beginning figure in Melee.

Remember, that the Myrmidon's in melee / wizard are first.  the bug - warrior
was invented and called a myrmidon AFTER the creation of this summoned
creature.....:

      Myr7mi7don    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (m{rm-dn, -dn)
