A floating, unanimated 1cm by 1cm cube. With a completely transparent texture. How do you see it? It has an effect attached to it, so it resembles a floating ball of burning fire, or a miniature star, or a whisp of smoke....etc. Element-related attacks.
Perhaps it would be better to have it about as large as the effect but still with a transparent texture, so that it's easier to hit it. Who would be able to hit a 1cmX1cm cube in the middle of a small blizzard, anyway?
The difference between that and what I had in mind is visual. I was talking about essentially a floating, playable effect (which is dymanic and can flash or bang or sizzle or whatever) attached to an invisible collision box.

Re: Unconventional unit ideas
Out of that list, I've done Giants, Tiny people, Plants and insects.
