Juggernaut is a third eraFirecreature that is desired for its dominance of third era. It has the most lifepoints for creatures of this era and is second in non-upgraded damage only to Spitfire, yet Juggernaut I and II upgrades steal that title as well. Because it is an extra-large creature, it has the ability to knockback small and medium units by walking through and over them, knocking them back and doing 10 points of trample damage.
Its Stampede ability is also a highlight, with a non-upgraded damage potential of 7750. While the description indicates that it does "170 damage to enemies along the way," this damage is applied to each individual squad member of a unit. For creatures featuring a single unit, this damage is only 170, but squads of small "x6" or medium "x4" creatures, this damage -- assuming all creatures in the squad are stampeded -- multiplies to a total of 1020 and 680, respectively. Additionally, trample damage of 10 per individual is applied to small- and medium-sized creatures -- up to 60 and 40 damage, respectively -- thus resulting in a total of 1080 and 720 for x6 and x4 squads.
Though reaching Stampede's full damage potential of 7750 seems like a long shot (46 individual creatures need to be trampled), facing eight "x6" squads will do it, but finding them bunched up in a line like this seems unlikely. Regardless, for 100 power it instantly kills nearly any of the small "x6" squads with the exceptions of Phalanx and Defenders that have their Stand Ground ability enabled.
The real potential of Stampede lies in its ability to utterly annihilate structures of any kind. Power Wells, and Orbs in particular.
Finally, be wary of stampeding (and trampling, in general) Phalanx in Defensive Formation or creatures with Payback, as doing so will shorten your Juggernaut's lifetime; running over one Phalanx squad with Payback enabled causes 1380 (1500 and 1620, upgraded) to your creature. Running over two or three of these at a time is an easy way to lose a Juggernaut.

Lore
With an admirable sense of purpose, the monster crashed through row after row of buildings like a cleaver through meat. Dust and debris exploded in every direction, and pieces of roof, archways, windows, doors and occasionally a startled resident pirouetted into the mild afternoon sky.
Still clenched in the Juggernaut's fist, Twinaxe at first emitted a curious high-pitched terrified wheeze. But as he realized he was not actually about to die, his wheeze became a hysterical giggle and he settled back to enjoy this unexpected and unconventional journey through the thing that humans called - civilization.
