Beast Plant

Combat
One of the more self-sufficient tanks. They can boost their own effectiveness with Rejuvenate and Harden Skin, AbsorbWater for extra shields, Poison enemies with basic attacks, and cause Bleeding with their Claws.

Note that they have weak Magic, which limits the effectiveness of their Harden Skin and SpawnVine skills. Try to get them a different fourth skill from another species. From Plant Girl parentage Fairy offers Aegis or Restoration, and Plant Lizard offers Regenerate or Cure. From Beast Girl parentage Beast Taur offers Ram for moving faster through water, Light Fox offers HealingClaws, Protect or Aegis, and Beast Lizard offers Enhance.

Alternatively the disparity in Stats is small enough that you could make up the difference with Traits. Generalist alone will bring their Magic Growth up on par with their Strength Growth. Also, as their utility comes more from their Skills than their Stats, you could look at trading some Health for Mana by making one an Average Level Type. Support Type isn't recommended though as they would lose too much on Health.

Overworld
They have Heightened Sense which gives a bonus to scouting.
