IMO the Vine Ogre is the "best" nature summon after you have a few Ivy Kings. The best part about the Vine Ogre is that it is a NORMAL unit. There are few normal units in the game that actually have the hps to stand up to SCs and wizards, and with Ivy Kings, Vine Ogres are by far the cheapest. They have 53hps and 12 attack skill. They can actually hit stuff too.
