Strengths and Weaknesses

Polytaurs are good for:

Early-game rushes. They are very strong on offense, but not so tough on defence. If you could quickly overpower enemies in a single turn without giving them the chance to fight back, you will find much success using these.

This is especially helpful in the early game. You can move a unit onto a forest tile that has a wild animal, then enchant the animal. Sometimes, the unit will be "boosted" toward a direction that may be advantageous, giving units an "extra move". In the beginning of the game, this can be used to help your starting warrior move faster.

Polytaurs aren't good for:

Tanking damage. Their low defence stat means despite their 15 health, they are easy targets for enemies and can take substantial damage from Defender or even Boat attacks.

Trivia

There are theoretically 225 possible ways a Polytaur can look. It can have one of the fifteen animal heads, and one of the fifteen tribe colors, via Mind Benders; however in a normal game, you would only ever see up to 210 different varieties as it is impossible to create a Mamoo (Polaris game) Polytaur, as Polaris terrain always reverts to the original terrain when their city is captured, thereby making it impossible for an Elyrion player to obtain a tile with a Mamoo on it. The sprites for these nonetheless exist in the game files.

In beta, Polytaurs used to have the "decay" skill, making them expire after a short lifespan of 3 turns.
