Spar Husbando

Spar or Aspara Gus in the Japanese version is a character within Breath of Fire II. Ryu and his party can come across Spar very early in the game by visiting the circus tent, but he's not important to the plot until much later in the game when the group requires his assistance to communicate with the dying forests. The Circus Director, having been possessed by a Demon, threatens to have monsters kill Spar to gain some fame for the circus. The party intervenes and defeats the director, only to realize the Spar has been a willing captive the whole time, waiting for people who know something is wrong in the world. Spar joins the team and aids them by communicating with the great trees throughout the world. He is also pivotal in partially restoring the mind of the Wise Tree by helping Ryu and the party enter his mind and defeat the demon inside. Spar has the most Shaman combinations available and the most possible transformations. He can become a small flowerbud, a child-like witch character (modeled after magical witch girls in anime) or a snapdragon (a literal take on the actual plant bearing resemblance to its mythological namesake). This large number of forms can help boost his lower combat ability.
