Increasing the model size for Rangers isn't the solution. They aren't giants... But completely abandoning fairies and dancers isn't appealing to me either...(I'll rework the Anven model to be female.) They all have enough animations for combat mode, and that includes fairies, druids, and dancers.
Druids are actually a good fit here – they have animations for both shooting and casting, and while they aren't very large, they are bigger than the other suggested creatures and are at least somewhat noticeable on the map.
For elves, the most acceptable option is still the one suggested by psatkha (he didn't implement it, but he described the principle).
Блистает там воздушностью прогалин.
Но между кедров, полных тишиной,
Расщелина по склону ниспадала.
О, никогда под бледною луной
Так пышен не был тот уют лесной...
