The most useful monster.

But Choke and Disorientation will hit hard!

And Life has an upgrade =P

The movement range requires maxing out Tactics.

This is required for everyone. You can't do without Tactics at all.

The increase is appropriate.

By the way, the increase is quite large... it's still better to have 3, but also slightly increase the parameters.

Plus, there is an opportunity to reach closed enemy heroes, archers, and sorcerers who are protected by living shields.

What's the point?:) So what if you reach them? You won't kill many. And no one will let you make 5-6 shots)

Nevertheless, the catapult on the castle tower is not funny at all.

I would be more afraid of monks, especially in terms of accuracy (+% to damage) and other nice things. Although the fact that they (catapults) cannot be disabled with confusion is definitely a plus for them. But there is always a trick up your sleeve for such cases:)
