** ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' had Wood Man, a wooden robot who used leaves both as shields and as weapons. His concept was recycled with Plant Man in ''VideoGame/MegaMan6''.
** In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', Mega Man has nothing but disdain for Wood Man and the Leaf Shield, even after using the latter to defeat Air Man.
** Then there was [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060705 Plant Man]]. [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060706 Yeah]]. [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060708 Plant Man]].

** There is also Axle the Red from ''VideoGame/MegaManX5'' and Bamboo Pandamonium from ''VideoGame/MegaManX8''.

* Druvis III of ''VideoGame/Reverse1999'' uses plant-based incantations to fight, such as growing massive thorny roots from the ground to overwhelm her enemies. She also uses it for much more mundane purposes like keeping burn-out Rowan trees alive, or maintaining the freshness of the mistletoe bouquet she carries around.

Characters with a GreenThumb in VideoGames.
----
%%* ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'': Konoha's default Arcana Moriomoto.
* ''VideoGame/BloodlineChampions'' has a bloodline called the Thorn. Against the usual characterization of these powers, Thorns are monsters who've twisted plants to serve them in their attacks.
* ''VideoGame/BountyOfOne'': Ollin is a desert spirit who wields a MagicStaff that grants him cactus powers. He shoots cactus spines at enemies and his signature ability fires a cactus ball that explodes into a SpreadShot of spines upon impact. The Mezcal Defiance and Mezcal Mantle items also allow any character to fire cactus spikes as a MultiDirectionalBarrage.
* ''Videogame/CavesOfQud'' offers you the Burgeoning mental mutation, which causes for to spontaneously bloom in the spot selected. Said flora is on your side and taken from Qud's ''notoriously'' dangerous plantlife; thus, you can expect chaos every time you use it, but it's certainly powerful.
* ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'': The [[WindIsGreen Green]] Element combines this with BlowYouAway. Green spells revolve around attacking with leaves, poisonous thorns and vines, and summoning enormous Venus flytraps.
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': Controllers and Dominators had access to the Plant Control power set, which ultimately allows for the creation of a healing tree and a walking fly trap.
* ''VideoGame/{{Dawn}}'': [[PlayerCharacter Ash]] can make flowers bloom and vines grow.
* ''VideoGame/DCUniverseOnline'' has the "Nature" powerset, with half of the powers focusing on the "Flora" element of nature (a.k.a. plants). The other half focuses on the "Fauna" aspect of nature (i.e. animal powers, with VoluntaryShapeshifting and the like).
* ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients'':
** Rooftrellen has abilities that make teammates invisible when they are near trees, plant trees that give sight, wrap allies in protective regenerative plants, and summon vines to disable all enemies in an area.
** The Prophet can teleport to any tree on the map, summon {{Treants}}, and snare an enemy in a ring of trees.
* ''Franchise/DragonAge'': While Dalish Keepers didn't have unique spells in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', in the ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]'' expansion and ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' Velanna and Merrill, respectively, have special spell trees (no pun intended) that fall into this category. While the effects were somewhat simplistic in Velanna's case, with increased nature damage and attacking roots featuring prominently, Merrill's Keeper spells include powerful [=AoE=] spells that inflict nature damage, gaining health from the damage inflicted by the previously mentioned spell (even if she's using BloodMagic at the time), and teleporting with roots.
%%* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': Geomancers.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'': This is played with regarding Prince Leo's [[SignatureMove Signature spellbook]], Brynhildr. Invoking the spell summons magical verdant trees that shoot up and impale from below, and it can also grow fruit, according to WordOfGod. It can also passively levitate objects and people, invoking GravityMaster and DishingOutDirt as well (he uses it to levitate rocks in a cutscene on the ''Birthright'' route). On the other hand, Leo himself classifies Brynhildr as [[TheSacredDarkness dark magic]] in his supports.
* ''VideoGame/GrimDawn'': The Shaman mastery can sprout patches of lashing vines out of the ground that pin enemies down and inflict bleeding, summon a briarthorn monster as an ally, and invoke a blessing from the god of nature that gives them the resilience of ancient trees.
* The ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' series lumps this in with the [[DishingOutDirt earth element]]. Matthew, the hero of the third game is the first to have plant-based spells in his default class, but he doesn't really develop the ability.
** Himi, the second Venus adept in the party is able to cast all of the plant-based Psynergy in the game.
* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' has Viridi, the goddess of nature. It also provides a very extreme example with her {{Fantastic Nuke}}s called Reset Bombs, which are intended to turn areas to their original plant-covered state.
* Marluxia from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. His powers have a death flavor to them as a counterpart to the recurring Cure line of spells, which take a floral appearance.
* In ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' and ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'', Kirby gains a Leaf ability that allows him to toss around razor-sharp leaves to do damage as well as summon plants to hide in or to attack.
* Zyra, [[GaiasVengeance the Rise of Thorns]] from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', being the living embodiment of an ancient and powerful plant, has spells that revolve around the rapid growth of plants. She can plant buds on the battlefield and [[TheTurretMaster either grow them into plants that attack]] with thorns, tendrils, and vines.
* ''[[VideoGame/MagicalVacation Magical Starsign]]'''s Chai the Wood Mage.
* Being pacted to the [[{{Familiar}} Mana of Trees]] allows Nikki of ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'' to use plant-based attacks, including her FinishingMove.
* ''VideoGane/MarioPartyStarRush'': Peach, Daisy, and Toadette have the ability to make flower buds bloom by landing nearby them. Doing so will earn a handful of coins for their team.
* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' had Wood Man, a wooden robot who used leaves both as shields and as weapons. His concept was recycled with Plant Man in ''VideoGame/MegaMan6''.
** In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', Mega Man has nothing but disdain for Wood Man and the Leaf Shield, even after using the latter to defeat Air Man.
** Then there was [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060705 Plant Man]]. [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060706 Yeah]]. [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060708 Plant Man]].
** Then again, he did manage to [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060328 rip Cut Man limb from limb with vines in an earlier comic.]]
** There is also Axle the Red from ''VideoGame/MegaManX5'' and Bamboo Pandamonium from ''VideoGame/MegaManX8''.
* You learn a spell in ''VideoGame/TheNightOfTheRabbit'' that allows you to make plants grow.
* [[ManEatingPlant Plant]] from ''VideoGame/NuclearThrone'', as a [[PlantPerson walking plant]], has the ability to ensnare its prey in vines that sprout instantly from launched seeds. Its plant-based abilities can be upgraded by one of two Ultra Mutations: "Trapper" and "Killer". "Trapper" expands Plant's vines into a mini-jungle where almost nothing can escape, while "Killer" creates vicious saplings from enemy corpses that [[SuicideAttack home into the nearest enemy and explode]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' has the Hanagami, a trifecta of [[PhysicalGod plant-based Brush Gods]], Sakigami, Tsutagami, and Hasugami. When you get their power, drawing a circle around a dead tree, scribbling over a miniature cursed zone, or painting a dot on fertile ground yields Bloom, drawing a line connecting a Konohana Blossom to something makes a Vine (inverted in [[VideoGame/{{Okamiden}} the sequel]]), and drawing circles on water creates Lilypads for you to {{walk on water}}.
* Grass-type ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' are said to have these powers either by using built-in plant features or creating/manipulating plants around them. They also tend to specialize in StatusEffects and learn lots of moves that poison, paralyze, or put opponents to sleep, rather than dealing lots of direct damage. Moreover, standard with mostly every core series game throughout the franchise, a Grass-type is one of three available starter Pokémon.
** Specialists of Grass-type Pokémon include Gym Leaders Erika of Celadon City in Kanto, Gardenia of Eterna City in Sinnoh, Cilan of Striaton City in Unova (one of three, in fact), Ramos of Coumarine City in Kalos, Gym Leader Milo of Turffield in Galar and Brassius of Artazon in Paldea and Alola Trial Captain Mallow.
** Oddly, the most straightforward example of this trope might be the Pokémon Florges (and its pre-volutions, Flabebe and Floette) who use interacting-with-nature moves as her bread and butter, despite being a fairy type. Her main function in a battle is to power-up grass-types on the same team. You could think of it, as, true to the trope, using nature as a weapon.
* The Chloromancer, one of the Mage sub-classes of ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'', is built around using the Plane of Life to conjure plants. While most of their magic is weak, through the use of "Veils" they convert most of the damage they deal, if not more, into healing to people around them, making them incredibly powerful group healers.
* Despite appearing to be an ice magic-user, Eifer Skute of ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' actually manipulates plants and flora.
* In ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'', both the girl and the sprite learn a few nature-based spells from Dryad, the Tree Spirit.
** Hawkeye's Wanderer class in ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'' can learn all of Dryad's spells but one. Incidentally, he can also learn all but one of {{Luna|cy}}'s spells.
** Instruments endowed with Dryad's power.
* Anegakoji Yoritsuna from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' is an IneffectualLoner who lives in the forest due to his dislike of other samurai. His powers include dropping huge tree limbs on his opponent.
* The second and third ''VideoGame/TheSims'' games: In ''VideoGame/TheSims2'', Sims with a golden talent badge in gardening can talk to plants and improve their quality. In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', Green Thumb is actually a Sim trait. With the introduction of a Supernatural expansion, Fairies are this.
* The magical element that draws from the [[WeirdMoon Green Moon]] in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' is labeled "nature", and it resembles the Wood element; one of the magic attacks drawing from the Green Moon is a toxic gas. Also, the continent under the Green Moon, Ixa'taka, is covered with forests and the Moon's magic allows it to grow and quickly recover from damage.
* At first, the Life element in ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' dealt solely in this trope, with its users being PlantPeople with varying control over plant life, such as spitting acorns that trapped opponents in slowing vines, creating vines with explosive peppers, or growing plants to serve as a barricade. However, it would later also combine this with TheBeastmaster, though sticks mostly to plant life for the most part. In the ElementalRockPaperScissors, it beats [[MakingASplash Water]] but loses to [[{{Necromancy}} Undead]].
* ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'': On one level, there are giant frogs that can conjure rain that causes plants in the vicinity to grow. The following level has the opposite in the form of black frogs whose rain causes plants to die, which works out well for the player when it causes the giant fruits hanging from vines to fall off and crush nearby enemies.
* ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'':
** Plantmancer is one of the classes the player can choose powers from. It's a support class with a potent group heal that also buffs the affected allies (but has a three turn cooldown in exchange), a move that knocks enemies away from the player and causes [[StatusEffects Bleeding]], one that pulls them towards the player and Charms them for a few turns, and a LimitBreak that revives all downed party members and heals the rest.
** In the ''Bring the Crunch'' DLC, the monsters (really just crackheads in monster costumes) can use vine attacks like the Plantmancer.
* Tytree Crowe in ''VideoGame/TalesOfRebirth'' possesses the Force of Plant, which he sometimes uses during his artes.
* The Nature type in ''VideoGame/{{Temtem}}'' mainly consists of {{Planimal}}s who learn a lot of healing and support moves.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' series has the Pagans, who can manipulate plants and use them to either help allies or harm enemies. [[spoiler:Viktoria]] from the first two games and the Pagan Shamans from the third game in particular use plant-based attacks, [[spoiler:Viktoria]] extending vines to pin or impale enemies and the Shamans firing blasts of natural energy at enemies and using it to speed up allies. They represent Chaos, worship the [[MadGod Trickster]] and want to restore nature to prominence, hating advanced technology and the inhabitants of the City, particularly the [[KillItWithFire Hammerites]] (and Mechanists in the second game) who represent Order, worship the [[CrystalDragonJesus Builder]] and want to spread technology throughout the world. The Earth Mages in the first game can also fire a projectile that will entangle Garret in vines if it hits and gradually sap his health until he shakes free. The moss arrows create patches of vegetation that muffle any movement you made on them, and in the third game can choke enemies it is fired at, rendering them temporarily helpless. The vine arrows in the second game create vines down from any surface that they are fired at which you can use to climb up high areas, unlike the similar rope arrows which can only create ropes down from wooden or grass surfaces.
* ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammer'': The game trilogy has Life Magic as described under Tabletop.
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' has several examples:
** Yuuka Kazami, despite being one of the most powerful beings in Gensokyo, is actually a downplayed example. ''[[AllThereInTheManual Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' states that her power only consists of minor things like making flowers bloom, tilting the direction of sunflowers, and reviving dead flowers. This is explicitly said to be useless in battle and only serves to make her attacks prettier. She is, however, still one of, if not ''the'' oldest {{Youkai}} in the setting, [[FlightStrengthHeart with physical and magical powers]] [[StrongerWithAge to match,]] and she loves her flowers. [[BerserkButton Do not hurt Yuuka Kazami's flowers.]] '''[[AxCrazy Just. Don't.]]'''
** Wood is one of the elements that Patchouli is able to use.
** Suwako Moriya has it as a part of her [[DishingOutDirt earth god]] abilities, and the Mishaguji she controls manipulate the fertility of the soil. She and [[GodOfHumanOrigin Kanako]] use these powers to [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly gather faith]] by essentially warning people that [[ShameIfSomethingHappened there may be a crop failure if they're not worshipped.]]
* ''VideoGame/TreeOfSavior'''s Druids follow modern expectations. Half of their skillset involves manipulation of plants -- protecting allies with them, turning grass into {{Man Eating Plant}}s, or creating enchanted patches of grass that temporarily convert enemies who tread on them into Plant-type creatures.
* ''VideoGame/{{Trove}}'': This is the bread and butter of the Chloromancer class, which is able to summon plants that can attack enemies or heal allies. Their unique Class Gem can allow them to summon a plant that can shoot at enemies, and their ultimate skill flings plants all around them.
%%* ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'': Druids, particularly the hero version, the Keeper of the Grove.
* ''VideoGame/{{Wildermyth}}'': Mystics can exert basic control over nearby plant life by interfusing with it. The Naturalist and Arches abilities grant more advanced skill in this area.
* Druids in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' have several plant-based spells, including, but not limited to, entangling roots, growing thorns over their bodies, summoning [[WhenTreesAttack treants]], or turning into them with a boost to their healing spells.
** Balance Druids, in particular, focus on this trope. ''Cataclysm'' expands this with exploding Magic Mushrooms that leave behind fungus that slows enemies. Restoration druids get to grow healing plants as a side effect of their spells.
** Anyone with the Herbalism skill used to have access to a haste-increasing ability which caused flowers to sprout around them.
