I'm made a character (not playing it currently, but the idea is more or less hammered out), that is a boy raised in the jungle by Dryads. They found him abandoned as a baby and cared for him as a baby, giving him lots of affection. But as he got older, their care would lessen. From the time he could walk they left more and more of his care to the creatures of the jungle. They gave him Druid powers at the tail end of his toddler years and we're only in his life in passing. That's the RP stuff.
Mechanically, I made him Druid 1 Rogue Thief for the rest. I feel like this will give that touch of feral, without going full animal. Naturally he would have high Dex and Wis, but I also wanted him to have a high Int.
Skill wise, I thought animal handing, stealth, investigation, acrobatics, and of course stealth would make the most sense.
Well met, strangers! I’m Kwilgok-once a dinosaur racer, now the best guide in Port Nyanzaru. I’ve traveled up the River Soshenstar to the Aldani Basin and back. I’ve visited so many corners of Chult and can tell you there’s no land more beautiful and dangerous. This is my ankylosaurus, Deadly Treasure. Quite a prize isn’t she? Follows me everywhere. We cost 6 gold pieces a day, with payment for 30 days upfront. Very expensive, yes, but worth it, I promise you.

Race Wood Elf. I hate typing on my phone
Why not 2 levels druid for subclass?
Why thief instead of scout?
I didn't want/need wild shape and just didn't want that much Druid.
As for Scout Rogue, I wasn't aware of those. I'll check it out
I had to agonize over this one, but the Thief gives me more of what I want
Have you considered taking a class in ranger
