Thinking of making a druid again, but this time I want to draw inspiration from pre-existing druids in film, literature and general media. I'm aware of the archetypes surrounding the typical druid, but I'm also curious to know what the community thinks is the best druid/or your favourite in media.
Radagast the Brown is the go-to in the Tolkienverse, but I think Tom Bombadil is even more druid-y, in the ways that he is truly connected to nature and disinterested in the material world or affairs of civilization. He speaks with plants to quiet down Old Man Willow, celebrates the rain, is married to the Daughter of the River, and the one thing you see him battle are undead. Sure he is a demigod or more, but his nature is very Druid.
There are two threads about this, "druids in fiction" and "legendary druids" in this sub forum. Here was my answer to one of those:
Layla Williams in Sky High (Movie). Controls plants.
Kinoko Komori in My Hero Academia is A Circle of Spores Druid
Sandman (Neil Gaimon) could have some circle of Dreams levels
Manimal (1983 tV show): Circle of Moon
Beastboy (Titans, Teen Titans, dc comics): Circle of Moon
Jayna from DC Comics (Zan and Jayna from superfriends cartoon in the 80s): Circle of moon
STARMAN (JACK KNIGHT) from Dc Comics: Circle of Stars
Vixen (Legends of tomorrow TV show and dc comics): Circle of Moon
Characters in Roswell New Mexico TV show have various powers. Isabel could be circle of dreams (she dreamwalks). I'm sure somebody there hits circle of Stars.
The best? Radagast the Brown, Kinoko Komori, and Layla Williams, and Poison Ivy come to mind.
Calypso (Pirates of the Caribbean): Calypso, also known as Tia Dalma, is a fictional character in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. While not explicitly referred to as a druid, she possesses mystical powers and has a deep connection with the sea and nature.
