Homebrew Dryad Species Details
When a fey spirit is bound to a tree it is forever transformed into a Dryad. The elegant Dryads resemble the most beautiful, female elves. Their golden skin is the colour of sunlight, with the texture of smooth bark. Their shapely forms are draped in flowing dresses, made of woven leaves or flower petals, as is their cascading hair.
