Homebrew Dryad Species Details

  • Dryads are the enchanted daughters of the demigod Cenarius. The playful, frolicking creatures vaguely resemble a female night elf for the upper part of their bodies, while the lower part is more akin to woodland fawns. They are swift and sure and are at peace with all of the children of the forest. Like the keepers of the grove, while they prefer peace and abhor unnecessary violence, the dryads will defend the wildlands of Kalimdor with their lives if need be. They are curious, but only a few leave the forests. They can enter the Emerald Dream by shifting their bodies between the planes.
