Homebrew Fae Nymph Species Details

They come in many different shapes, styles, and colors, depending on where the nymph hails from. If they are from the Spring and Summer portions of the Faewild, then the nymph may very well have rounded edges to their bodies and bright, maybe even pastel, colorations to them. If they are from the Autumn portion, they might display influences of both Summer and Winter in their appearance, and should they be from the Winter side of the realm, the nymph might sport low saturated colors (like that of a dead leaf or wilted flower) and sharper edges to their physique.

Being plants, nymphs are born from bud pods, much like Dragonborn, Kobolds, and Lizardfolk are from eggs. Young nymphs are like young birds: fragile, awkward, and without their distinctive and unique features yet until they blossom into adults.

They are superb climbers, as they can expose the roots within their bodies to help them up sheer edges.
